WELCOME TO CHINSTRAP NINJAS
The ascent to fantasy nirvana -- the collision of postseason-run fantasy baseball and fantasy football draft prep -- has begun. Rest assured that we're not tossing baseball over the rail to float off into the murky waters of oblivion, while we play with the new hotness. For us, it's football, baseball, Nirvana.

Letter from the editors 1.31.09: We give thanks

This month, January, is a virtual dead zone for fantasy sports. Most people don’t care about fantasy baseball yet and only the hardcore fantasy footballers are still scouring the Web for 2010 information with the season eight months away.

He’s not available in any of the leagues I play in. But, then again, we’re good fantasy players. We’re Ninjas. I’m not sure where these leagues are, but I [...]

Pay attention! Your fantasy baseball halftime speech

MEMO To: All members of the Ninja Army From: ep Subject: We don’t quit at halftime I request your audience today to remind you that the fantasy baseball season is very near its midpoint.

Ninja notes: The international edition [FBB]

Aroldis Chapman is expected to be next. According to a report from ESPN the Magazine, [...]
