follow friday: my fantasy baseball team edition

so this team is full and set (just 3 people who have to go set up their teams so they’re all official) and i realized that i’m playing with some cool people and that perhaps you should follow them, too.

• etralos: super fun girl, has my favorite team name (Disco Stick) apart from my own.
• rideronthestorm: super sarcastic, clever, and carrying the snark mantle since i have left the snarkface moniker.
• klendathudrop: the boyfriend. it’s his league technically. eyeroll. he doesn’t tumbl anymore though. his old movie lists are awesome and worth reading for sure. i think he’s swell.
• therealkatiewest: i love katie so much and you are all probably following her already. i love her even more because she loves baseball, too.
• slackmo: i’m not kidding, guys. he is my favorite tumblr of all. so funny, so smart, and just posts great content.
• thisdanthat: i just started following him but i can already tell he’s going to be a hilarious addition to my dashboard. also, a mets fan so yeah.
• harpermd: one of my favorite tumblr baseball fans. he has a dodgers snuggie so this is obviously an instant follow.
• section9: another mets fan, another smart, funny tumblr. sense a theme?
• girlperson: if you’re reading this and not following me, maybe you should be. just saying.
• chels*: such good content, such a smart girl. one of my favorite tumblrs.
• lawful*: good taste in music, and the nicest dude around. also, person #472 to tell me “don’t go to law school!” even though he’s a lawyer.
• awkwardlyawesome*: nickea is my girl because we love cupcakes, baseball, and LOST. she is hilarious and you’re probably already following her.

*all of you with asterisks, go set up your teams before you lose your spots and/or i kill you.

disc 6 of Baseball has had DiMaggio, Ted Williams, Dodgers (in Brooklyn, not LA), and best of all, the All American Girl Professional Baseball League. You know, A League of Their Own is on netflix instant watch. Just sayin’.

Okay. So. FANTASY BASEBALL. Come closer.

The league is all set and I know a few of you (chels, nickea, etralos? anyone else? section9?) were interested in playing so if you STILL ARE or if you want to jump on the bandwagon of fun now, message me on here or email me: iraqthecasbah@gmail.com for the league code and password and whatnot. It’s going to be awesome.

I mean, my team’s name is BEARAN BEARAN, how can you say no?

In our sun-down perambulations, of late, through the outer parts of Brooklyn, we have observed several parties of youngsters playing “base”, a certain game of ball…Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our close rooms…the game of ball is glorious. -Walt Whitman

Fact: I really like Ken Burns and his super long documentaries. In fact, I tend to write emails in that Civil War kind of style: “MY DEAREST MARGARET, IT HAS BEEN A FORTNIGHT SINCE I HAVE SEEN YOUR LOVELY FACE. THE CAMPAIGN CONTINUES TO REMOVE THESE YANKEE RASCALS FROM OUR LAND.” I’m sorry if you receive one of these in the future. (Or you’re welcome!) Anyways, I’m watching Baseball now which has brought joy to my father’s heart. Also, I agree with Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth really could run fast for a fatso.

“I’m the man with the ball. I’m the man who can throw it faster than fuck. So that is why I’m better than everyone else in the world. Kiss my ass and suck my dick, everyone.” (brvtalbrodeo & humanmess)

michelledeluca: Seeing as the Mets plan on sucking, I would appreciate them signing Jon Hamm - he can’t be any worse than the rest of the team (he was decent in the celeb game) and he would look a heluva lot better. Look at that. Two of my newfound interests together at last. JON HAMM + BASEBALL = AMERICA.
