Fantasy players playing fantasy.

Here's a neat article on ESPN.com about MLB players playing fantasy football. I got a kick out of it so I thought I'd share.

Where'd I go?" Lee said.

"Late third round," I said. "T.J. Simers of the L.A. Times got you. You're a bargain."

"Who went first?" he said, scanning the sheet.

"Pujols."

Lee nodded his head in agreement.

In a bad way it makes you the fans that you hate as a baseball player," he said. "If you have a football player who doesn't do well for you, you put him on your black list. You get emotionally involved."

I REEEAAAAALLLLLYYYY don't like Derek Lowe right now. I benched Burnett for him.

I swear last night in the first inning I would have sworn he was evil.

"You hear everything," [Dunn] said. "I'll strike out and they'll say I'm killing them. Hey, don't draft me then."

Ain't that the truth! I wonder if any of these veteran fantasy ballers have ever visited this site. Do they even need to?

Great find!

"They'll say, 'Need you to steal a base. ... Need you to hit a home run,'" said Lee, smiling at the ridiculousness of it all. "Yeah, OK, just for you, buddy."

Lol, a buddy of mine actually said something like this once to Zach Greinke at the beginning of the year when we were at a Royals/Mariners game. He said something like, "Hey Zach, don't give up too many runs today, I need my ERA lowered on my fantasy team." Greinke didn't really acknowledge him but I could see he had a little smirk on his face. His line that day

Funny none of them admitted to playing fantasy baseball. I guess there would be some conflict of interest or something...

I was at a Cubs-D-backs game a few years ago and my buddy who was having a bad month in fantasy, and also had one too many Old Style's stood up during a lull in the game and shouted the following at Steve Finley (who was then in a slump).

"Your fantasy stats are killing me, you jackass!"

"You hear everything," [Dunn] said. "I'll strike out and they'll say I'm killing them. Hey, don't draft me then."

The Reds are 20-plus games out of first in the NL Central. No wonder he has four fantasy teams.

Dunn has four fantasy teams. No wonder the Reds are 20-plus games out f first in the NL Central.
