    Where are you in the final week?

    12-team mixed: in 3rd (87.5, 85, 84 (me), 80, etc.). Could take the lead with gains of .0005 in AVG and 0.007 in ERA.

    10-team NL: in 3rd, but a pretty tenuous one (87, 72.5, 57 (me), 56.5, 56, 56, 56). My team has been running on fumes for a while so I don't like my chances, but at least it'll be exciting.

    RJEL: in approximately week 3 of my victory lap.
    In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

    In the only league that still matters for me, in the finals of Hammer's 16-tm HTH league.

      RJ Real Mock: 5th place/20 55 out of 4th, but I haven't really even sniffed 4th this year.

      12 Team Mixed Keeper: 5th, with two trailing (65,64). I've been pulling away. 4th is TOO far away. I took over a really bad team, so I'm pretty pleased with where I'm at, especially since I've been playing for 2015 all year.

      12 Team Mixed: 1st, and no one has been close for 3 months

      10 Team Mixed (was to be keeper) H2H: In the finals. Finished 2nd, but I'm facing 1st. Lost 7-6 in both matchups, but would have stomped him this week.

      All in all, a pretty good year. I haven't really played competitively for 4 years, so it's been more about getting back into the groove.
      Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

        12-team NL- 1st (no one close)
        12-team NL- 1st (no one close)
        18-team mixed (RJEL) I'm in 5th, but was in 3rd a couple of weeks ago, bad finish could drop me to 6th.
        12-team NL- 2nd (top 3 are locked)
        12-team NL- 5th (today, but close to 3rd, also a bad finish could drop me to 6th and the #1 pick, which I have never ever had in any league ever)

          Just won my 16 team h2h league. We skip the final week of the season to miss out on whacky late season rest patterns. I mortgaged my future a fair bit to get here, but it feels good right now.

              In my 10 team league that matters, I have fallen into the final.
              A 6th inning HR solo from Todd Frazier got me there.
              This was only possible cus somehow earlier in the day, Trumbo hit to bombs in a meaningless game and Wade Davis hooped with with a hold.
              I used up all my luck in the semi.

              Though I was due some luck, as I had the best Regular season record by a country mile but over the course of the season I lost.
              - Goldschmidt
              - Stanton
              - Traded Pujols for Darvish and he last two bad outings
              - Melky Cabrera
              - Ryan Zimmerman
              - Evereth Cabrera and his ways..
              - Matt Cain

              My key has been to not keep faith in underperforming players! Keep relevant and know who will bounce back and who is going no where!
              In the past I've given players too much rope!

                In tied for 5th place with 56 points in a 10-team league. 3rd place is mjl and he has 57 points.

                3rd - 57
                4th - 56.5
                5th - 56
                5th - 56
                5th - 56

                3rd place takes home 15%, 4th place 10% of pot.

                  1st in my AL only, a 1.5 lead though I'm tied in 2 cats with the 2nd place team. Will be a nailbiting last week.
                  It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

                    Actually, here might be a place to ask this question.
                    If you are in a redraft league and one of your 'undroppbale' players, for example Kershaw, plays his last game on a Thursday and Sunday is final day of regular season (stats wise), and he won't pitch again....
                    Are you allowed drop Kershaw?
                    This is in Yahoo League....

                      15-team H2H points league.

                      I'm in the 3rd week of our world series (we do cumulative points for playoff series) and I currently lead 766 - 616.

                      In the overall points race, I'm in second place in a tight race:

                      Carlson 17267
                      Neely 17118
                      Sternfeld 17096


                      So it's a big week. My only 2-start pitcher is David Price so I've got a lot riding on him finishing strong.

                        14 team mixed...of which Madducks and Mag 7 are members...

                        28 point lead going into the final week for my THREE-PEAT.

                        I have had at least a 20 point lead since the middle of June so this has been a dream season!

                            I bring up when players are playing like shit and get labeled a whiner?

                              My roto league has been a disaster from the get go. 9th place and I am lucky to be that high.
                              My H2H league finals will be me vs. my kid for the 2nd time in 3 years. I was regular season champ two years ago while he finished 2nd and he beat me in the finals. This year he is regular season champ and I finished 2nd so I hope to return the favor.
