It's Fantasy Time!

So, it's that time of year again. Fantasy baseball has started back up and the real season is only a week away. I check my fantasy team at least 5 times a day, but there is nothing to check being the season has yet to start. This has sparked an idea. What are the perils of fantasy baseball?

There is only one. Your significant other will constantly get pissed b/c instead of spending time with her, or paying attention to her while together, you are checking stats, probable lineups, and injury reports. I actually think this "peril" turns into a positive because you actually spend less time (mentally) with said significant other. I can be sitting watching tv with a girlfriend and she'll be blabbering away and unbeknown to me an hour has gone by with me somewhat paying attention to her ramblings. It's a beautiful thing. This may cause some fights however, but a nice flower or dinner usually does the trick.

Here are other potential perils that are actually positives:

-Less time being productive at work (positive is self explanatory)
-Incessantly debating over who you should start or sit (Once you figure it out and you are successful, few things are more joyful)
-Less time being active (Who like to run anyways? Grab your laptop, a beer, some pizza and your day is set)
-Stay in on weekends to figure out lineups (See above, you'll never have a shitty night out ever again)

There are probably others or better ones but I have to go see who's on waivers.
