It's looking more and more like a one dog race as Cocktails and Dreams II leads the World Championship of Fantasy Baseball with 1084.5 points (86 %). He has a 88.5 point lead after 21 weeks. No team has been able to make a run at him. Most of his biggest competition had bad weeks and lost ground. His offense was solid across the board - .2903 BA, 49 runs, 12 HR's, 45 RBI, and 12 SB's. When you get to this time of year, you hope your star players play well. That's exactly what Hanley Ramirez ...

With another outstanding pitching week and the help of Robinson Cano, Cocktails and Dreams II opened up a 92.5 point lead in the World Championship of Fantasy Baseball. His pitching lined up perfect and the rest of us are feeling lucky that the gap didn't widen even more. His overall total now stands at 1092 points (86.6 %). For the week he had 15 starts with 5 wins, 3.050 ERA, 1.116 whip, 101 K's, and 3 SV's. The 101 K's is an incredible number. He was in a range where he would lose 8-10 ...

Another week off the calendar and Cocktails and Dreams II is still leading the World Championship of Fantasy Baseball. His pitching was lights out again (5 wins, 3.276 ERA, 1.004 whip and 70 K's). In a week when his starters didn't line up right. The magic continued when Bud Norris won his third game in four starts. Norris entered Saturdays game with a 5.63 ERA. In that game he struck out 14 batters allowing 2 runs in seven innings. It was just another impact game from one of his lower level ...

One man's garbage is another man's treasure. That is exactly the case with Brandon Morrow for Cocktails and Dreams II. He was cast off after 7 weeks of dismal pitching by Medfield's Maniacs. A week later Cocktails and Dreams II is waiting for the store to open to purchase this talented but underachieving player for $168. Brandon Morrow could have turned in the best pitching performance of the year for a fantasy player. He gave up one hit with two outs in the ninth. It wasn't perfection, but the ...

The dog days of August are here and Cocktails and Dreams II will hate to see the month of July come to an end. It was a great month especially the last two weeks of pitching where Chad's team won 15 games with an ERA under 3.00 and a whip in the 1.12 range. His offense was solid again this week. He hit every target number in every category - .302 BA, 49 R, 11 HR's, 48 RBI, and 11 SB's. Cocktails and Dreams II has 1062.5 points (84%) at the end of week 17. He has open up a 43 point lead on ...

Chad Schroeder isn't a fantasy baseball player, but this year he had to throw his hat in the ring when the WCOFB offered a $200,000 prize. When someone follows sports for a living, playing a little game of fantasy baseball can be like riding a bike. His team Cocktails and Dreams II is starting to heat up and it is on top of the leader board in the WCOFB with 1031.5 points (81.9 %). Believe me it isn't an accident that Chad is in the hunt this year. He's been fantasy sports for years. He just ...

A half point is separating Cocktails and Dreams II (1018.5 - 80.8 %) and Liquid Hippos III (1018 - 80.79 %) after 15 weeks in the WCOFB. The difference in winning or losing $200,000 could hinge on one out or one hit. The baseball season is so long, but the margin of victory can be so small. In 2006 I lost $25,000 by one strikeout.

The World Championship of Fantasy Baseball has seen a new team rise to the top of the overall standings. Liquid Hippos III has 1017.5 points (80.7 %). The team is owned by Greg Morgan. Greg has had plenty of success in the fantasy world. He's won a NFBC Ultimate league netting him $40,000 and he's made it twice to the final 15 in the FFOC. I'm not a 100 %, but I believe he won $40,000 and $30,000 in those two years. Along the way he has picked up plenty of smaller checks to bankroll his fantasy ...

We are officially past the half way point of the baseball season. As fast as a team can rise to the top, they can fade away into the sunset. Ryan's Gang held onto the lead despite losing 37+ points in the overall standings. They now have 991 points (78.7 %). My team had a train wreck of a week. My offense died and my pitching is starting to show signs of weakness. I dropped to fourth overall and I'm in a three way tie in my league with 110 points. Cocktails and Dreams made his way back to ...

It's a good thing it is only June, but I can only imagine the mood swings when you lose $150,000 in a day in the WCOFF. Your pitcher gives up a three run homer to a player on the second place team and bang you drop in the standings. The ride in fantasy baseball is never easy. As much as we would like to coast mid season to victory, it rarely happens. Players are always moving in different directions. One player is hot and another is cold. Do you sit a starter after getting bombed? Do you sit a ...

CC's Desperados was able to hold onto the lead in the WCOFB for the entire week. My team has 1036.5 points (82 %). The strength of this team is pitching. It has the most pitching points in the contest - 569 out of a possible 630 points. For the week, the starting pitching struggled ( 4.428 ERA and 1.392 whip). Even with the poor pitching, my team won 6 games and it had 78 K's. The bullpen was great. Billy Wagner saved three games and won another. Neftali Feliz saved 4 games. Saves were the ...

Another week in the books and we have a another leader in the WCOFB. CC's Desperados grabbed the lead with 989.5 points (78.5). The bad news is my team (Yes..I'm CC's Desperados if you didn't know) is in second place in my league to Liquid Hippos III owned by Greg Morgan. Greg has 115 league points and I have 112. It was interesting that neither of us made a run at hot prospect Mike Stanton. Going into the week, both of us had 600+ free agent dollars. I didn't want to make a huge bid, but I ...

The season is one third over. Ryan's Gang holds onto the lead for two weeks in a row. He lost a couple of points in the standings and dropped to 1023 points (81.1 %). Cocktails and Dream is knocking at the door with two teams in the top four. There are only 9 teams with more than 900 overall points. Each week you are still seeing big moves in points. The overall winner could still be sitting in the 700's just waiting for their team to jell.
