Who else eeked out first place?

[tinfoilxtouch]

Man, I spent the entire day on my blackberry refreshing stats and biting my fingernails.

I've been in first place since week 1. At one point I had a 18 game lead, but injuries and a surging second place team left me only 5.5 up going into this week. I faced the third place team and was tied for first (meaning second with the tie-break) at like 4pm today. Somehow, Hoffman got the win for the second place team's opponent. Snuck into the playoffs with a .5 game lead on second.

Anyone else have the same type of thing today?

Similar situation here. I've been in first since I beat the then first place team 12-4 in Week 11. I had a 13.5 game lead with 4 weeks remaining, but it was down to .5 for the final week. I just happened to be playing the 2nd place team this final week and narrowly escaped 8-7 thanks in part to CC being a manimal.

won by 1 gm, but i actually preferred #2 for playoff matchups but being the regular season #1 earned me an extra $50.

My situation is the exact opposite of your's.
I spent weeks 8-22 digging myself out of a 28-51-5 start to the season.
Before the day started I was one game out of a second seed, and a first round bye. (Which is just as good as first place to me)

I'm one of those bums that doesn't have stat tracker, so I'll have to wait a few more hours to see if I got it or not.

Not me. Got a first week bye, woo hoo!! Gonna sit on my lay-z-boy all week, watch baseball and the waiver wire like the stock market Good luck to all, been a long year.

I went 45-3 the last three weeks to cover what I believe was a 15 GB deficit into first place.

The league I'm in uses 18 cats so it's kind of weird, but awesome nonetheless.

i was eeked out of 2nd place. up 7 3 since thursday, he ties sb's with matt kemps steal on sunday night baseball which changes the .5 of my lead to the .5 of his lead. now gonna have to smoke the poor 6th place team

I didn't necessarily "eek" it out, but I certainly backed in, losing three of the last four weeks, but the second place team also struggled down the stretch and only picked up .5 on me.

I don't know what to do with my time this week, came in first, first, and second in my h2h leagues.

Regular season victories are only worth a pat on the back. So pat yourselves on the back. Me I finished 1 game out of 1st in second. Do I care, no. It would have been a bigger deal had a finished in third as 1st and 2nd still have a bye. A bye is a bye.

I took 2nd in both of my H2H World Series leagues. Its not first, but like The Cow, I'll take the bye!
