We recorded this 2-3 weeks ago and Aleks' forgot to edit and post. So I'm going to instead post lyrics from Christopher Cross' hit "Sailing":
Well, it's not far down to paradise
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find tranquility
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see, believe me
It's not far to never never land
No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy
Of innocence again
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see, believe me
Sailing
Takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
Soon I will be free
We are finally back, mostly because Chip has been busy and we're both quite bitter about our records. This week we burrow deep into Aleks' team and their deep sorrow. And somehow he's doing very good. We shred/enliven his team and discuss some overall themes in fantasy baseball in 2022, especially the challenge in trading players. We note the upcoming schedule and our upcoming fishing expedition. You don't want to miss this week. Or miss it. What do we care?
This week we recap the extended Chicago Beef League Week 1, we discuss troubling trends in fantasy baseball and pleasant surprises. A brief preview of Week 2, followed by a new RAPID FIRE segment. Then Chip wants to know if the new IT movies are appropriate for his kids to watch. You don't want to miss this week.
And one of us is optimistic and the other has serious concerns. Tune in for that and our discussion of top five free agents. Our first 30 minute episode so NO EXCUSES!
Well well well. Chip wins the 2021 Chicago Beef league championship, Aleks accuses Chip of poisoning and we finally end the podcast hiatus. We're BACK and better* than ever. We discuss how the season (magically) ended and potential categories needing replacement (ahem: wins, barf). We kindly note how Suneel sucks, briefly note our keepers and the implications of the upcoming MLB lockout of players. We end by discussing our newfound love of the Seattle Kraken, admiration of Edmonton Oilers and the brief re-emergence of the Bulls.
* - or worse possibly for Aleks.
Buckle up. This is the penultimate episode of the 2021 Chicago Beef League championship. We talk last week's fiasco/shocker, and then this week RAPTUROUS* MATCHUPS: Brutes vs Ferni. Canucks vs Crips. Where true heroes are born. We finish up with an extensive conversation about sandwiches, and what else, Sarkis (Lorettas and Disasters).
* - I typed it first cuz it sounds fun, then looked it up to find it means "characterized by, feeling, or expressing great pleasure or enthusiasm". Fitting. Blind squirrel finds another nut.
As the Beef League season comes to a close chaos is in the air. Join your favorite hosts Aleks & Chip for a breakdown of what the hell happened in Beef last week. Your hosts stumble around possible playoff seeding scenarios as they discuss this week's matchups. And then get some parenting advice from Chip. You won't want to miss this.
