Now that we’re into week 5 of the NFL season and baseball is *ahem* a spectator sport at this point, here is an update on the Pitchers Hit Eighth Fantasy Football League to date: CARDINALS DIVISION TEAM W L T PCT GB Boom Boom Pow Boom Boom Pow 4 1 0 .800 — Bros Before […]
The suggestion via Twitter to start up a blogger-based fantasy football league quickly turned into a PH8 loyal follower league – which is even better! So far, the following folks are on the list for a team: @dmbfan81, @jhadleyconrad, @psg723, @myersli, @MOHSBaseball, @BJRains, @LickThatPujols, @hitman6498, @btaylor1978, @jeffgab, @sarge16, @benariweixlmann, @PitchersHit8th, @aprfool79 Those on the list, […]
