[DemonGeminiX]

We might just set a record this week, RBP. :lol:

I got my ass beat! :dance2:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

2 more weeks until the playoffs start

[DemonGeminiX]

3. This week, next week, and the week after next. Then the playoffs start.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

And I have to play Dee this week :|

[DemonGeminiX]

That's ok. I have to play Cactus. I'm 0 - 2 against him so far and I'm on a losing streak.

:dance2:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I think it's because you broke your trend of daily roster changes :-k


:lol:

[DemonGeminiX]

:-k

I was considering that. I nearly dumped 4 players last night before the week was officially over, but I don't like any of the alternatives.

Maybe I should do one now, just for old time's sake.

[RBP]

*celebrates quietly*

[DemonGeminiX]

:lol:

You bastid.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I'm not saying anything until the playoffs start :sealed:

[DemonGeminiX]

Jinx!

Double Jinx!

[RBP]

something I said? :-k

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I'm not celebrating anything until the playoffs start :shhh:

[RBP]

I'm not celebrating anything until the playoffs start :shhh:

You got it locked up Lance! :giggle:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Anything can happen in the next 2 weeks

[RBP]

Nope. It's all you man!! :P

[DemonGeminiX]

I'm not celebrating anything until the playoffs start :shhh:

Triple Jinx!

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Triple Jinx!

Have you noticed that ever since you have been saying bad things are gonna happen to my team, that it's the opposite effect and that everything bad is happening to you now? :-k

[DemonGeminiX]

Quadruple Jinx!

[Teh One Who Knocks]

You're asking for it :nono:

[DemonGeminiX]

Quintuple Jinx!

[DemonGeminiX]

Christ, I lost again.

:lol:

Two weeks left and I'm dead last in my division.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I'm back down to 5th place :|

[deebakes]

sorry lance :(

[Teh One Who Knocks]

sorry lance :(

I made it back up last week :dance:


Final week of the regular season :banana:

[RBP]

Final week of the regular season :banana:

No it's not :slap:

The final week is the week of the 26th.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

No it's not :slap:

The final week is the week of the 26th.

:stfu:

This is the last week of the regular season :nono:

http://i.imgur.com/Udg8K.png

[RBP]

That makes no sense. :-k

[Teh One Who Knocks]

It's because you can't have fantasy playoffs once the real playoffs start because then every team isn't playing and most of your players would be useless ;)

[RBP]

you're useless :x

So how does it work then?

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Same way as the regular season...each round of the playoffs is one week, just like regular season match-ups :thumbsup:

[RBP]

Same way as the regular season...each round of the playoffs is one week, just like regular season match-ups :thumbsup:

well ok, but do we re-draft for the playoff teams?

[Teh One Who Knocks]

No, you use your same team :slap:

[RBP]

I sense sarcasm. :x

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Do the MLB teams re-draft before the playoffs? :-s


:shakehead:

[RBP]

Do the MLB teams re-draft before the playoffs? :-s


:shakehead:

Ok I am confused. You just got done saying the teams "as is" were useless in the playoffs then you tell me we use the same team.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

:facepalm:

If they fantasy league used the MLB playoffs as the leagues playoffs, only a fraction of the MLB teams would be playing because the regular season is over. And if players on your fantasy team didn't make the MLB playoffs, they would be useless to you.

[RBP]

Wait, so the fantasy league ends before the MLB playoffs start?

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Yes

[RBP]

Ohhhhhhhhh... that's what I wasn't getting. The last few weeks of the MLB season IS the fantasy playoffs.

Why didn't you just say that? :hand:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

:|

[DemonGeminiX]

Took him a page and a half.

:lol:

[RBP]

Took him a page and a half.

Lance was obfuscating. :hand:

Just because you can't make a clear point you turn to violence?

[DemonGeminiX]

He lashes out in frustration.

:lol:

Lasher-outer! :x

The only person it wasn't clear to was you :nono:

I'd swear I was trying to explain quantum physics :shakehead:

At the rate you're going, we'd be here for 50 years waiting for you to get to the point.

:nana:


see??? you still can't make a clear point. It wasn't clear to me so therefor it was unclear to all. :hand:

:-k

I dunno about all that, but then again, I did figure out the fantasy playoff situation back in the first couple of weeks. I suppose if I had needed Lance to explain it to me, I'd be in pretty bad shape too...

:dance:

:axe:

[DemonGeminiX]

Man, things really do get heated around playoff time.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

And he has the nerve to call me violent [-(

[Teh One Who Knocks]

So far Dee is the only one who has a playoff spot locked up....wide open in the final week of the season

[DemonGeminiX]

I have a feeling you're gonna get in.

