It'll probably come down to Cloudy's pitching to determine if there's another upset in these here playoffs.  If last night's Nats/Braves game is any indication, Washington is done playing around and Gio should do alright.  Doesn't help that Srar left King Felix on the DL and will miss his start tonight.

Sadly, I think the luck's run out on the Team of Noobitude.  Pollock & Scooter have been solid, but with Kemp as well as Peralta being day-to-day, that'll probably allow KM to take most of - if not all - of the batting categories.

My predictions:
Sweeties over Streakbreakers
Mustache over Noobitude

Mustache over Sweeties

Mothers over Mustache in a Commish-in-the-Bank cash-in.  

Yeah I kinda just wrote Felix off for the season and forgot he came back. Let's hope it doesn't make a difference

So yesterday was very, very good for my team. I am NOT getting my hopes up. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not.

Ray got tagged and that's been the Mustaches's strikeout artist, so you've got a puncher's chance.  As a fan of sheer chaos, I'm rooting for ya.

My offensive players had a real good night as well. I doubt I maintain that advantage in batting but its good to have it for now.

[The Buscher]

I had Ray on my bench for months, wasting countless good starts from him.  It was the first time I've checked my team since early June.  Not even an exaggeration.  I have not made one roster move or lineup adjustment in three months.  Justin Turner was on my bench, too.

So yeah, the easiest way for me to lose is to put forth an actual effort in setting a lineup. 

If I win cool, if not it's not like I deserve it.  Clearly I'm done after this year anyway since I just can't be bothered.  Probably doesn't help that the Mets were so bad this season that I lost any desire to watch baseball despite it being one of my biggest passions.

Wow, really? I check my roster and do my shit like.. every few days. >_>

If I weren't selfish and so needy for fantasy validation and titles I would be rooting for you Clouds

Hey @Your Cloud And Mine

Please don't break my streak.

If I do manage to win I'll have knocked off the #3, #2 and #1 seed to do so. Yay!

GO BEARS! USA! USA! USA! MICHAEL JORDAN IS THE GOAT!

I think it's obvious where Srar's loyalties should lie ...

[Berober]

I never doubted that the final > would be decided this week @HC

Shame it's for 7th place...

Your domination over me in your signature ends this week! 

[HC]

No this doesn't count I forgot about this league

 

let's stick to fantasy football where you're soon to be 0-3!!

[Twist]

Damnit.

So many categories that could have easily swung the other way. Oh well. Congratulations!

[thatshortguy]

Appreciate everyone taking part.  Tip 'o the hat to everyone for this year and whoever will be the new Commish next season.

I feel like we should have an EWB FANTASY BASEBALL VICTORY PARADE

[Your Mom]

Oh god he's gone drunk with power already  

[Maxx]

HELLO ALL

I will be taking over running this league, adding it to the other well established and popular fantasy sports franchises that I oversee here on EWB such as and including EWBFL and EWBFBL which is of course EWB Fantasy Basketball League, not EWB Fantasy Baseball League, which will...apparently have to have a different abbreviation.  

Anyways, I would like some input from those of you who have played in this league before, as to what you want rosters to look like, what categories do you want to use for scoring, etc.  Oh and tell me when we should start the draft.
