Ouch, baby. Very ouch.

This was too "good" to leave in the comments:

I got worked over good this weekend. I made the mistake of checking my team Saturday night at a friends party, clicked log out and walked away. Apparently, the PC did not log me out and someone proceeded to sell all my players. I had CRON, K2, Ballack, Carson, Dempsey, etc all at 3 unit discounts. Yesterday was very painful see my team roster empty and then working out filling it back up with the meager 100 units. My season is officially done.

OUCH!  Some friends!  That's just brutal, and I'm SO SORRY it happened.  If it had been me, I'd still be madder than Shane Long and Robbie Keane put together!

We have a friend who started changing his team after a night of drinking and passed out before filling that last spot.  He woke up the next morning with only ten players on his roster and no points for the week.  And forever more, trading players while drunk and screwing up will be knows as "pulling a Spealman".

There was also someone in the comments last week who sold Torres - I think it was Torres - by accident as their touch pad hit "Sell and Leave Empty" rather than "Sell and Replace".

(And yes, Yahoo! know about the problems with searching and trading players and are improving the game for us.) 

But this... this is just beyond the pale.  Anyone else have a horror story that they'd like to share?
