So I made my fantasy baseball playoffs with an 11-12 mark, sliding in as a "wildcard" team to play the best team in the league that went 18-5. Beat him this week. Four teams out of ten made the playoffs and it's both wildcard teams in the Championship. Wish me luck. Invested $100 to start the year.
Been a strange year with injuries on my team. Had both Ethier and Quentin as starting OFs. When they went down, I picked up Carlos Lee & Juan Pierre who have played like friggin' MVPs for me. Picked up Fister on waivers about a month ago and he has probably been my best pitcher now on a staff with Haren, Oswalt and Hudson. Championship is gonna be tough. Here's the match-up:
Snorting The Mendoza Line [Me]
C: Santana
1b: Votto
2b: Pedroia
SS: Alexei Ramirez
3B: Longoria
OF: BJ Upton, C.Young, Pierre
U: C.Lee
SP: Fister, Hudson, Oswalt, Minor & Jerome Williams [Using because each have 2 starts]
RP: Walden, Hanrahan
Python
C:V.Martinez
1B: Cabrera
2b: Cano
SS: Hardy
3b: Aramis Ramirez
OF: Bautista, Bruce, Kemp
U: Konerko
SP: Verlander, E.Jackson, Hendriks, Happ, Milwood [His last 4 have 2 starts each, only reason to use]
RP: Nunez, Motte
I beat this guy twice during the regular season. Think it is going to be tough, but I am pinning my hopes on his double start guys making him pay with shitty games. You do lose points for hits given up, ER and BB. I also have Harden on my bench if I want another double start guy but I'm not so sure his two starts would equal one from Oswalt, Hudson or Fister who all have pretty good shots at wins this week. His offense on paper is certainly better than mine any given week, but I'm just looking for consistency. This is a head-2-head league. Points for hits, runs, HRs, doubles, triples, etc. Pts for IP, W, S, Quality Starts.
Any who .. wish me luck!