[deebakes]

:woot:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

And you're gonna have the leagues best record...nobody else will come even close

[DemonGeminiX]

He cheated.

[-(

[deebakes]

Not this time, lance is commish :nono:

[DemonGeminiX]

There's no way in hell I could go 0 - 3 against your incredibly awesome lineup while I have such a shitty one. It has to be shenanigans.

[-(

[DemonGeminiX]

Hahahaha!!! I snuck in the playoffs!!!! Lance is out!!! Now I get to get my ass beat by Dee!!!

:dance:

[RBP]

Hahahaha!!! I snuck in the playoffs!!!! Lance is out!!! Now I get to get my ass beat by Dee!!!

:dance:

wow :shock:

Congrats!

#2 seed here :spy:

[DemonGeminiX]

wow :shock:

Congrats!

#2 seed here :spy:

Thanks, but I don't know if I'd want to be in your shoes right now. Godfather's team has been streaking as of late.

I've already accepted the fact that I'll be playing one of you two for 3rd place.

:lol:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Is DGX, who barely snuck into the playoffs gonna upset Dee in the 1st round? :shock:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Looks like GF and RBP are in a good battle too :-k

[RBP]

Does GF even pay attention to this? :lol:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

That will make it even worse if you lose to him :nono:

[RBP]

I know right. Could be the guy who pays no attention against the guy who pays too much attention. :lol:

[DemonGeminiX]

Is DGX, who barely snuck into the playoffs gonna upset Dee in the 1st round? :shock:

I doubt it. One of the things I've come to accept about my matchups with Dee is that his lineup is full of consistent and clutch hitters, they love to hit against me, and I sometimes wonder if any of my hitters are even showing up at the plate awake. I might be in the lead now, but it won't last. His team is just too damn good.

:snapout:

[DemonGeminiX]

Sorry, dude. Past experience has convinced me that he has me dead to rights.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I was 2-0 against Dee and then in the 3rd and final series he slaughtered me :nono:

[DemonGeminiX]

I'm 0 - 3 against him. His batters tend to have a field day when his team is up against mine.

[deebakes]

i got a bad feeling about this week...

[DemonGeminiX]

:hand:

It's only Thursday. You'll come back.

[RBP]

I hope I can come back too :sad2:

[DemonGeminiX]

I hope I can come back too :sad2:

It's entirely possible that you could. You've got a mess of tied stats that you can take over and some of the stats that GF leads you in, he only leads by between 1 and 4 points. You could make all that up and take over with a kick butt day and a bad day for him.

[RBP]

I have a couple good pitching days coming up so I think that could even some things out.

[DemonGeminiX]

Maybe, I haven't gone through either of your day-to-day lineups to see where all your pitchers stand in the next couple of days, but if you can grab some of those close batting stats, then you should be in good shape.

[RBP]

hit dammit :x

[DemonGeminiX]

Ok, I don't get how Hanrahan got a save out of that. There was a 4-run difference in the score and he only faced one batter to end the game.

[DemonGeminiX]

Ok, nevermind, I get it. Miles was at bat, the bases were loaded, and Miles was the tying run.

[RBP]

there you go

[DemonGeminiX]

When I read "save" I always think "score difference of three or less". That's usually how they're earned, so that's what I know off the top of my head.

[deebakes]

it doesn't matter, i'm gonna lose this week anyways :sad2:

[DemonGeminiX]

And this is where your team comes back and beats the living shit out of me.

So far, I'm 0 for 10 in batting.

[RBP]

I went up 10-9! :cheerlead:

going to be tight.

[DemonGeminiX]

0 for 14 now

[Teh One Who Knocks]

My guys are 10 for 16 :tup:

[DemonGeminiX]

I'm 0 for 16 now. Looks like Dee might get a no hitter out of my lineup tonight.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

12 for 19 :tup:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I went up 10-9! :cheerlead:

going to be tight.

Down 10-9 :hand:

[DemonGeminiX]

I'm 0 for 17.

[RBP]

13/25 :cheerlead:

[DemonGeminiX]

Aww damn. Konerko went and broke it up. I'm 1 for 18 now.

[DemonGeminiX]

Excuse me, that's 1 for 19.

[DemonGeminiX]

:nono:

I see what you're doin', Dee.

[deebakes]

I can't do shit :sad2:

[DemonGeminiX]

I hope for your sake that you're right about Strasburg.

:-s

[deebakes]

i am trying to get some IP to put up a fight against your 15 starters...

[DemonGeminiX]

Yeah, I noticed, but I gotta tell you, I've never had much faith in Strasburg. He hasn't played at all this season, he's just coming off the DL so he's rusty, and I don't think he's MLB caliber to begin with. I've just never had much faith in that kid.

