Wiggs, I did my best. Trooped from over 400 points back to finish within 100, but there wasn't really anything I could have done to shut the door. I was really regretting not pickoing up Akebono after I saw that he beat Big Show, but even that wouldn't have been quite enough. Great job again, Wiggs and good season, everyone.

Farn - So sorry man.. that REALLY sucks... I would say that the Lita injury is what cost you because she would have had some more TV time for sure if they were still fueding.
Wiggs takes a BIG hit too with having to keep Orton now and out likely this entire season.
Outstanding work MITH with the standings.
I have a new team name I am psyched about debuting but will wait til after the draft.

MITH...can't believe you'll be able to keep HHH. Mysterio's the best??? I demand a recount! ;)

Bond, I gotta say you have been a great addition with a large amount of enthusiasim for the league which is outstanding.
Hopefully Mike D gets back to his crazy trading ways next season. His hands were kind of tied this season.
Just noticed MITH is able to keep HHH which is a shock, didn't even pay attention to that. Kind of upsets my predicted draft order.

Thanks for the kind words Great One. Everybody here seems-for the most part-to get along really, really well and that makes it that much more enjoyable for me.

Well it really sucks that I was pushing so hard for Angle to pass orton and now I basically lost my top 2 guys, but oh well. Maybe this year will be like my 1st where I had batista hurt all year then when he made his return I was able to make a 3 year run.

Yeah that Angle Invitational almost worked out perfect... then wound up backfiring.
But yeah, absolutely I think Orton will be back strong as a heel.

MITh, you put up a hell of a fight. I have to admit I was worried that you were going to catch me for about 6 weeks.
Not only will my team be weak without orton next season, but even worse because I will be picking last and Kev and GOs top scorers are not 1st round picks.
yeah, once I saw Wednesday morning the results of the Smackdown taping I was pissed. I was left hoping they wouldn't air the backstage skit with Big Show.
1 EFFIN POINT!!
Oh well, at least I don't have wiggs pick. Funaki is easily the worst high scorer in our 4 season history.
We need to set a date for keepers and decide who is collecting them. I'll assume its wiggs again but let's sort this stuff out. We need to update the rules sheet and clarify or adjust anything that people have concerns about.
Thanks again MITH. I'll be spending the 2 weeks going through all your spreadsheets to try to find a 2 point error. :)

I just saw in the rules thread that First place finish (or whatever sucker he trades his draft pick to) always drafts last and gets first waiver priority. Person who drafts last will collect everyone's keeper lists, to keep the choices secret.
Even if my keepers are ranked 8th and i finish 1st and Miths keepers are 10th and finished 2nd he will still get a better pick then I will? I dont think that makes sense and I cant find anywhere that was posted.
We had this discussion before, at least I think we did. If I get a chance later, let me try to search for it.
Need to get some yard work done first.

Thanks MITH. I'm disappointed I ended up ahead of Species, but glad that Eddie G. outscored Cena. I was sweatin' that one. I still remember picking Cena over HHH in the last draft because I had HHH the year before etc., and Cena went and filmed a movie........lol. Cena came back strong though. I think I'll keep him.

Great season, wiggs and great run at the end, MITH.
Mike D - shaddup! Booker, Cena, Basham and Carlito are a pretty sweet set of keepers!

First off, congrats Wiggs, you done well.
Secondly, even though I acquired a guy with a now collapsed lung, the RVD trade didn't kill me in the end. Sitting with UT/Reigns/#1 pick is better for me than Y2J/#1
