Sanford Scandal Killing Our Fantasy Baseball Team
Our founding editor’s fantasy baseball team has plummeted from playoff contention to “Nowheresville” in the two weeks since S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford’s sex scandal broke, prompting an unusual demand for a gubernatorial apology.
Specifically, Sic Willie is insisting that Gov. Sanford formally apologize to Jair Jurrjens (above) and the rest of his FITS Fartknockers’ fantasy baseball team for inducing another mid-season collapse.
“I could give a rat’s ass about him apologizing to his family, staff and the people of South Carolina,” Sic said. “He needs to officially apologize to my fantasy baseball team for distracting me from my managerial duties during a critical stretch of the season.”
So … is Sanford going to “play ball?”
The governor’s spokesman, Joel Sawyer, declined to comment.
Meanwhile, one of Sic’s fellow fantasy owners told ESPN’s Erin Andrews that Sic needed to “stop irrationally blaming others” for the collapse of his fantasy team.
“He drafted a sh*tty team,” Sen. Other told Andrews. “That’s not the governor’s fault.”

We know this is hard for your to admit, but face it: You haven’t been above sixth place in a month and a half. My original assessment stands.
Tough love, baby. Tough love.
Oh…and the Fusion Blows.
