The Florida Marlins continue to underachieve and disappoint. Good timing for Cubs, who go into All Star Break on a high notes. Now that whispers for Dusty Baker’s job have lowered, I’m starting to hear calls for Jack McKeon to step down. Considering his age and fact that he has already accomplished what he set out to do (a World Series Title in 2003), he will probably step aside at end of year, or sooner.

With news that Toronto Ace Roy Halladay will be out for at least a month with a fractured tibia, coupled with fact that Red Sox and Yankees are both red hot, look for Blue Jays to consider becoming a seller towards trade deadline. I don’t see them holding a fire sale, but Miguel Batista and Ted Lilly could be had for right asking price

Fantasy Hockey is similar to other popular versions of Fantasy Sports. Players are chosen from real NHL players. A typical Fantasy Hockey team is made up of 2 centers, 2 left wings, 2 right wings, 4 defensemen, and 2 goalies. Two types of leagues are Head-to-Head, where owners play one on one games each week, and Rotisserie, where all owners are trying to win most amount of points, with no weekly competition.

Fantasy Sports online has grown into a huge business, generating over $100 million in revenue. Over 30 million Americans play fantasy sports. Each year number of internet leagues and websites grows substantially.
