IT'S NOT LIKE YOU'RE SUDDENLY GOING TO DROP 13.5 POINTS OR ANYTHING! WHAT ARE THE ODDS??!?!!

seriously tho, congrats. you killed it this year.

i've lost in september before :/ hopefully i can keep it together tho. it'd take a pretty severe kick in all of my ratios to really fuck me at this point

dammit i'd have given it a better run if aj pollock wasn't crippled until a week ago (and then crippled again), and if my pitchers didn't have awful k/bb ratios (despite having high K rates.)

I was having a decent run before my SP's completely imploded in August. After a good first half I figured I had a good shot at a podium position, but the second half has been an all-time fantasy sports disaster for me. HOMERBAiLi crushed everyone this year.

My place every year:
2016: ???, for a while have been 1st2015: 3rd, for a long while was 1st2014: 4th, was maybe briefly 1st2013: 3rd, was 1st for half the year2008: 14th lol I don't remember this
The point is: I'm definitely not ready to celebrate, EVER, until it's over
Also every year I've traded solid keepers to win and failed. CarGo in 2013; Baez, Chris Davis, Craig Kimbrel 2014; i guess none in 2015 but yeah... Harper in 2016 better fucking buy me that pennant

i tried that two years ago – the keeper sale – and boy did it blow up in my face. this year it's worked out better, but not worked quite enough.
would be p sweet of would could see the standings plotted out over the season.

man. now i really wish i could look at historical standing for our league over the season. would have been fun to visualize that.

gonna sound dumb and tone-deaf but there is a "NA" slot you can use.
had the same feeling in my keeper league w/ oscar tavares couple years back.

Way to go Will – you mopped the floor with us! I got sort close and then it was a pretty big gap after that.
I feel like i should photoshop up a trophy for you or something. (but i'm lazy)
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 3 October 2016 13:53 (seven years ago) link

― a simba man (Will M.), Monday, 3 October 2016 19:04 (seven years ago) link
Congrats Will, you really mopped the floor with the field this year.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Monday, 3 October 2016 19:35 (seven years ago) link
is this happening again this year? would it be possible for me to play? i've been in a league the last couple of years but i don't really know anyone in it and it would be more fun to be competing against relative non-strangers.
― na (NA), Monday, 6 February 2017 17:40 (seven years ago) link
oh! yes it is happening again! send me your yahoo email addy and i will invite you when i restart the league in a few days. we'll figure out how to get you set-up with a new team when i create a new thread and find out if everyone is coming back.
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 6 February 2017 17:46 (seven years ago) link
