"And Sugar, we're going down swinging" -- The fantasy baseball playoff FallOutBoy

I won. Ha ha.

Just a little friendly gloating. As you may recall from yesterday, I was locked in an immortal struggle in the small head-to-head fantasy baseball league I'm in with my buddies. You may also note that things looked dark around 2:30pm on Sunday. Well, I won. Tied, really, but that's a win anyways as we've discussed:


Turns out his leaving out Arroyo was a good move. But had I been watching more carefully, I'd have known to replace Chipper Jones with Chone Figgins, get a 5th stolen base, and get the 5-5-2 tie anyways. That's neither here nor there, of course: differing circumstances are just that...the circumstances that never happened.

Naturally, he's a little choked: he was beating me the entire week, beat me in the regular season, and actually never fell behind at any given point of the race. Or, as he says:

JOOOOOREEYYY. I tie the [censored -ed] in our match, but have a better record during the regular season and the league says he beats me??!?? Who's the commissioner and what's he going to do about this injustice??

FIXED, FIIIIIIXED, I TELL YOU.
The Commissioner, of course, is me. BWA HA HA!


My Edmonton Separatists (see this post from yesterday) also won their playoff match yesterday, falling to 5-4-1, but that's good enough to win. (Heck, if 6-6-0 is a win, so is 5-4-1).

The Alberta Mariners (again, check yesterday's post) won in the Consolidation Round's semifinals, a nice 6-3-1 victory that bumps me into at least "third place" (9th place).
