10/01: Yankees Bloggers League: Final Results
Posted by: Patrick
The championship round of the playoffs in the Yankees Bloggers Fantasy Baseball League has come to a close. As such, our season is now over. I'd like to thank everyone who participated this season. It was a lot of fun.
5. Patrick defeats 2. James, 7-3
Just like last week, there was plenty of excitement in this one. I jumped out to an early lead in the 2 week long match up, holding onto it most of the way. But, James made a slow, but sure comeback, chipping away at my lead and, eventually, heading into the final day, had pulled ahead.
After all the dust had cleared on the final day, I had won. I took runs, stolen bases, batting average, wins, saves, strikeouts and WHIP while James took home runs, RBIs and ERA. We went pretty hard at each other over these 2 weeks, with James dropping 16 players and me dropping 15.
My offense was led by Derek Jeter (10 R, 1 HR, 6 RBI, 2 SB, .404 AVG), Carlos Lee (11 R, 3 HR, 8 RBI, 2 SB, .373 AVG), Alex Rodriguez (9 R, 2 HR, 15 RBI, .333 AVG) and Prince Fielder (10 R, 4 HR, 9 RBI, 2 SB, .244 AVG). James got big performances from Chipper Jones (12 R, 3 HR, 11 RBI, .356 AVG), Alfonso Soriano (8 R, 5 HR, 9 RBI, 1 SB, .356 AVG) and Moises Alou (7 R, 1 HR, 10 RBI, .377 AVG).
Pitching wise, for me, Andy Pettitte turned in 2 wins to go along with victories from Nate Robertson, Huston Street, Jamie Moyer, Justin Verlander (13 Ks) and Franklin Morales. Manny Corpas (4), Brian Wilson (3), Joe Borowski (3) and Mariano Rivera (2) had saves. Scott Kazmir had 19 strikeouts. For James, Joakim Soria, Jake Peavy (9 Ks), Adam Wainright (16 Ks), Chad Billingsley and Dustin McGowan (11 Ks) picked up wins and Jose Valverde (2), Bobby Jenks (2) and Jeremy Accardo (2) collected saves. Ted Lilly had 13 strikeouts (and pitched for both teams during this contest).

Once again, thank you to everyone who participated. Hopefully, we'll do it again next year.
