17 years playing online, never had this happen before...

PostThu Apr 26, 2018 3:01 pm

I've been doing this a LONG time now. It's actually hard to believe the online game has been around as long as it has. When I checked my teams this morning I saw something I've never seen before in all my years doing this. Now I usually have between 7 -12 teams going at any one time, most of those are keepers ( all of them in fact, at least until Jeep brings back his Wildcard and Give & Take leagues). I currently have 6 teams with games played, ranging from as few as 9 to as many as 114. When I looked at my teams' overview this morning I saw something that:

1. I know won't last, especially after making this post, the Strat gods are fickle afterall
2. Made me smile like I haven't in a long time

All 6 of my team, either are in, or share, 1st place in their divisions.

As I said, I've played a good long time, and I'm a decent enough manager, though not as good as I probably should be given the time, effort and expense I've poured into this endeavor over the years. But I have to say, It absolutely made me giddy this morning seeing all those 1st's under the place column. I know it won't last, but I'll savor it, after all if you can't savor the little victories in life, why bother. :D

All I got from your post is you are old. The rest of us are millennials. I might know some of your kids, kids when I went to High School. What are their names. :lol:

Oh it went down hill fast, as I knew it would, now only one of those teams is in First. In fact the team that was nearest the end of the season, and has lead basically from the start of the season is now in a year end death spiral and now sits in third place in its division despite having the best run differential.

HAL is a fickle mistress after all.
