YAHOO FANTASY BASEBALL REPORT 
___________________________________
We opened up the baseball season last week and what an exciting Opening Week it was! With 4 $25 Dime Club Members in the league things will really be heating up on the diamonds.
Week 1 Results
Blue Crushers (Crushalot) 6
Fireballs (Smoothd) 5
Led by a surprising power outage from Corey Hart the Crushers were able to squeak out a victory over the Fireballs in a exciting Opening Week matchup!
California Bears (Booyahz) 10
Tssajos 3
The Bears were led to victory by great hitting by Prince Fielder and solid pitching with Chad Billingsley striking out 11 batters for the Bears in their franchise debut!
Championship 11 (Krams)
Aggies 2
Led by a smoking hot start from Evan Longoria Championship delivered the beatdown of the week in knocking the snot out of the Aggies. What a way to make a franchise debut. Championship now breaks from the gate in 1st place in the Bay Area Bashers League!
What an exciting opening week as all the new $25 Dime Club members making their franchise debuts came away with impressive wins. This week things will get a little tougher as the Fireballs will clash with the league champs Green Smokers. Championship will play the always tough Str8ballin Onusuckas. The Crushers will play another powerhouse in the Homerun Kingz. The Bears will have another chance at a beatdown when they take on the league patsy in the Aggies.
Stay tune baseball fans. We're just getting started for another great season of baseball!

I find this time of year the best pick's are generally over in baseball. The pitcher's are still getting loose and the hitter's are ahead of them. But come mid-May, the pitcher's have caught up to the hitter's and it get harder to pick. Anyway, good luck to all & I hope someone catche's the 25 win mark sometime soon.

Thanks Blackie for stopping by and we certainly hope that you post more often. Your insight is more than welcomed. It's also good to see our Canadian friends becoming $25 Dime Club Members.

The term $25 Dime was coined by one of our early members Swami1. He stops in from time to time. A dime represents $1000 bet in handicapping talk. Our name represents 2 things actually the first goal of winning 21 games in a row and winning $25K but also the number represents the number of wins you need to win the big money $100K- 25 Wins! Hence the name $25 Dime Club with the double meaning.

This is one of our older debates here in the $25 Dime Club. I and a few others think that they do limit the games as you streaks get longer. I have had private chats with a few high streak members and some of them think the choices become limited as compared to when the streak was lower. However in all fairness the other side of the coin is that there are people that say that isn't the case and that the software needed to run such an operation is way too expensive.
The other side including myself counter that argument with the fact that if you open up several windows you will see different games in most cases. The debate then becomes are those changes specifically for your IP address or do they have some rotating system that they use. We know that they will take games out based on too high of a consensus one or the other but as most of us have experienced if you just open up another window and wait, in some cases those games will appear back on your screen. We have had computer geeks explain how this would be a nightmare to program and yet the evidence points to some sort rotating of the games based on streaks. One thing both sides agree on. The mods aren't going to make it easy for us to win the money that's for sure.

anyway covers e-mail 'explained' in terms you predicted
, took detroit for #1 today & small on TO in contest. Taking for most 'til is well started &Thanks T99 for the support. When I emailed them they tried the same song and dance but I told them I'm just asking for consistency that's all. Everybody should be held to the same standard and just because the mods like a particular style woman shouldn't be an excuse to let that stand while coming down hard on me repeatedly for something that wasn't no where near that racy. We have to stay vigilant in this world.

Look for my Yankees to cream the Orioles today. In years past the Orioles have given the Yankees problems except in September. Since Buck Showalter has taken over he has instilled a new hate in Baltimore for the Yankees and the Red Sox. Bad move as they now have the Yankees attention and we have won 18 out of the last 23 games against this hapless bunch. Art of War-All Warfare is based on deception. It would have been better for Showalter to keep his mouth shut and become a surprise like Tampa did a few years back but that's not Showalter's style. With another losing season on the horizon the smart money says Bucky boy wont be in Baltimore for Opening Day in 2013. His act wears thin quick where ever he goes.

be careful with the Yanks tonight. They will lose 60-70 games this year and most of them will be on SFTC. Chen is supposed to be a good pitcher and Garcia isn't fit to be a Yankee.
