Things Cheaper Than FanGraphs+
Over at the dad’s house, FanGraphs+ 2012 has been being touted as a “steal” or “deal”. The subscription includes over 1,100 player profiles written by the FanGraphs and RotoGraphs contributors, 11 in depth fantasy-themed articles — including the second annual Cistulli-Sarris faceoff, Mike Trout vs. Bryce Harper, and my new best friend “Ottoneu Strategies for Every Setting.” Oh, and it also includes 2-3 weekly articles written by FanGraphs staff for ESPN throughout this year, AND the FanGraphs+ archives from the last two years. Whew. That’s all for $4.99, which may lead you to believe that you would be hard pressed to find anything so awesome for such a small price tag. You’d be believing wrong.

what do we think the over/under is for total # of ‘Baseball Party Hats’ sold will be?
I personally have purchased 23 of them.
That rock is pretty sweet
I agree.
“Queer Eye for the Red Sox”? That sounds like the greatest television program ever filled.
Spinoff idea: “Queer Eye for the Miami Marlins.” Carlos Zambrano and LoMo get makeovers.

my friend makes that kenny powers pattern! good choice ;)
Great as my distaste for the Astros is, the urinal sticker seems a bit much. funny though.
Yeah, to be honest all of the _____ sucks stickers are under 5 bucks but the Astros one seemed like the most unnecessarily cruel (=hilarious) right now, all things considered.
Bummer! I just blew my ferret hat budget on Fangraphs+!
The amazon reviews for those things are really something
That rock looks suspiciously like Wisconsin.
Fangraphs sold out.
