Dear Rachel McAdams: Letter Fifty Five

Sunday May 3, 2009

Dear Rachel,

Have I ever told you that my fantasy baseball team is named after you? That's right, the Brighton Rachel McAdams are now in their 3rd or 4th season (I can't really remember). Your team isn't that great, but not that bad either. Traditionally, you have had strong starting pitching (Johan Santana has been on the roster each year) but shakey relief pitching and only so-so offense. So far, our offseason trade for Ian Kinsler and the late draft pick we spent on Travis Hafner have worked out. Drafting Geovany Soto and Conor Jackson have paid less dividends.

You probably don't know what fantasy baseball is. In fact, you might not even know what real baseball is, since you're Canadian. Canadians probably play cricket or something. Sure, you're dating an American, but it's Josh Lucas. He probably never takes you to baseball games because he's not man enough to like the game himself. I bet he just plays tennis or golf or something.

Sincerely,

Nick Punto
