Well this weekend was relatively bad for sports... Notre Dame lost to Purdue (which I won't even talk about), the Tigers lost 2 of 3 to the White Sox (who no matter how bad they are, we can never seem to beat), and BP flag football lost another heartbreaker. While the Detroit Lions did beat the Chicago Bears this weekend (even though I could really care less).
The real treat for me this weekend was winning the Fantasy Baseball League that I have with my friends from GP, which is something that I have never done before. There have been many great teams in our league (many of which have belonged to me), but this year I think that my team was the best team ever assembled (hitters: saltalamacchia, fielder, hill, jeter, Aram, figgins, abreu, holiday, ortiz [with special thanks to bonds and sanchez] and pitching:kazmir, westbrook, putz, jones, benoit, wakefield, davis, meche, sonnanstine, arroyo, correja, snell [special thanks to lowry, shields]). My regular season record was 123-86-11 putting me in the regular season championship two seasons in a row and in the winner's bracket playoffs in all six years of the league existence. After the first round bye, I destroyed the best hitting team in the league (kirk) by an 8-2 score and then won the two week championship 6-2 (with the loser, max, congratulating my victory on thursday). For the first time ever I can look at what I spent many many hours on and actually think I accomplished something... what is it that I accomplished, you may wonder?
Well that is easy and something that is worth more than the $90 i received for winning... and thats bragging rights over 11 individuals for the next 12 months of my life. Not only can I now claim that I had the best team last season, but that I am the best manager in the league (my knack was that I never won the big game). Now since I have squashed the critics I have a new goal in our league and thats staying on top...
