I think I'm in trouble. My team has been sliding for the last month. My best player, Jose Reyes, is 2 for 19 this week with 0 SB.

Yeah, stupid Reyes used up his quota by getting like 7 against me! LOL

Well...


Roscoe knocked off Bezeach.

One last game in progress.

Bill, looks like you need 3 hits to make it 5-5 (because I think you win the tiebreaker) and 4 hits to win it outright... your poor kid got ripped off. They benched two of his guys today.

I've got to imagine you'll get those hits. Or a home run helps you too.

Give the kid a hug before bed tonight. Either way it goes he fought the old man like a Spartan and played well in his initial fantasy campaign.

Tiebreaker is lowest ERA, so I lose on that one.

To win, I need either a HR OR a hit and a stolen base. The SB isn't too likely with Victor Martinez and Garrett Anderson. I'll have to beg for the HR.

It is? How did you learn that????

I've been checking for all the sports and never see it.

There is a little link in the top right corner of the screen called Rules. A web page will come up and then you click on Tiebreaker. I know it's not very intuitive, but I managed to figure it out with a little luck....

LOL. Thanks. I honestly didn't know where to look.

Well, I guess it was academic anyhow. Congratulations to your son. I guess now I gotta figure out a way to beat him. Does the kid take bribes?

I'm sure you'll do okay without bribes. Perhaps I should have stooped to something like that.

Geez Bill. One day and your kid is already talking junk. He must be puffing out his chest knocking off his old man.

Well, my era dropped from 40. But I think your kid has a great shot at the "upset". Although he's got some cajones talking smack after only one day AND while he's losing...I like that.

Honestly, if I lose...sure it's a let down, but I had a great time all year. I've been on the other end of it, so no sour grapes if I get knocked off. You gotta play all the way to the finish. If someone else gets hot in the playoffs...all the power to them.

I really was hoping for at least 2nd place so I'd like to make it through this round. If not, I'll try to grab the third place trophy.

Darth, I told my son that you were hoping to play him because you naturally feared me. He took that to heart and, of course, smack talk was unavoidable at that point.

Honestly, I don't know why...but I had a very bad feeling you were going to knock me off. I felt it all year and you were the one team I didn't want to meet...but maybe in a sense you are going to knock me off...by letting your kid get through to me!
