I Coulda Been a Contendah

Post by ThatGuy » Wed Oct 07, 2009 10:19 am

I know this is only from my $125 satellite team but if my team was drafted with the big-boys I would have got 7th overall! I would have scored 1,768 hitting points as well. Reading about all these winners and the great team that Lindy drafted in the Main is pumping me up for diving in head-first next year. (I need to convince my wife now).

Crazy like a fox is that you?



The comparison you make is like comparing apples and a big fat turd.



Join the main event- you may do well, but your comparison beyond trying to convince your wife is not a good one.

Chance favors the prepared mind.

I have solid seasons out the wahzoo. That and $5 can get you a Starbucks beverage. Congrats on seeing some green this year.

[/QUOTE]I don't believe much in luck especially here. I do think you have been a little unlucky. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water- keep doing the same things and the money will follow IMO. I had good fortune with injuries this year (although we agree on avoiding injury prone guys) or i would not have won anything myself.

[/QUOTE]Glad you did not take that negatively. The fact that you did well in a satellite is good in the fact that you have reacted to no trades, faab, and 15 man leagues well. To compare the level of competition would be dangerous. We look forward to having you in 2010. There is a reason why so many of us are repeat customers. If you like the sats you will love the main and meet a lot of nice people.
