2006 team
101 wins
1st in hitting
4th in pitching

Excellent seasons from Kazmir and Bautista and Heilman / Jones despite playing in Coors.

Breezed through the regular season, lost in semi's.

GREAT IDEA!!!

Focusing on 100 win teams only:

70's league, [b:25e5fcb047]102-60[/b:25e5fcb047], lost in semis to JABLOWMIS (insert muttering here)

80's league, [b:25e5fcb047]103-59[/b:25e5fcb047], lost in semis (still no 80's rings, this one was the back breaker)

To be fair, I did win rings with an 85 win team and an 86 win team...so there is some balance I suppose ;-)

"Lost in semis to RMilter, madness ensued."

LOL, I remember the madness....and I wasn't even in the league

Since I'm an optimist, that looks like the BEST luck I've ever seen...for PWooten![/quote:9bcf9ff852]

Thanks OTH. It's the Christmas season y'know. Time for Rob Latorre to sample a little "holiday whine". :wink:

Hey! I'll have you know I am an equal opportunity whiner...Labor Day, 4th of July, Easter, Boxing Day in Canada, Missouri State Fair week in Sedelia....

Way too many to list for an infinite amount of perceived reasons. :evil:

Hi fellas,
My name is Jamey Carrol and I play some 2B, and 3B for the Cleveland Indians. Well two seasons ago I played for the Colorado Rockies, and we went on a hot streak wining our last 23 games to make it to the World Series,...only to lose to the hated Boston Blood Socks. That was really the agony of da feet!

[b:c753f18b0e]80's Game[/b:c753f18b0e]-I have lost my last five finals(4 96 win+ teams) and had another 103 win team lose in the semi's
[b:c753f18b0e]70's Game[/b:c753f18b0e]-I have lost four of my last five finals. Somehow my second best ever 110 win team snuck by in seven games.
[b:c753f18b0e]1969 Game[/b:c753f18b0e]-I have lost two of last three finals. 103 wins snuck through and won.
[b:c753f18b0e]2007[/b:c753f18b0e]-I have lost my last three finals
[b:c753f18b0e]ATG III[/b:c753f18b0e]-Lost my only finals appearance
[b:c753f18b0e]ATG IV[/b:c753f18b0e]-Ditto
[b:c753f18b0e]1986[/b:c753f18b0e]-Lost my last three finals(they didn't count though).
That's a pretty bad streak, considering it encompasses almost every game. I used to have almost a 67% finals win record. It is now well below .500.
