Marauders Win! Marauders Win!
I was expecting a third place finish in my first ever fantasy baseball league, which I signed up for back at the end of February. I must confess I only sparingly managed my team this season, I did check the team out on a weekly basis. I made a total of three moves all season, swapping out injured players and just deciding to ride out the season with the team I had. I felt I had a strong team and battled my way to finish the regular season in third place in the six team league. I fluctuated between second and third place the entire season. All of us were about 30 games back from the first place team the entire season.
This being my first year of fantasy baseball, I was not quite sure how the games worked and I must confess I am still a little confused at the scoring. The last I checked I was losing my game in the semifinals. Then I sign on tonight and find out that not only did I make the final, but I beat the powerhouse G-ville Goats led by one of the greatest minds in fantasy sports in a thriller 6-5. Not bad for a wiffle ball team playing their first year in the big leagues.
Sure there was some luck involved, Okay, a lot of luck was involved. The league was much smaller than was initially anticipated and I think two of the teams managers got lost somewhere. Not that I did any super managing myself, but I did check for injuries when I remembered. I now look forward to an off season as champion and welcome all comers next year to come and take my title.
