Sludge Fantasy BB League 2013

[Funnelhead]

Well, FUCK!

OK so now that is out of my system, Congrats to the B King in securing that 8 slot (and I guess the rest of you playoff dicks, too). The Crappers made a push but it wasn't enough. Personally I blame PKOS for a crap week against the king but that would make me seem small, when actually, I'm kinda high.

Time to turn to sludge football but The Crappers will be back.

VIVA LOS CRAPPERS!

- yer bud, crud

Well you ended up putting up a fight and tying me. It's alright though, because I've been blaming PKOS for everything too....for years now actually.

It couldn't have been more epic that that's who I've got in the first round either.

REVENGE.

[itwalksboyfriend]

Love me some hot ballers.

[killeverything]

Son of a!!!!!! Seattle announced as a precautionary measure that they're pushing back Hernandez's next start from Sunday to Wednesday.

Don't get me wrong be cautious with the King and all that, but I've got him on my roster and am currently battling PKOS in round one. I need the Ks, QS and ERA. Cause me beating Pat is like Luke beating Vader, Machado saying something stupid or the fall of Al-Queda. In other words it has to happen, because that's what's right in the world.

As it stands now, 3 of the top 4 seeds may fall.

The fantasy gods are against me today. First, the NY Jets (or TB Bucs really) fuck me over in Survivor football.

Then, then a guy named Charlie Morton fucks my ERA and WHIP, the Giants bullpen blows a gem of a game for Madison Burmgarner, and a reliever gets a win for my opponent. DESPITE all that, I'm clinging to a 6-5 lead when Homer Bailey gives up a homer in the 7th to further hurt my ERA, and likely cost me another W.

Me thinks my kick ass season is over. Will see in the next hour or so...

FML!

[killeverything]

I'm out too.

Plan for next year.

REVENGE.

You got screwed. Did you happen to look before the night game if it would have been to your benefit to sit Bailey. Were you leading before that game?

No, I wasn't. I needed Bailey's Ks, to just beat you in that category, and his one run over 6 innings leapfrogged me ahead of you in ERA. Then, when he gave up the solo shot in the 7th, that gave the category back to you.

Everything just went wrong. Even if the Cubs don't blow the save, then you don't get the save with Henderson, that category ends in a tie, and I win the tiebreaker.

Its an honorable defeat though. You made some smart pick-ups during the week (Kluber), didn't stream, and won fair and square.

Well played. Congrats!

[tin00can]

The Butt Weenies, much like my Angels, are dead. The only underdog team in the first round to actually lose. Meh.

[McGuirk]

Bring it on!

[demolition23]

In a desperate desire to cling to second, I beat Chip Chipperson down into seventh, thus securing a repeat of last week's match-up. Now, watch it come back to haunt me!

Quoting myself for truth. Damn it.

And here ends my title reign - easily beat in the end. Well done to everyone still playing meaningful games.

[WhiteHouseSubsAC]

My pitching sure isn't playing meaningfully of late.

[tin00can]

I always thought you were more of a catcher.

[itwalksboyfriend]

My pitching sure isn't playing meaningfully of late.

Why don't you come over and practice?

I'll be your catcher. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

Trust me. You'll love it.

[killeverything]

You think that sucks? I've got Seattle resting the King ( which I agree with, but it fucks my fantasy team ), I didn't get the Buchholz DL adjustment in time so I missed his start, and my hot hitters have cooled off. So unless Lackey and Latos throw like.....well the King. I'm gonna be playing fantasy golf soon.

Fuck everybody.

[Blumpkin King]

Big day vs. Pats King Of Steaks. Last day of baseball and football this week. Hoping to best him in both.

[WhiteHouseSubsAC]

Yeah man, I think you got me in both. Nice work and Killeverything will be extremely jealous.

[WOLF]

It's lookig like the 7 and 8 seeds will meet in the final. Two teams a COMBINED three games over .500 this season.

Well played, but maybe we should have looked at the playoff format, as discussed earlier in the thread.

It's not something that should be changed so close to the playoffs. I'm not sure what automatic first-round byes would have done. MLB is playing, so should the fantasy teams, IMO.

I for sure benefited by 8 teams. When I took over the league just before we drafted I left the settings as they had been set up by the original commish. I agree that 8 of 12 is to many for playoffs, but I was not going to change it once the season started. No one mentioned it before we started. I am happy to take a poll next year and see what people want to do. It was a good season and whoever wins did it fair and square.

[WOLF]

I agree it shouldn't have been changed in season. Not sure you even can do that in a Yahoo league.

Next year we should see the # of teams we have, and do a quick vote on playoff format prior to the draft.

No biggie; this isn't for cash. Just Sludge braggin' rights...

[Blumpkin King]

No biggie; this isn't for cash. Just Sludge braggin' rights...

Bragging rights on sludge are bigger than cash.

well maybe not.

I'm not even a part-time poster here anymore, so I think I'll take the cash.

Yeah, as #2 for most of the season, I guess I'm the other team that really lost out for not having a bye... But shit, I could just have easily wound up lucky #7, and yeah, while it's a shame we didn't notice sooner, it's not kosher to change mid-season. Easily remembered for next year though.

I always figure a teams/play-off teams ratio rule of thumb is:

8/4
10/4
12/6
14/6
16/8

[Blumpkin King]

Chip, sure have made a lot of moves this week. I may have to pick up players to stop your plan.

[WhiteHouseSubsAC]

Man, leave some pitchers for the rest of us to stream guys!

[WOLF]

This is why there should also be a maximum moves per week rule. Say three transaction per week, or something.

I was not streaming until this guy decided he needed 8 new pitchers in one week. Next year 3 per week max moves. This was fucking dumb. I picked up all these guys so he could not grab more, but he did.

It's a way to win, but not the right way in my opinion. I'll probably play the one guy I already had that was slated to start. If I win I did it right. If not, oh well. Or maybe I'll steam like him. He did not seem to care when I mentioned it on the league message board. If I play all those pitchers I could probably beat him at wins and grab that point.

[killeverything]

Maybe I should start streaming too. Once playoffs started my entire team went cold. Was gonna get a save from Kimbrel, but the Cubs....the fucking Cubs rallied back ( David Cross was in Wrigley and did the "Take Me Out To The Ballpark", that was cool I guess ). I've finally got the King back, but alas it's too late.

I usually blame PKOS for everything, but I fucking hate you all now.

REVENGE.

Welcome to last year's discussion.
Unfortunately, we forgot to change the settings. Totally agree there should be a max moves per week next time though, along with playoffs more attuned to the size of the league.

Someone bump this next March!
