I don't Know....

if this is good, bad or just unimportant. I've raised a family, I've run my business, and gotten through my share of difficult times... but by far...by miles and miles far, this game, more specifically the results (because I really like drafting and the preseason team building) is the most frustrating, exasperating, maddening and just plain unsatisfying thing in my life...Funny and not funny but almost every night from 11:00 - 12:00 is the very worst part of my day...

After 1000 teams, and thousands of dollars I still really have little understanding of the HUGE variance from what seems to be similar situations, be it teams or players....senseless, both the game, and for me to wait for results each night.

Join the club on the maddening and frustrating part and add a dash of disappointing as well. But it's a lot easier to wait up for the scores on the West Coast!

Wow this is so true.

Got me wondering if everyone else actually watches all the replays of their teams or just check the scores/boxscores?

Totally agree...and when I have a team that's killing it through 90, 100, 120 games, I don't want to talk about it, change lineups, mess with strategy, etc. fearing I'll jinx it (silly!)...

Every night I need to check scores before bed, because I'd rather go to sleep frustrated then wake up and have my day start out the wrong way...

90% of "Strat induced insomnia/psychosis/"man hal is really pissing me off" is easy to solve. you know the solution.

"Hey Bernie, some people are complaining about not figuring out the game, drafting, staying up late, headaches. Ya know, typical baseball stuff that makes this game a favorite national pastime!"
"Yeah, next thing ya know, they'll want health care included in buying team sets, insurance for crappy teams if they don't win to recover some costs, and having to explaining things which we just don't do!! What's NEXT?!!?"
"We could form a special set where ya just draft players, go through the waiver period, set up the teams, and then just
abandon the whole league and not even play the season!! Sort of what Congress does!"
"That's an grand idea! We could call it the 'Mystery Season Set' and not have to play the season!! Results just won't matter, just keep the money coming IN without accountability to anyone!! A true reflection of corporate America today!"
"Won't customers get tired of that after a while? No results of their efforts..?"
"That's what politicians are for and every 4 years we do the same thing! They haven't learned YET!!!! HA-HAAA!!! Get on this right away!!"

what the f&&k chuck! someone throw you a hanging curve? rant on my man, rant on! right arm dude , farm out! you da man!

SALTY is da MAN! Where is HE!!

That is why I prefer the face to face version--when I lose, I can only blame myself (which is painful enough as it is!).

say what! do you play against yourself in a mirrored room?
