Thanks, numbers. This far exceeded my wildest expectations. I'm glad everyone enjoyed it so much. I think we might have pulled off the Great RM Success Story of 2014...

This is neck and neck with the Wealthy Eddie Vedder meme.

I get confused about the timeline of the PRAMG and the Wealthy Eddie Vedder meme. Were they both 2014?

This is way better than that. And it's not even close. This has been a great combination of just going on the fly (randomly adding an all star break, doubling the length of the season, etc) combined with really well executed organization. This had the potential to be a painful clusterfuck. Somehow that was all avoided, in large part because of Lament, but because I think once it got going we all (except ruddo) were committed to going all in with it.

Wealthy Eddie was a great source of humor for me, but I actually got into this like it was a fantasy league.

I know this has probably been posted 7 times already, but we are reseeding after the first round, right?

I want my rotation to stay the same in the playoffs. Perry, Feller, Gregg and Tiant.

That's some clutch shit right there. He's got a good chance be named MOP.

This has been everything I thought it'd be and more.

I MIGHT tinker with my lineup come game 3 and 4 with those lefties on the mound. I will let you know, Lament.

Yeah, I think this was a huge part. The enthusiasm stayed high throughout the entire season. I think the spreadsheets and stat keeping had a lot to do with that, so thanks to all parties from the Great Spreadsheet War of 2014. It's amazing to see anything on RM that lasts as long as this has so far to not get swallowed up by cynicism.

Don't be a dick, skitch. This was fun to put together, but I had no idea going into it that you all were going to require spreadsheets. And I picked two shitty teams to boot.

Sorry I didn't liveup to thread standards. Asshole.
