    Well, I got that spectacular performance from Cruz! It looks like playoffs here I come! I now have a 9-win, an 8-win, and a 7-win team among my three. Which have clinched their division, are tied for the lead in their division, and are one game back in their division, respectively.

    I got the tri-fecta this year! 3 teams, all in the playoffs! I got a pair of 9-win teams, and an 8-win team, which was good enough for a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place finish in my leagues - all playoff bound!

    After the first year in which I made it 3 for 3 in my fantasy teams making the playoffs, I can proudly announce that also, for the first time ever, I'm 3 for 3 in my teams making it to the semi-finals. (Granted, in one league I had a first round bye, so my entry into the semi-finals was assured.) Given that my teams are pretty much nothing alike (there are no players that are common to all three teams, and the only player that appears on more than one roster is Stafford), it stands to reason that the chances of at least one of these teams making the championship game is rather high, but the odds of all three of them making it is rather low.

    I had such a disappointing year it is almost shameful. My teams were decimated by injuries early in the season and were never able to recover. The one that really burns me is my friend league. I ended up in 5th place and missed the playoffs, but was the league's top scorer by over 100 points. That is just crappy luck. My work league I ended up in 8th place which I consider a miracle considering I think I was 0-6 at one point. Oh well, better luck next year.

    And then there were two. My trio of playoff teams lost a member this weekend. I got Bushed. As in Reggie Bush. Technically haven't lost yet, but I'm down nearly 30 with only the SF defense going tonight. While the SF D/ST has served me well all year, 30 is probably unattainable (seeing as how there's only a handful of such D/ST scores all year.

    The other two soldier on. Two championship games, and one runner-up game next week.

    Indeed it is. That happened to me in my work league last year. Top scorer (although not by 100 - the amount was significantly smaller than that), finished 6th. It was unbelievable bad luck. I finished with 7 losses, and 4 of those losses came when I played the only team in the league that could have beaten me. That's not just bad luck - that's almost inconceivably bad luck. It's a 12 team league, so if you finish with the second highest score for the week, you should win 10 out of 11 times.

    In the end of things....

    3 leagues,

    1 Championship
    1 Second Place
    1 Third Place

    A pretty good year all in all.
