Fantasy Notes: Starlin Castro Benched

What we need to remember is that this kid is just 20, and like many youngsters his age, he’s prone to mental errors like what happened Sunday. Good for Quade to have the balls to sit the kid down for a couple of games to let him refocus and owners in daily leagues will need to make an adjustment to their lineups.

To that end, the focus here is on single-season performance with no regard for keeper leagues.

Video Game Review: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

It’s so hit or miss that I quickly abandoned it and went with the analog stick, which isn’t ideal for throwback gaming. The result was that I simply didn’t bother attempting some of the moves I unlocked as I leveled up, instead opting to go with combos I knew were effective and consistently executable.