[deebakes]

he's made at least one start since coming off the DL :-k

[DemonGeminiX]

He put in 3 innings, that's it. Granted he's going up against a beat up Marlin's team, but you never know with Strasburg. Like I said, I don't trust him. I don't think he's the ace people tout him to be.

Now watch me get proved wrong tommorow.

As for my 15 starting pitchers, I was actually down 2 since Jurrgens and Cueto are unofficially injured and there's no timetable for their return. Yeah, I know. They're not listed on the DL, but the word in the Georgia sport's recap is that Jurrjens is done for the season and Cueto might get a game in at the end of the week next week.

[deebakes]

i think the gap is too wide to makeup though for me in most of the pitching stat categories :(

[DemonGeminiX]

i think the gap is too wide to makeup though for me in most of the pitching stat categories :(

:hand:

We're closer than you think. You've got enough pitchers to possibly make up several stats in the next two days.

[DemonGeminiX]

Jeez, I hope my batters hit well today. Dee's coming at me with all guns blazing.

:nervous:

[DemonGeminiX]

HIT THE FUCKIN' BALL YOU WORTHLESS COCKSUCKERS!!!

:x

[deebakes]

it's going to come down to the final games tomorrow dgx... i'd like to think that this matchup we have is for the actual championship :lol:

[DemonGeminiX]

If you win, I'm banning you.

[-(





















J/K :lol:

[DemonGeminiX]

Holy shit?!?!? Five pitchers tomorrow?!?!?! You really don't want to give this up, do you?

*serves DGX lawsuit papers*

[DemonGeminiX]

*serves DGX lawsuit papers*

*Wipes butt with lawsuit papers and burns them*


:-s

But I was right. I said he'd come back and he did. Even if he had to use every single drop/add that he had to get pitchers in his lineup in an attempted coup of some of the pitching stats.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

You could have employed the same strategy :nono:

[DemonGeminiX]

You could have employed the same strategy :nono:

I did. I rotated two in yesterday and two in today. I have four starting pitchers today and he has five. Now we wait to see which ones get jacked up and which ones go the distance.

:lol:

[DemonGeminiX]

Well, no matter what happens, I put up a better fight against him this time than I did all season long.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

So Dee vs RBP for the championship then, huh? :-k

2 best teams all year meet for the championship....

DGX already gave up :hand:

Are you giving up too? :-s

[RBP]

DGX already gave up :hand:

Are you giving up too? :-s

No, my ego won't allow me too lose to GF and remember, I was the one talking shit to Dee before the draft even. I have to kick his ass in the finals!!

[deebakes]

if i make it there...

[DemonGeminiX]

I have a feeling that you'll make it. It seems several of your players including Curtis Granderson is murdering pitches right now and, well, my team couldn't hit an oversized beachball off of a teeball tee.

[deebakes]

granderson is not playing today :hand:

[DemonGeminiX]

Oh wow. Maybe I do have a chance. *Lowers teeball tee*

:-k

[deebakes]

In the event that a playoff game ends in a tie, the deadlock is broken using the following system:
1. Winning percentage against this opponent during the regular season. The winning percentage is based on individual stat category wins and losses, not match up wins and losses.

2. Playoff seed.

I think you're safe.

[deebakes]

too bad you had to get that early week complete game shutout :(

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Maybe you'll get a no-hitter today Dee :tup:

[deebakes]

so far 0-2 on that, but i guess i have 3 guys going later to still have a chance :tup:

[DemonGeminiX]

Dammit. :sad2:

[deebakes]

you still have games left :nono:

[DemonGeminiX]

No way. It's just not gonna happen.

[RBP]

not over 'til it's over.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

No way. It's just not gonna happen.

Way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory [-(

[RBP]

hehehe you said snatch hehehe

[DemonGeminiX]

:hand:

Whatever.

[DemonGeminiX]

Good job on the comeback Dee. I hope you and RBP have a good match next week.

[RBP]

Is it over?

[DemonGeminiX]

It was over a while ago. I only had one pitcher and one player playing during the time I declared it earlier. There was no way those two were going to mount a comeback, particularly when the deficits were so large.

[deebakes]

i needed both saturday and sunday to mount the comeback though... the score is a bit deceiving as it was close all week long.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Good luck Dee and RBP, should be a good match for the inaugural Basement baseball league championship. :tup:

Even though I'm in the consolation bracket (which I intend to win BTW), I had fun this season :)

[RBP]

Thanks Lance. I've enjoyed it too.

[RBP]

From 3-14-11...


My Cubbies are going to kick Dee's team's ass!


I doubt it :lol:


Bring it! :x


:rofl:

Good Luck Dee!

