I would like for it to be known that Galt is always right and I should have never doubted him. You are correct, this league is completely and utterly fucked. There’s a bit more to it than this, but this is essentially what went down:
-Illegal rosters were supposed to score zero points all season
-But teams with illegal rosters were accumulating points for over half the season.
-Then on July 8th, Parker decided to try enforcing this rule.
-On July 20th, Rocketmen noticed he never got points for the Thursday/Friday games after the All-Star break.
-On July 23rd, it is revealed that the reason Rocketmen didn't get any points was because a trade was made that "illegalized" his roster.
-July 24: Pretty Rake Machine realizes he has been short a minor leaguer for several days and has not been accumulating points.
-July 26: Kirchner suddenly drops from 40-something points to 11 in one day
-July 26: I drop from the mid-80s, where I have been for weeks, to the low-70s and 5th place to 10th.
-July 26: (Chambers’ words): something went awry when (CBS) reran the stats. This should be fixed on Monday at the latest. Don't worry about it. (I didn't)
-July 28: (Chambers’ words): The stats are completely fixed now.
-July 29/To date: Yet I am still in the mid-70s and now Kirchner has all these inflated stats that weren't there for 3+ months of the season.
And that’s about it. I lost 10+ points and five places in the standings even though my stats remained completely accurate. The problem is, the stats were rerun to accommodate teams that violated the rules. This inflated everybody else’s stats, so now I am buried in 10th place. Seemingly overnight, Kirchner’s HR/RBI/Runs total increased by 25/90/90, as did the rest of his stats. And yet, despite my obvious outrage, Parker hasn’t done or said a fucking thing and this problem will never be fixed. This league is a joke. An abomination. A disaster. A clusterfuck. A (negative phrase of your choosing).
Meanwhile, the payouts for the top 3 teams have still not even been decided. I mentioned this a month ago and still nothing has been done about it.
So yeah, thanks for inviting me into this league. Jerkass.
