CBS SportsLine Fantasy Baseball 1998

Matt Young's typical day is filled with a lot of cursing. Read this and you will know why.

I play in an eight-team, AL-only league with a standard $260 cap. There are no keepers, nor a farm system. My hitting is ranked third in the league, my pitching is last. Why? I drafted Tony Saunders, Juan Guzman, Jason Bere, Mike Fetters, and Matt Karchner. That is a recipe for disaster -- I'm in last place.

This is a typical day in my life:

8:00AM - Wake up for work.

8:05AM - Grab the paper off the front steps.

8:06AM - Check box scores and curse the early edition of the paper. All the late games are omitted.

8:07AM - Curse my pitching staff.

9:15AM - Arrive at work.

9:20AM - Log on to the 'Net, check the box scores that the paper omitted.

9:21AM - Curse my pitching staff.

9:25AM - Check the pitching matchups for today's games.

11:AM - Endure ridicule from coworkers about my pitching staff.

Lunch - Check team reports, updates, and rumor mill. Read disparaging emails from other owners.

2:00PM - Check any afternoon scores. Curse my pitching staff.

5:30PM - Check any scores before leaving work.

8:00PM - Watch a couple innings of whatever game is on TV.

11:00PM - Log on and check scores before I hit the sack. Curse my pitching staff.
