Most people's mood is determined by their day at work or how much sleep they had last night...
Sometimes a good or bad mood depends on the mood of your wife (or husband depending upon the reader of this message).
All I can say is nothing makes me moodier (word?) than the NFBC. Thank you?
It puts me in a good mood when my team scores 9 runs, 13 rbi, 4 HRs, 2 SB, and hits .422.
Last night, it put me in a bad mood... no... it put me in a depressed mood... yes... DEPRESSION is the word... when my closer aka Chad Qualls entered in a non-save situation yesterday and gave up 5 hits and 4 earned runs. This happens after he had made 4 appearances in a row without giving up a run. I thought the old Qualls was finally back but oh no... For the record, this bout of depression typically lasts 5 to 15 min or so depending upon the act that caused it so it is only temporary... (I don't want to or mean to offend anyone who has seriously battled depression).
As someone who has a load of fun but yet takes the NFBC seriously, it sure feels strange trying to explain to someone who doesn't play fantasy baseball how this game came affect you emotionally (yes there are much more important things in life but fantasy baseball to some, including me, makes the list of "Important Things" even if it's on the lower part of the list). The only exception is my wife. She gets it and accepts it. She finds it funny that she has to give me a pep talk every once in awhile after a horrible day in the nfbc.
Sad... maybe. But some nights, it's true. I'm always fine the next day (if I wasn't and couldn't handle my emotions, then I wouldn't play... or would I?) but every fantasy season is usually a roller-coaster ride of ups and downs. Maybe that's what makes it so much fun in an odd sort of way.

Maybe your pitcher lasts 1 inning and gives up 9 earned against a team like the Red Sox he wasn't even scheduled to face. Just a random example, of course.

this is one of the main reasons i don't check standings very often and why i NEVER look at live scoring until maybe the last month of the season.
been there, done that, and it can be a lot of stress. i can do without it

Vicissitudes?
Before this, I think the only one I have heard use that word was Daffy Duck.
