Only six teams in the hockey league.  It's like old-skool NHL.

Oh man, I discovered the beauty of DirecTV Short Cuts last night.  Part of the whole DirecTV Sunday Ticket thing is 30 minute broadcasts on Monday and Tuesday of every game with all non-playtime edited out.  I watched the whole Detroit/Oakland game last night while my fiancee was getting ready to go over to a friend's place. 

A result of this viewing:  It is too early to get too excited about Kitna or the Detroit receivers, notwithstanding the numbers they put up on Sunday.  Apparently the Oakland defense is employing a strategy of staying nine to eleven feet away from the opposing team's receivers until they have the ball secured and have turned upfield.

Damn!  I would have played fantasy hockey if I'd known I could use the Hanson Brothers.

I'm going to try not to get into too much specific smack-talk in the hockey thing but damn, Somebody nice, you could have picked Heydude off the waiver wire.

Aw man... how after being in first place all year am I already fucked two days into my first playoff week?

That's ridiculous?

But that's also what's completely awesome about baseball.

The juxtaposition of significant samples and fluke runs against pivotal turning points in a season.

No! No! I'm sorry! None of those terms mean anything to me!!

I need to find some time to sit down with a fantasy FAQ so I can figure out what the fuck I'm doing. Christ.

I think, towards the end of the year, it was basically the top three teams and all the rest.  It would be flukish if the Reagans or Phlogistons beat you, but if I do it is bullshit.

We are approaching the final stretch. I would feel more comfortable about my chances of winning this week if the matchup page didn't reveal that nearly all my leads are by a paper thin margin -- just one light breeze and I could easily be sitting at 3-7 instead of the other way around. The one exception being the Phloggies' flukey team ERA. I mean, 5.47? And the WHIP is only 1.60? That's just really, really bad luck  on the part of your pitching staff.

Okay. Here's the amazing thing.

My pretend baseball team has decided to collapse the exact same way that the team I really cheer for, the Mets, has.

As close to the end as possible and by all their lesser pitchers imploding at once.

I'm okay with this.

But motherfucker, I'm not going down without a fight...

Everything but wins, K's, rbis and maybe average is open  You have the K's and RBI's, I should win the wins and average-- I just have a small advantage on the rest.

It is very safe to say that you have ERA and WHIP locked up, Keith.

I am gonna need a whole lotta luck in all the right categories to even make this close...
