This week's slate of two start pitchers reminds me of fire-crotched former hottie and child star Lindsey Lohan. So let's examine the parallels. No, they don't have whiney coked up fathers or unstable attention whore mothers who may or may not be as equally coked up. No, they don't post pictures to their Instagram accounts where they fail miserably at "breaking the internet". Well, they may do all these things, but not to my knowledge. Then again, my knowledge consists of Fantasy soccer, baseball, and Fernando Tatis MS paint artwork. Oh you are unfamiliar with Tatis's work? Click here and check her out. Seriously, I have five Tatis' on my office walls at work. People often ask if those are blown up drawings by my four-year-old son. When I inform them that are in fact cherished works of computer generated art by a former fringe major leaguer, they typically stop extending invitations to lunch, but no matter, I like eating alone. Where were we? Oh yeah! Lindsey Lohan and two-start pitchers! So much like Lindsey Lohan's career and looks the options start strong, but are very brief and ummmm....well, drop off dramatically. In the first two weeks we've been blessed with a plethora of sexy names and strong performers to double up on in our head to head and weekly leagues. This week not so moooch! (Last sentence said with bad Italian accent) I even struggle to rank anyone in the top tier. I love Jake Arrieta and you can make the case that he is matchup proof at this point but it's two road starts. The first against a good offense and the second against an above average offense at a hitter's park. I guess he's sort of like Mean Girls Lindsey. She's certainly hot and it's an entertaining flick but A. Do you look like a creep for drooling over a teenager? and B. do you share with your bros that you were watching Mean Girls on TBS for the fourth time? (Shawshank Redemption it is not my friends.) That just means we need to dig a little deeper and appreciate each tier for what it is. Sort of like Lindsey's wild coked out knife play phase, her lesbian phase, her doing anything for money including nude pictorials phase. We just need to avoid her methed out shell of herself phase. Those ladies and gentleman are your tiers. Good luck may your Li-Lo's be kind.
