As the Fantasy Football season winds down and with Roto Ball almost upon us I was thinking about the good and bad of last years campaigns and realized I always come close in most of my leagues. I win some, cash in most and once in a great while, flame out in spectacular fashion. However, this season I have seemed to have run into a little final table funk, if you know what I mean.
On the last day of baseball season I was in second place by half a point, one point ahead of fourth in Boxscore, the long time rotojunkie staff league, somewhat disappointed that I faded from first a week earlier**I couldn't fade the injuries to Tulo, Encarnation, Pedroia and Stanton down the stretch, but injuries happen so I told myself** I am only vulnerable in one category, strikeouts. I have Gray and Felix going on this final day, the guy in 4th is 5 Ks behind me and has only Pineda going. I get 12 Ks he gets 18 from Pineda and some scrubs to leapfrog me into 2nd and drop me to 4th because of ONE strikeout.
This season in football I had easily the best roster but lost 2 games by less than a point and ended up in a tie for 1st when another owner dropped D Robinson and the guy who tied me picked him up and was able to start 4 RBs because Yahoo keep his designation as a WR in play. On the last day he passed me by 10 points to take first on the tie breaker. I also lost the bonus money for WR and RB high points for the season on the last day, one by a point the other by .3 of a point. Then I get bounced in the first round of the playoffs when I scored 155 after avg 220 for the season and get beat by the only seed in the consolation bracket I would have lost to in the first round, the 7th, who over scored his projections by 60 points.
So this season, the last day hasn't been very good to me and I didn't even drink Jobu's rum.
Anyone else suffer similar bad beats or really great miracle finishes?
