2015 Roster Freak Out - Week 8

The World Series is underway and we've already had an epic 14-inning Game 1 to start it off. MLB's finale features an interesting match-up of power pitching (Mets) against contact hitting (Royals). No team in baseball threw more pitches 95+ mph than the Mets (Royals are #2), but the Royals have been one of the historically best contact hitting teams of all-time. I'm looking forward to a tightly contested championship.

One of the Mets flamethrowers, Jacob deGrom, is slated to start tonight, and you're going to want to tune in. Not just because he's one of the best pitchers in the game, but because he has stated that he will cut his hair after the World Series is over, and this may be the last time you get to see him looking like a Spaldawg doppelgänger.

That's right, the Spaldawg of MLB is going to cut his mane and look a lot different at spring training next year, but I'm hoping he'll grow it out over each season and just get an annual haircut like our honorable commish.


The RFO is now 2-5 and has almost no chance of "making the playoffs" like last year, but it will soldier on with the mediocre players it's got. Just like the Houston Texans.

This week the theme is of course Halloween. Enjoy these scary selections.

QB: Alex Smurf - Brits are going to be treated to another terribly boring game and give a hard pass on expansion.
WR: Roddy Blight - If Hanky Pankerson can't play, he's going to get more looks.
RB: Charles Grims - Steady touches and Bucs will likely play from behind.
TE: Coby Screamer - Anybody but Jared Rook!
W/T: Kenny Chills - Dolphins will have to take to the air to beat Pats.
W/R: Jermaine Hearse - He's not a good play, but I'm not going to pass up using his name for Halloween.
W/R: Deadman Bailey - Super sleeper entirely based on this name.
K: Blair Witch - Shaky cam meets shaky roster choice.
DEF: Tennessee Frightens - Houston's so bad. But so is Tennessee.

QB: Alex Smurf - 27.6 points
