Note: This is the first post of I don't know how many, that will be about my fantasy baseball team, written as it is real life, and really important, because if you can't be good at video games and fantasy sports, then what can you be good at?
First is was Big Z and Vlad, then the entire left side of the infield as both Hanley and Aramis Ramirez missed almost an entire week. Then D Lee has missed a few games and has a MRI scheduled, and just when Aramis was starting to be back and play better, he is now out for 6-8 weeks. And though Vlad still has a few weeks left before he comes back to, Pumpsmeup manager Steve Schwanda has tried to stay positive, despite his teams 31-36-3 record.
"Injuries are part of the game." said Schwanda, "you hate to see it happen, but hopefully we are getting them all out of the way in May and June, and by July we will be back to 100% and playing our best baseball" Schwanda added, "as long as we get in to the playoffs, I am confident in my team."
A team that last year made it all the way to the finals of the league, and got Schwanda some much needed money. "getting back to the finals is our goal, we are in this to win it." Schwanda responded when asked what are the team goals for this year. "we are not doing well right now, but we will continue to battle and do what we need to do to stay competitive."
One thing that has been done is the adding of Hank Blalock and Scott Rolen to the roster. "Hank steeped up big with two homers last night, hopefully he can keep that going, we need both of them to be ready to go everyday if needed." Schwanda then added "as long as Hanley stays healthy now and plays like he can, and Ryan Howard has another year like last year, we still should be fine. We have enough talent in our lineup still to keep it going even with Aramis and Vlad out."
As for pitching, so far that has been kept together by Zack Greinke. "our pitching staff is something that just needs to keep the ERA down, and we hope we score enough runs to be fine. Zack has pitched very well, as well as some of our other young arms, and I hope that continues."
With it only being May 11, there is still plenty of time, and Manager Schwanda knows not to panic. "there is lots of time, we are not going to blow up the team, we will be fine. We have lost a lot of close games, and this is no time to panic."
I'm right, you're wrong

Team Officals have refused to comment but rumor has it The TRAIN is willing to give up starting pitcher J.Lester, 1b/3b eligible C.Davis in the package
ESPN's Amy Nelson has reported Pumpsmeup is aware there is intrest in Grinke and has said, we are happy with Zack right now, but we are always willing to listen to any and all offers for any player on our team.. besides Hanley R.
