I don’t want to be mean about it (maybe a little) but why are some players having babies during the season?  I’m pretty sure we can all count to “9,” so I’d like to see some better planning.  So far, I’ve seen Mrs. Ethier and Mrs. Teixeira and their impending rugrats somehow take priority over my fantasy team.

Don’t they know I’m only a few homeruns away from moving up 3 points? Obviously not.

I say everything tongue in cheek, but I really hope these players can focus on baseball rather than in-season births.  Just like any other impending father, you can’t help being anxious and worried about the baby’s health, your wife, and every other gut wrenching part (at least they don’t have to worry about money like the rest of us mortals).

So, when the stress has finally subsided, life tends to look a little brighter and maybe I can get those few extra points.

Oh, by the way, congratulations – I guess.
