Things aren't what they seem
I have asserted all season thus far that I have been the victim of bad luck. Every time I play a particular team (so far, just the division rivals), it seems that they put up extraordinary numbers, compared to their performances against other teams.
So, I decided to put some figures to the test. If this were not a head to head league, and we were merely playing straight roto, how would I fare against the first place team in my division, the True Guru (who also happens to be the second best team in the league, in terms of head to head standings right now).
Well, it turns out, I would beat the True Guru: 5-4-1.
Feel free to correct the numbers, Mr. Farino. I hastily put this together, and I got excited when my calculations indicated that I actually have fared better overall than your team.
And, now, I am playing the clearly best team in the league in Tim Dierkes' RotoAuthority, so I suspect I'm gonna get slaughtered again.
So, now I end with one, simple conclusion. The Fantasy Gods want me to suffer. Perhaps, you can reference me as the coming Messiah in that fantasy bible of yours, Todd?
And, oh yah. A postscript.: Since I am not in the Guru power rankings, and he ranks himself as #2, does that make me #1.5?

That's a good point Rob. I'll assume your numbers are right. I've just been able to strategize for each match up and lady luck has been with me. I redid the Power Rankings as I only added 10, not 12! Sorry!
I feel for you Geek-man. I whacked him two straight weeks, and only got 5 points to show for it. Now this week i will probably cool off and he will eke out a win. I am sure he will stop talking about it by August though.....
