Well.....This Stinks

    If y'all don't care about my perils when it comes to fantasy sports, then you need not read this post. If you do care, knock yourselves out. I have a real post, so to speak, coming out tomorrow.


    Coming into yesterday, the last day of the week, I was tied in both of my fantasy leagues. It was the first round of the playoffs. Might I start with my worse team?






    After a last seed championship run last year, I always name my team The Atlanta Scareds come the playoffs.Well, I was losing 13-0 after day one of this matchup, but I closed the gap pretty well. Not enough, I guess. It's the first time I made the playoffs in this league, and not the championship.










    I have too much to say about this matchup. I beat my opponent both times we met in the regular season, and when I signed off Saturday night was up 7-4. Then I got Jacob deGrom on waivers and Riley Greene had an amazing game. Then a few things happened against me, like Josh Jung not being in the lineup, Zac Gallen pitching less than ideally, and a couple other things. But I was up 6-5 at about 8:40 last night. All that needed to happen was Teoscar Hernandez and Tommy Edman stay quiet. Well, they both homered. This put him in the lead in homers, though Riley Greene hit two for me yesterday. Thus, I lost. (I was Super Hot Spicy Squid by the way)



    I thought that I had a chance in both of my leagues, and a chance to win it all with Super Hot Spicy Squid. Well, that's just how it goes. To be honest, I'm not upset though. It was a long season for me, my first time ever with two teams. 


    I apologize for this whole post, but figured my plight was rather interesting. Feel free to come back to the blog tomorrow, where I'll have a real post. Thanks, for reading, happy collecting, and have a great week!
    And in the words of Truman, 'Good morning, good afternoon and goodnight."

  2. That’s the tough part about fantasy. Great job making it to the playoffs in both leagues though. It was awesome competing with u throughout the season. Looking forward to 2025

  3. Kudos to you running two fantasy teams... and taking both teams into the playoffs. I played fantasy football for years... but only played fantasy baseball one season. It was a lot of work and I hung it up after that season.

    1. I can't say that I blame you. Fantasy baseball can become a commitment sometimes.

      I'm trying fantasy football for the first time this season. We'll see how it goes...