:wank:

You too :tup:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

So....can RBP hold on and win this thing? :-k

[DemonGeminiX]

You'll find out on Sunday.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Thanks for that Mr Excitement :rolleyes:

[DemonGeminiX]

You're welcome.

:tup:

[deebakes]

hopefully dee can pull it out in the end :tup:




















































that sounds hot :wank:

[RBP]

Numbers look pretty decent for me. My pitching just kicks in today.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Numbers look pretty decent for me. My pitching just kicks in today.

I was gonna say, you only have 2 IP so far this week, that's not good :lol:

[DemonGeminiX]

Oh shit. This week is actually gonna run through until the very end of the regular season, Wednesday of next week.

[RBP]

Oh shit. This week is actually gonna run through until the very end of the regular season, Wednesday of next week.

Really? It's not over Sunday?

[DemonGeminiX]

No. They're including the last 3 days of the season as well. Check the date range on your matchup page.

[RBP]

:x

[DemonGeminiX]

Your players are just gonna have to keep the pressure on.

:dunno:

[DemonGeminiX]

:-k

All of my players have been removed from the can't cut list. It looks like everybody's players have been removed. Interesting.

[deebakes]

:rip:

[RBP]

:rip:

:empathy: According to DGX, it's long from over.

[DemonGeminiX]

Yeah, the last game of the "week" is actually Wednesday, not Sunday.

[deebakes]

i think it is over for me... rbp's team is consistently hitting this week, i can't make up any ground :(

[RBP]

I am still nervous... you have a history of comebacks.

[DemonGeminiX]

i think it is over for me... rbp's team is consistently hitting this week, i can't make up any ground :(

Gee, that sounds familiar... :-k

Oh yeah, that's right... you did that to me 4 frickin' times!!! :x

Let me ask you, Dee, how does it feel? Does it feel good? Huh? Huh? Huh?





:lol:

Just kidding, man. You still have 5 days for your batters to turn on and stage a comeback. It ain't over until the final game on Wednesday is done. You've got time.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Gee, that sounds familiar... :-k

Oh yeah, that's right... you did that to me 4 frickin' times!!! :x

Let me ask you, Dee, how does it feel? Does it feel good? Huh? Huh? Huh?

HIT THE FUCKIN' BALL, LOSERS!!!!

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Dee seems to be closing the gap....wasn't RBP up 15-2 earlier this week? :-k

[RBP]

17-2 at one point... he has been coming back for a few days

[deebakes]

10-11 right now :dance:



at least it will hopefully be close in the end :lol:

[RBP]

10-10 when I just looked. nice comback regardless of who wins tomorrow!

[DemonGeminiX]

Out of the 3 of my remaining batters that have games tonight, 2 of them have been replaced by pinch hitters. And GF has like 3 batters still playing games.

:|

[Teh One Who Knocks]

10-11 right now :dance:

Wow, 11-9 going into the last day....who woulda thought that it would all come down to the last day of the season/playoffs to decide the champ...good job gents and good luck to both of you today. :thumbsup:

You still have an okay lead going into today :hand:

[DemonGeminiX]

:-k

I wonder how many of my players are gonna sit out the final game today?

Atlanta is in a battle for the wildcard with St. Louis, so I know all of Atlanta's and St. Louis' "1st stringers" are gonna be in their games. The same thing goes for Boston and Tampa Bay. I'll assume Scutaro will play. I don't have any Braves', Cardinals', or Rays' players.

The division winners will most likely sit their star players to give them rest before the playoffs start, and those who won't be seeing games beyond today will probably sit their star players.

I know Morse won't be playing and Kendrick injured his wrist last night. I bet that Utley and Ruiz will probably sit out. I don't know how the Texas organization regards David Murphy, so the jury's out on him.

Hmmm....

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Yeah, it's hard to figure it all out at the end of the season like this :wha:

[DemonGeminiX]

Watch I have like 2 batters play.

[RBP]

*crosses fingers*

[DemonGeminiX]

Konerko's out. :|

[DemonGeminiX]

Sandoval's out.

:|

[deebakes]

god dammit, my team is 4 for 31 today... choking at the finish line :sad2:

[deebakes]

fucking shit... team hits today and i win, instead they fucking choke and i lose to a cubs fan :wtf2:

[RBP]

still close!

Thanks for hosting the league Lance! :tup:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

No problem, glad everyone was a part of it :thumbsup:

Congratz again on the Championship :tup:

[DemonGeminiX]

Congrats RBP.

So are we gonna have to create a new league for next season or can we use the already existing one?

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Nope, we can use the existing one

[deebakes]

i'm gonna retire :sad2:
