Fantasy Recap, Week 5: How Many More Times?

Plant? Page? Prophets.

There's one league where I have to ask myself "How many more times can I lose?" and another where I ask "How many more times can I win?"

So, in my NFL.COM league? I won!

Catchers in the Rye

The bad news was everyone else in my division won too, so it didn't get me anywhere.

Over in one of the solo leagues? I lost. Again. Sigh.

I actually played a guy who left two starters out. Two! And I still lost. Dammit.

Then there's my "Li'l Mary Sunshine" league. I won! Again!

That win left me the only undefeated team in the league... we'll just see how much longer I can stay undefeated. It's funny, 'cause this is just a random league I joined, and I get the impression most everyone else in it knows each other, so it must be weird for them to watch an outsider dominate the first few weeks... which is just what's happening in my Yahoo! league.

Blue Blazer Regulars
Projected: Win
Actual: Win 238-175

1. Purple Crap Stains 4-1-0
2. Night Train 4-1-0
3. Blue Blazer Regulars 4-1-0
4. MightyPurpleHelmets 3-2-0
5. De chier des bulles 3-2-0
6. Extreme Hummingbird 2-3-0
7. LiL Man 2-3-0
8. Snooze Alarm 1-4-0
9. Intercepticons 1-4-0
10. Purple People Eaters 1-4-0

I'm pretty happy with the win (naturally), and with climbing up to 3rd... but that "Night Train" has a pretty solid lock on 1st so far... and none of us know who he is. There are two strangers in my Yahoo! league: one is #1, and the other is #7, and for no good reason at all I assume they know each other. Go figure.

Finally, in the office Yahoo! league... I lost. I was so optimistic about this game, too.... A win would have been huge. The loss? Not so huge.

Live Free; Rhyme Hard
Projected: Loss
Actual: Loss 195.47-308.19

Yeah, I lost in a pretty impressive way... but you don't get points for style, I'm afraid.

1. LightsOut 4-1-0
2. Death by Haiku 4-1-0
3. The Flying Frenchman 4-1-0
4. BALCO 4-1-0
5. The Pastry Ducks 3-2-0
6. Arsenal 3-2-0
7. San Diego Zoo 2-3-0
8. Baby Bashers 2-3-0
9. Alabama Hot Pockets 2-3-0
10. Livefree; Rhymehard 1-4-0
11. Bliss's Blitzers 1-4-0
12. ativan stat 0-5-0

So, Week 5: One undefeated team, one team that can't buy a win, and three teams somewhere in-between. This week I look forward to (and by "look forward to" I mean "dread") playing Nancy in two leagues. Good times, bad times... you know I've had my share.
