I woke up in a cold sweat this morning after a horrible dream. You see, I took Ichiro! is the first round of my AL Only fantasy keeper league and in my dream he was traded to the Padres for Tony Gwynn. The way our league is set up is that if your guy is traded, you get what he was traded for. It wouldn't have been all bad except that in my dream, Gwynn was retired just as he in real life, but Major League Baseball DIDN'T CARE! They approved the trade so Ichiro! was essentially traded for nothing. I couldn't believe it. I was so mad that my season was just about ruined. Instead of having a high average, great base-stealer, I was stuck with a fat coach that doesn't even play! Things only got weirder. I was all pissed off about this trade, but decided to go on a date with this girl. She kept asking why I was so mad, but I couldn't tell her because it is the mecca of dorkiness. Anyway, I finally tell her. Instead of leaving because I'm such a nerd, she says, "That's f!@$#ed up! Your league should make a stipulation where you still get Ichiro's numbers. That's why I play mixed leagues." I don't remember anything after that, but I have to imagine that I married this lovely, lovely woman. Mixed leagues aside, what a gem she must've been.
I am a complete nerd.
I believe I'm currently living with this woman. We watch every Red Sox game together, we watch every Patriot game together, and we're in every fantasy league together. All the guys in my Fantasy football league thought they were gonna roll right right over her until she ended up in the superbowl facing, you guessed it...me. I wooped her ass by like 50 points. If you ever get one of these dream women, never give her fantasy advice. It will come back to haunt you. Good luck in your search. Mine is done.
