Bucs Dugout is dead, long live Bucs Dugout (fantasy)

http://www.bucsdugout.com/2008/3/15/163346/764

After nearly running away with the regular season title, Charlie's team faltered late but held off the contenders to win the regular season title in the Bucs Dugout H2H fantasy baseball league. Alas, the faltering carried over into the playoffs and Charlie's squad was bounced by JimBibbySweat.

Charlie beat me both times in the regular season, but my lame squad came on in the last few weeks to secure the 6th and final playoffs spot. I won my quarter- and semifinal matches and now face JimBibbySweat in the finals.

Looking back at that link, my draft sucked, but the exceptions were standouts, like Sabathia, Lincecum, and Nate. The bit players I got in the middle-late rounds led my late charge, like Ethier and Overbay. I traded Shields for Aubrey Huff which was as key as anything else.

Congrats on a great season Charlie. I'm not sure I have a definite preference for roto or H2H. Liked them both. I'm pretty certain I'd be good but out of the running if we did roto this year, so I like that aspect of H2H. But I'll probably get pummelled in the finals and will feel just as bad.

Thanks, Azibuck. Both my fantasy teams just kind of got tired this year. Probably that has something to do with my having less and less time to keep up as the year went on, but also it has something to do with my depending on Dan Uggla and various Brewers in both leagues.

I liked H2H this year, although I think the playoff schedule is a little bit draconian, just like it real life. Sour grapes, maybe.

Anyway, good luck in the finals.

Grumble

If only my late playoff run after an awful start hadn’t fallen short, then we’d be spared the guy that drafted Jose Bautista making the finals.

I kid, I kid. Congrats on a great season, Azibuck. You were right about Nate McLouth all along and deserve to be in the finals on that call alone. Good luck.

And for what it’s worth, I was a fan of the H2H this year.

Any chance you switch away from H2H?

I’d like to see how I’d do against you guys, but I hate H2H like Brad Corely hates walks.

Corley, rather.

Wish we could edit posts…
