Fantasy football (and baseball) postmortem
Let's start with football, just because it's fresh in my mind. Two leagues are actually still going on, but I'm pretty sure my situation isn't changing any so I might as well write this now. It was a disaster, no two ways about it. I had teams in three leagues. My best showing was 5-7-1 (7th out of 12). My other two leagues are 5-8, and there's a good chance I won't even make the consolation playoffs in those leagues. Just sad, really. I have serious doubts that I want to play again next year. A year off might be really good for me.
Baseball was at least a bit better. My CPL team won its division handily, but I think it was mostly scheduling luck. We weren't really that good, and I got waxed in the playoffs. Still, it felt like a pretty decent season. My Sanchez dynasty team was probably the worst team I've had in years-- 9th out of 10, pretty much out of contention after May. It's weird because it's a dynasty league and I did well (2nd place) last year, so I thought I had something to build on. Oh no, so very wrong. I just hope that I was able to blow it up enough at the end to be competitive next year (or at some point in the near future, anyway). I feel most proud about my team in Chief's All-Star League. That's a stupid hard league, considering it has 16 teams and there are extra starting positions. Talent gets thin so quickly. I had the second-best record in the regular season and made it to the league finals before losing. I hope I can repeat that performance next year.
