Giving Todd Some Props
Todd, I think you are under a misunderstanding about what I think of your team. I agree that you have done a great job managing your team and deserve your current standing. I don't think you have been "lucky," only that the results have to be separated from the strategy and the decision making process.
I think you have done a good job in your decision making process, and therefore deserve your good results. But my point is that even if you were doing poorly that wouldn't impugn your strategy; it would only mean that you were on the wrong side of the randomness factor in the short term.
So keep that in mind! I am not impugning your skills or your strategy. I just wanted to point out that even if you were in last that wouldn't change my opinion.
So let's end this discussion of "luck." As we discussed on the show last week, (shameless plug--every Sunday at 7 PM on Blog Talk Radio) you just have to tip your hat and take your lumps when things go south. So a tip of the hat to you (and Tim for that matter). Though I will admit that I want to hang myself every Monday after each hammering, it is part of the game. So kudos to you and your performance so far.
That is what comes with the territory in the league. We can only hope that the results even out over time. For now though it is time to lick our wounds and pick up the corpses of the Generals’ team as they are strewn across the fantasy battlefield.
There is nothing worse than waking up on Monday to a big fat zero in points, but hopefully the tide will reverse soon. For now we are staying the course; ignoring the results and counting on the fact that the decision making process was correct and will win out in the long run.
Of course; the fact that we are losing again 8-2 this week has to give one pause….
We cannot control the results, only the decisions we make. And yours were better than mine last week for sure, so my hammering was deserved. Next time the tide will turn!

Thanks for that Patrick. I know all teams will have bad weeks. I'm hoping to be able to work my team well enough to avoid the 2-8 or 1-9 weeks and minimize the damage when my team goes south. I am happy with my results. Even this week, I would have gone 4-5-1 if Time didn't stream pitchers, so my team is still strong.
