			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t know what I was thinking. I can&#8217;t pull myself away from the computer, lest I miss a huge hit from one of my players or an implosion by one of my pitchers. And I have a lot of players and pitchers to keep track of. Yahoo! StatTracker is always open, and I can&#8217;t help look at it every minute. This is obsession at its most time-destroying.</p>
<p>Right now I&#8217;m flipping out at A.J. Burnett having a 3.00 WHIP today. AND NOW HE JUST GAVE UP ANOTHER HIT ARE YOU KIDDING ME. This is in my regular draft head-to-head league with internet fellow internet forum denizens. I am currently losing 2-8 for the week and I HATE A.J. BURNETT. Tim Lincecum could have thrown a perfect game and he wouldn&#8217;t have counterbalanced thisÂ ineptitude.</p>
<p>This is just a small example of my thought process over the course of each night, sometimes day. This weekend I will be checking all day and night while I&#8217;m in my house. If I had an iPhone, I&#8217;d be in big trouble. I&#8217;d end up setting an alarm to remind me to check every 5 minutes.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Wait a second, hot chick talking to me, I need to see if Cole Hamels melted down.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Just kidding, I&#8217;d never have that douche on one of my fantasy teams.</p>
<p>My roto team is the worst, because it&#8217;s so stupid to keep track day-by-day, nevermind minute-by-minute. Just an hour ago I was +6.0 points on the day due to some great pitching performances, but now I&#8217;m at -0.5 points because my lineup has been THAT bad. Roto is about the ridiculously long haul of the entire season, so getting worked up about a 3/30 performance from my offense is pointless. Maybe I should apply this philosophy when I watch Jason Bay strike out for the third time in the Mets game tomorrow. He&#8217;s going to come around, and the players on my roto team might go 15/35 with 4 HR tomorrow.</p>
<p>So why the fuck am I glued to my screen following the Giants-Cardinals matchup since the two starters represent my opponent and myself in the aforementioned H2H league ? I&#8217;m going to walk away right now, I swear.</p>
<p>But not before saying I am coasting in my auction draft H2H league. Roy Halladay for $35. Bargain of the year.</p>
