Nah I have no intentions on adding another player. I like where my team is at right now. When I built it I made sure to do it in a way that salary wasn't crazy.

Then we come down to the wire with the only mystery being does Delta make a last minute pickup, and praying for no fluke injuries.

I think there are three scenarios where I'd be the clear and obvious favorite:

1. If BB decides that I'm going to win, kind of like last night, no amount of talent or tactics are going to matter.
2. If we all decide to protest the economy by committing to play with sub-300k rosters.
3. If we all decide to celebrate team building over team buying by only playing with players who have been on our team since they were 18.

I eagerly anticipate your compliance by selling off your expensive players and thank you for your support.

Or not.

Look inside vs 1-3-1 zone and you come out with the win, that's impressive. Don't write you team off just yet.

That game was all sorts of craziness. I'm still in shock about Yi going off like tht against really good OD.

It was all offense, though, and much more offense than I deserved. Funny thing was (and I told SF this during the game) that I half expected the LI and decided to go with the 1-3-1 more for experimentation purposes and to see a nifty high OD rating. I was curious to see how well Cheek would fare anchoring that zone and the answer was as bad as could be expected, if not worse. To steal a baseball analogy, if the wind is blowing out, it favors the longball hitting team, and the wind was definitely blowing out last night.

But I'm not writing my team off or anything. I'm just realistic that while my team as constructed can apparently be very competitive at this level, it's not one that should be expected to beat teams with title ambitions in the postseason. Not yet. I'll go down scrapping, though.

I hate to add to it, but both games my team shot right about 50% from the arc against your team, with Yi at 14-24. Note to self: either keep Yi until he retires, or fire him so he won't ever play against me.

It would appear that Reston has begun to break up.

I think if anything, after the top three I'd count myself fortunate to be in the "next three" along with Dog River and Droids.

And I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but my hyper-intelligent fans apparently coming off a home win against smallfries were less interested in coming to this game. One can only conclude that they were wanting to see smallfries one last time before they promote and that you, as our rival, must still be around next season. I mean, sure, there may be other interpretations but I'll not have you or anyone else insulting my fans, because that's my job... er, I mean, because they're lovely and talented and prescient and they've put up with the rancid noffense [sic] that we've inflicted upon them all these years.
