The Sweet Taste of the Semis

Some might call it match fixing, others might call it managerial savvy. It is true that with just hours to go before the match and an injury hole in my lineup, I plunked down $150K on a high-skill set piece guy in inadequate form and took a risk on him in my lineup. The payback was two sweet goals against BenditintheWind. BUT THEN it got even sweeter when that guy scored two more goals last night in a crucial, crucial 2-1 win in my league that will likely be the difference in avoiding autorelegation. Again I say: Best. $150k. Ever.

On the other hand, maybe it's just the Bonafide's intimate familiarity with being the victim of match fixing in high-stakes crosstown B-Cup matches that has taught us how to do it "Brooklyn style"... (see, e.g.: 2/12/04 FCB 2-3 BFC, 5/22/03 FCB 2-3 BFC, both losses on late "penalty" calls, along with my related press releases)

On another note, I am thinking that my semi match against KCU will be the first time in B-Cup history that a player will face his former team. I purchased Gonzalo Villabajo from Jimmy on the open market earlier this season. (Thanks Jimmy...) I am not aware of any players serving more than one B-Cup team other than Brad Denton and Dom Carmona, but I don't think BFC and Direwolf have played one another since that trade. Is anybody aware of other players, or will this be a B-Cup first?
