H2H league, held down the lead all week until today. 
Well, the championship isn't mine this year, but 3rd place will by-golly!

We don't play on the final week of the season, so we're one week into the finals.
Down 4-6 right now, but the pitching sets up near-perfect for me. I like my chances.

Do you play the championship over a span of 2 weeks?

Yep. Quarterfinals in Week 22, Semis in Week 23, Finals are Week 24-25. Nothing on Week 26, using the same logic that FF leagues use when there's no game on Week 17.
I think we might do that next year....2 weeks for the finals. Maybe bump up the Semi's a week earlier.

H2H is a pretty big toss-up anyways, but at least with two weeks you're getting a result that's a little more "true."

We only play a 20 week season with the championship being week 23, which was the week of Labor Day.
I made the championship game, but lost.

GB Javi and Yovani tonight. K's are in the bag.
I'm in an interesting situation: Fifth year of our league, I'm in the finals against a guy who was the doormat for the first three years. Horrible, every year. Last year he does respectably and lucks into the playoffs, and I edge him in the semis. This year, he strikes gold offensively (A-Rod, Hanley, Morneau, Sheff (who I got from him), Ordonez), but his pitching is brutal. Even still, he probably has the best team just on sheer offensive strength. My team is the opposite.
So Sunday's slate wraps up and he's up 6-4: all offensive categories (although only steals is out of reach), and he's up on saves, 3-2. He sends me an email saying phew, that was close, I'm spending my winnings on a GPS (first is $350, 2nd is $250)...not apparently realizing we still have a week to go. His lineup didn't really need adjusting (mine does. A LOT), but I didn't say anything. I'm debating when I should break the news. It's a weekly transactions league btw, so he's not really missing out on anything. If he ends up winning, it'd be hilarious to tell him at the draft next year, although I really feel I should tell him before then.
He has 8 starts left, I have 4, but I'm up 3 Quality Starts and my pitchers are a lot better than his. I also have 3 closers to his 2, so I figure I can close the gap there as well. ERA, K's and WHIP are all safely in my control.

My opponent tonight started Verlander, Westbrook, and Sheets. Owned.Green94 said:Huge W's from them last night.
H2H Dynasty League (must keep 10 players)... I just won our World Series! Started the season 0-7 and then went on a tear... great pitching from Verlander, Shields, Snell and Vazquez carried me through the middle of the season. Made a trade at our deadline where I dealt Kazmir and Clemens for Sizemore.

Sitting in the 2 week championship right now down 9-1. I was the #1 seed, and cruised to this point. Then.....Sheets, Griffey, & Pujols go down this week. Oh yeah he has Holliday!
Not to mention I have Bedard & Bonderman on the DL. Ugh what a way to end the season!

Sweating out a save or maintaining a 2 run lead...definitely not in the bag.
