I've now won my league 2 out of the 3 years I've been playing fantasy baseball. :smugdog:

It's because everyone else is really bad, not because I'm good at all

I think I've said this before, but years ago I had the championship come down to literally the last pitch of the season. I trailed my opponent in K's and Saves. I had the closer going in the Sunday night game (don't remember who it was now), and the closer struck out the last batter of the game (and season) to get the save and pull me ahead.

Same, Rex Brothers vs. Skip Schumaker. I got 400 dollars on him striking out.

Finished in 2nd on my league, which I think is pretty good for the first time playing fantasy baseball and first time ever dealing with an auction draft. I also inherited this team and probably didn't make the best keeper choices prior to the draft.

Whatever, there's always next season!

Auction drafts are so much loving fun, and really the only reason I'd ever play a redraft.

I'd never done them in the football leagues I had played previously, so it was a very new experience. I think I did OK, and honestly I think it really is the only way to handle baseball drafts having done it now.

Auction drafts are the best.

Finished 2nd for my highest finish ever, a good way to go out in my farewell season. There was no way to take out the guy who managed to draft Lester, MadBum, and Kershaw in the Year Of Terrible Pitching.

Is anyone else doing the Gold/Silver/Bronze/Paper cups on Yahoo? I got an entry into silver from a couple 3/4 finishes in leagues.

I am in the gold for winning my league. I advanced automatically because only 27k people signed up. Gotta finish in the top 2.7k then top 100 to win money. Not counting on that but it would be cool. Any advice for Sunday?

I started David Price but advanced anyway because of low turnout I guess. I'm going to stack Red Sox because gently caress it and Tomlin was bad toward the end of the season.

My decision is "gently caress pitching."

I got a free silver entry from getting second in two of my leagues. I reserved a spot and then promptly forgot about it. Oops.

That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it

I was playing Harvest Moon 64 with this kid who lived on my street and my cows were not doing well and I got so raged up and frustrated that my eyes welled up with tears and my friend was like are you crying dude. Are you crying because of the cows. I didn't understand the feeding mechanic.
This was my first year playing fantasy baseball, it was incredibly fun. What the hell am I going to do the next 6 months. When do mock drafts start up?
