I'm in one league that started it's playoffs last week.  I fought all season for the #1 seed.  Even though there was no bye (one played eight), I knew the eight seed would be either bad or not paying attention.  Seems it was both as the eight seed had a couple of players in the starting line-up who were on the DL, and it's best starting pitcher was on the bench.  SWEET!

Imagine my surprise when on the first day of the week I saw that the commissioner went and changed his line-up for him.  He even dropped a DL guy and added someone off the waiver-wire.  His excuse: the manager hadn't participated for a few weeks, so he would do that no matter who the eight seed was playing.  Of course, the commish also ended up with the 4 seed, and as such would play the winner of the 1 vs. 8.  Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

Well, this commish seems to believe in Karma and it came back to bite him.  He lost his first round match-up.  And this was after bragging all season that the regular season didn't matter; that he had built his team for September; and it only mattered how you finished in the playoffs. 

Ouch.

Oh, and I cruised to victory in round one.

Only regret:  I won't have the possible pleasure of bouncing him out of the playoffs myself!

ANYWAYS, what do you think of a commish doing something like that?  There was another player who responded before I did and said it was wrong and needed to be changed back.  The commish just blew us off.  Personally, I think it went way too far.

I've talked about this league all season.  It is the one with the naughty commish and the foul mouthed participants (I feel like I've reentered the 7th grade locker room with these guys).  BUT, they DO participate unlike so many other leagues at this time.  I will have to think long and hard as to whether to come back next season.  I guess an added plus has been all the material they have given me for this site, lol!
