Walrus from FFZ joined our league and finished in 2nd, and Fist had a very forgettable season not winning a match until week 16... He may not have been there for our draft... excuses excuses

congrats to Guynemer and Imran on their play off skunks

and you aren't seeing double - Blazin Berz won both playoffs yay

[snoopy369]

Auction results are interesting when you factor in the H2H results... 1,5,4,t2,6,t2,7,8 ... my team just got blown out an awful lot, during a stretch where a lot of my players were injured (around the all-star break). Sigh. A classic example of a very good on paper team just collapsing under its own weight...

The regular draft had a much more balanced result, with the top 4 teams finishing in the top 4, and my team again being the significant mover - this time up, to 8th from t11th [last!], largely due to a *lack* of injuries.

[Ming]

You might want to PM Imran to update the HOF

[Imran Siddiqui]

Already have. However, we don't update the Hall of Fame until the playoffs are over, so we have a playoff winner and a regular season winner in one post.

[Ming]

Just posted the note because somebody sent me a PM expecting me to do it

[OzzyKP]

Damn, its over already?

And 8th place was the cut off for the playoffs? Argh. I missed it by half a game?!

Worse yet, if I had ONE more run last week I might have made it in. Grr.

[snoopy369]

No, fourth place was the cutoff. 8th was the cutoff for the consolation brackets.

[OzzyKP]

I'd happily take a consolation bracket slot.

Btw, predictions:

Berz:
1. EPW
2. Calamitous Intent (Guy)
3. Dwarf Tossers (Slow)
4. Red Barons (Snoopy)
5. Next Big Thing (EmpFab)
6. Fist Sox (Fist)
7. Lebron James DH (JDD)
8. Siddiqui Slammers (Imran)
9. Ozzy's Sluggers (Ozzy)
10. Hobgoblins (Stuie)
11. Blazin Berz (Berz)
12. Capybaras

Imran:
1) Stuie
2) EmpFab
3) Snoopy
4) Imran
4) Guy
6) EPW
7) JDD
8) Slow
9) Fist
10) Berz
11) Ozzy
12) Capybaras

EPW:
1. Teh Peeled Bananas (EPW)
2.Blazin' Berz (berezker)
3. Calamitous Intent(Guynemer)
4. The Red Barons(snoopy369)
5. Lebron James at DH(JD)
6.Dallas Dwarf Tossers(Slowwdhand)
7.City Hobgoblins(stuie)
8.Siddiqui Slammers(Imran)
9. Fist's Sox (Fistandantilus)
10.Next Big Thing(empfab)
11.Ozzy's Sluggers(Ozzy)
12.The Capybaras(Capybaras)


And then my list of whether people got good value for their picks:
1. Imran -476
2. EmpFab -280
3. Ozzy -196
4. Jdd -27
5. Snoop 11
6. Sloww 135
7. Fistand 222
8. EPW 314
9. Guy 356
10. Capy 441
11. Stuie 671
12. Berz 1039

Looks like most people agreed Berz had a bad draft, but with 82 moves during the season, obviously the draft mattered very little to his success.

[Berzerker]

I'm just amazed the Capybaras made it thru the season with a largely intact pitching staff, and a competitive one at that. I think we learned something by that, we dont really need an even number of people. With just a little effort from a commish to keep a team's line up active we could (smart) bapay a team and still have a decent league.

If you wanna wait for the playoffs Imran, thats fine. Or you could just edit in the play offs when they're done. dont matter either way, whatever is easiest...

[EPW]

My team collapsed in amazing fashion.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Berz, I'd like to just do it once for both leagues, so I'll put both in once the fantasy playoffs are concluded.

[Berzerker]

okay, I'll edit the playoff results into my op so you can just copy/paste it when we're done

[Imran Siddiqui]

Thanks for making my job easier.

[OzzyKP]

My team collapsed in amazing fashion.

[snoopy369]

Very close battle for the second finals spot in Daily ... 6-6 with only CHC-STL to play; a HR by Derrick Lee or Skip Schumacker could change the outcome either way, or a good K/9 result from Adam Wainwright could give Sparta BC the win; while Schumacker having a superior OBP outing with D Lee having a weak outing would swing it to the KittyKats.
ERA is the tiebreaker, by the way, so the KittyKats win if all things stay as they currently are.
