I'm talking about the problem that every fantasy owner deals with every year... ROUTING FOR PLAYERS THAT YOU HATE. For instance if you're a Red Sox fan do you refuse to draft Yankees? and if you do draft them, how do you route for them to perform well?

i had nomar on alot of my teams last year. i say you just deal with it. honestly, i always had faith the red sox didnt have a prayer or beating the yanks for the division, so i had no problem rooting for nomar. this year, ill be a little less inclined to draft any boston players

I dislike Barry Bonds and so I usually draft him lower then most other people. I always like having Marlin players on my team because I watch so many of their games. But I do hate it when fantasy players are playing against my Marlins. I can never decide who to route for. :-/

Woohoo!!! I get my kicks by route-ing for 66. ;-)

I'm not sure why I was selected by peers to be honorary board grammar police for a day, but it's pretty funny.

I had Mariano Rivera on my team last year, nothing worse then needing a save when the Yankees are playing the Sox. Makes me root against my fantasy team, damn yankees.

A guy in my league rejected a trade for A-Rod, involving Jeter, because he doesn't want to have Yankees on his team. He said it was the best offer he'd received for him too, and probably would hvae accepted if not for the Yankee-factor. I HATE it when poeple are like that. It makes trading even harder...
