Was out of town for the weekend, limited internet access, didn't realize Betts was back. Benched a 3 HR game. Due to another similar error earlier this year I'm pretty sure I benched ANOTHER one of his multi-HR games, meaning due to two days I've missed out on 20% of his homers, lol.

i'm going to jinx Will right now and prematurely congratulate him on his eminent victory this year.

how dare you :P

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

Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 13 September 2016 20:13 (seven years ago) link

seriously tho, congrats. you killed it this year.

Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 13 September 2016 20:15 (seven years ago) link

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

a simba man (Will M.), Tuesday, 13 September 2016 20:29 (seven years ago) link

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 1st
2015: 3rd, for a long while was 1st
2014: 4th, was maybe briefly 1st
2013: 3rd, was 1st for half the year
2008: 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

a simba man (Will M.), Wednesday, 14 September 2016 14:29 (seven years ago) link

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.

Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 14 September 2016 15:11 (seven years ago) link

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

Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 14 September 2016 15:20 (seven years ago) link

THERMO YOU JINXING SON OF A FUCK I'M ONLY UP 8 POINTS NOW

I BETTER NOT LOSE

a simba man (Will M.), Wednesday, 21 September 2016 15:27 (seven years ago) link

having a hard time dropping Jose Fernandez. i shoulda done it last night... but, fuck. i can't believe he's gone.

Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 26 September 2016 13:44 (seven years ago) link

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.

a simba man (Will M.), Tuesday, 27 September 2016 20:19 (seven years ago) link

i could kiss you!

Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 27 September 2016 22:43 (seven years ago) link

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

it was a lot more of a nail biter than i expected. now that i have won one i can finally CHILL (lol jk never)

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

four months pass...

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

also thank you for reminding me about this.

Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 6 February 2017 17:47 (seven years ago) link

cool. i sent you a webmail, let me know if that doesn't work
