Either way I'm happy.

or

. I didn't want to finish less than 2nd after such a great season. Of course #1 would be preferable.

Sparky Anderson (A legendary Baseball Manager) once said that there was no pressure once you got in the World Series. The Pressure was in the Championship series before it.
I've found that to be mostly true in fantasy playoffs too. The pressure round was the last one. Let's have some fun.

OK...so my football team suxxx! I don't wanna talk about it!

Darth, it was destiny that we should meet again in the final. I honestly didn't expect to be here at the start of the year, I was just hoping to make the playoffs considering my baseball experience. But now I'm here I want it all! Mwaaahahaha

So anyway, good luck, may the best team win, but you have proved to be the best over the course of the season. I'm just trying to steal a little glory from you.

Micro - good match. i was scared of your team, you came home strong in the 2nd half of the season. you should be proud of where you finished the season. Don't ever sacrifice playing fantasy for work commitments, its good to have you in any league.

Very kind words. Thank you.

In associated news, I am playing for the title in my other league, my bats are unstoppable but my pitching is only average and it is also a 1/2 matchup.

I'm slowly organizing/catching up on my workload, hoping to play Fantasy bball and Hockey, most definitely hockey at the very least.

11R, 5HR and 12RBI in 1 day?? WTF????? Talk about coming good at the right time!! 2 guys with multiple HR... how am i supposed to respond to that? the batting cat's are already over after 1 day...

looks like my pitchers will have to shoulder the load once more...

My team is explosive like that. I knew they were due. I also had a gut feeling that sitting Howard last week was enough and that he was going to come out of his slump in a big way and I'd better play him. Plus I hate benching my Phillies.
But your batters did well too. There is a long way to go and nothing is even close to over. Just a really nice start for my batters.

I had a pitching gem by Gallardo, but Escobar was horrible, and it's going to take my team a long while to recover from that, if I can at all. But if your team pitches anywhere near the way it did against Roscoe last week, I can forget about winning those categories.

championship week has been a bit of a dud so far. apart from your mauling on monday the contest has been pretty pathetic. our guys aren't doing a lot right.

i went and picked up swisher for this week cos he was on a hot streak but then he goes and gets suspended til saturday! doh!

I just realised that the championship week goes for 2 weeks! 17-30 sep. whats with that?

i like it though. a chance to catch up.

I think the score looks lopsided but every category is very close.
Yeah, I realized it was two weeks long yesterday. I was thinking it was "only" ten days.

We've been playing poorly overall.

I figure the only way i can win now is to employ strategy. hence my goal this week is to win the 5 pitching categories and win SB. if i do that i should win 6-5, despite being pummelled in the batting categories.

it was how i beat roscoe. not that i was trying to do that mind you. i picked up a couple of guys i've never heard of but they have been pinching a lot of bases lately. now i just need my pitchers to come through for me again.

wagner's 18 ERA last night did not help.

I've been thinking exactly the same thing almost since we began play. I need to get stolen bases or saves. I think you'll end up with most of the pitching categories before it's done. Seems like I replaced almost my entire pitching staff from a month ago due to injuries and stuff. Oh well.

The score was lopsided going into today, but I have no doubt there are enough close categories that you can easily win. Plus whoever takes era wins the tiebreaker...so yeah, it's 9-2...but feels like 6-5 to me. If someone gets lucky and gets a complete game it would be huge. This entire series could be decided by a stolen base or a save. Crazy.

Thank you Oliver Perez for single-handedly screwing my chances. May the knowledge that you blew the championship hang over your head for the rest of your life.
