Remember the Polamalu touchdown turned not touchdown that didn't matter anyway but still caused a ruckus in the casinos, I was down by four with Pittsburgh's defense. Lost the game because they took it back. Went from jubilant to pissed. Then again, it wasn't in championship week.tHeMARksMiThhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16445834941960575715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9106257093107729484.post-13043840201082307682008-12-23T10:29:00.000-05:002008-12-23T10:29:00.000-05:00I'm down with that pain.I've been playing fantasy ...I'm down with that pain.<BR/><BR/>I've been playing fantasy baseball for years and have been pretty successful (and very lucky) winning 3 out of 4 years starting in 2003. Well, before the '07 season my fellow owners became a little sick of my success and decided it was time to change the rules. (Not so ironically, I named my team Big Stein so I guess I was asking for it.) They decided to switch the format to head-to-head which basically makes every week a crap-shoot.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, to make a long story short, do you remember the game the Yanks played against the O's that year that got interrupted by rain? My opponent that week had Mariano on his team. I beat him by a few points that week and all was good. HOWEVER, when they resumed that game a few weeks later, Mo came in to get the save. Those points counted for the week that the game was originally played switching my win to a loss. I missed the playoffs by one game that season.<BR/><BR/>Oh...did I mention that the guy who benefited was the one who led the charge to switch to head-to-head? Yeah. Thankfully, he didn't win anything that year except for the title of being my fantasy nemesis.<BR/><BR/>I feel for your bro. An extra egg nog will dull the pain, but nothing will make it completely go away.dinologic (Dean D)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14412884655658158190noreply@blogger.com
