You can hear Jason weekly on many of the Sirius/XM Fantasy channel offerings throughout the season as well as on the Towers of Power Fantasy Hour Podcast at Baseball Prospectus.

Welcome to the meeting of the I Hate Wins As a Fantasy Category Club. My name is Jason and I will be chairing our discussion today. Raise your hand if you own Cliff Lee in a league this season? We're all in this suffering together so don't be shy. There you go. Now 11 starts into the season and he has as many wins as you and I do this season despit a 3.48 ERA, a 1.12 WHIP, and a 8.5 K/9IP. He has had four straight seasons of double-digit wins and has been a consistent four-category producer but entered Friday's start against the Rays still looking for his first win. Have hope – the Rays' offense is not very good these days as Evan Longoria is still out and Matt Joyce is out as well meaning the team will be Ben Zobrist, seven struggling hitters, and James Shields. The circumstances are perfect for a win – and I will even be there in attendance for the game and I am 0-for my last-5 in seeing the Rays attempt to win a game. These are the sacrifices that I make for this club.
