Re: Fantasy baseball... a cruel game.

My league has had a few very wild finishes.  1 year, a guy won because of
Randy Johnson going that extra monday game after the season.  Another, 1
team was 1 rbi short of winning it all and he did not make a move with 2
weeks to go because he did not think he needed to.

The year I won (I think 2000), going to the last day, I would have lost if
in the last game of the season, Seattle's Brian Hunter got 1 SB and he was
running like mental the last 2 weeks of that year.  He did not.

This year, first and 2nd place are changing daily.   I would say 1/2 the
time, our league has an exciting finish and the other half, it's not.
