A lot of talk has been made about the Fantasy Baseball Overlord causing all of these injuries this year. What people haven't mentioned as much is the why. FBO was born in a small Jamaican village outside of Kingston. His family was wealthy from manufacturing fertilizer, though this came with a severe downside -- the smell of manure. Knowing how cruel kids can be, it's no surprise they would pick on FBO. The school jocks, specifically the baseball players were the worst. Constantly mocking his ever-present stench, they nicknamed him Fecal Body Odor, or FBO for short. It got so bad that teachers and adults started calling him FBO. Eventually, people called him FBO without even knowing what it stood for. Rather than trying to shake the nickname, FBO decided to have it empower him. First, he tried to get into banking, thinking he could convince people it stood for Fixed Buyout. Then he got an internship with the Field Botanists of Ontario. Neither worked for him, but he did have some knowledge of voodoo from his Jamaican aunt and always harbored hate for baseball players, so Fantasy Baseball Overlord - or FBO, for short, was born. With that said, Adam Wainwright went for an MRI on his elbow and the FBO said, "Eat it, Wainwright!" The Cards are saying his UCL is fine and it's just tennis elbow. Hopefully this isn't game, set, match for him. He received a cortisone shot, and there's no word yet on a DL stint. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
