2010 TDMMC Fantasy Baseball

[Sunstroke]

Thanks to all who played TDMMC Fantasy Baseball this season...it was competitive as hell, from "the Ringer" (George) to the "guy who came out of nowhere" (Brian) to the "guy who always says he'll suck, but always makes the playoffs" (Lil_B)...all the way down the line.

As always, if you were in it this season, you'll have first shot at a squad next season.
("Service equals Citizenship!")

For anyone who might give a shit<g>, my Bubba's House team on the ESPN overall leaderboard finished the season at #5 overall. I held the 99 point score (curse you, ryan dempster for killing my dreams of a perfect 100), but the problem with blowing out a group of random strangers like I did in that league is that many fantasy GMs when getting blown out early will simply give up and mail it in on the season. That league's 65% league rating was the lowest among all my leagues...and became Bubba's anchor. Still, #5 overall isn't shabby, and means I've notched a top-10 overall finish in back to back baseball seasons (and the football and basketball seasons in between). Sure would like to actually "win" one though...

Game on!

I've been in JUST get this over with already mode since about mid June....

I'm feelin' ya, brother...I was ready for fantasy baseball to be done as well. It'll be a nice break from daily roster management until basketball season starts.

Congrats on knocking off George.  Hope Hanley and Nick Marakakis gave you more production than A-Rod and Trevor Hoffman (and whatever other bum you gave me that I don't remember right now - Fernando Rodney?)

[Sunstroke]

You know as well as I do that Hanley and Markakis both had really down seasons, right? Heck, Markakis flirted with the waiver wire all season.

But, as usual...the person I make an early season trade with ended up in the playoffs. It happens that way almost every single time.

Yes, Here,Here....Congrats to the almighty Stroke! May we kiss your ring?

I'm a good GM...Shitty manager.....

I did kinda follow Markakis just to make sure you were as miserable with him as I was, I ended up cutting both of the bums you traded to me.  I gotta say, though, I was happy to have Tulo over Hanley and A-Rod helped my team.  I think that trade worked out well for me.

[Sunstroke]

I think it did as well...A-Rod didn't have that bad of a season at all.

The first trade definitely helped ya...A-Rod + Granderson for Hanley.  The second trade, Markakis and LaRoche for Hoffman and Kendry Morales...looks like a lose-lose wash to me.

People should trade with me more often<g>...it usually ends up helping them more than it does me.

^^ It wasn't Kendry Morales, it was Franklin Morales.  It was 2 closers for Markakis, in my mind.  I forgot LaRoche was even involved.

Of course I put up with Granderson for 10 weeks while he sucked and the minute I cut him, he started hitting.

[Sunstroke]

You're right...I was thinking Franklin, but typed Kendry.
