A LONG, frustrating streak comes to an end!
Posted: Wed Nov 23, 2005 8:00 amSince my last team to make the finals, I have had:
35 completed teams, out of which only 11 made the playoffs. Those 11 ALL lost in the semi's. :shock:
5 of those were up 2-0, only to then lose three straight. I had a 21 inning game 5 loss, and three other extra inning game 5 losses, just to mention some of the frustrating losses I suffered. Last night, a team of mine FINALLY reached the finals. Sadly, it came at the expense of a very injury depleted PJ squad. I feel bad for PJ, but man, the darkness has lifted. At last....a CREDIT! Yippee!
Now, there are lots of much better managers then me in this league, as my holding only three rings will attest to. And of course, I hope to win Ring #4 with this team:

It will be tough, as I face a very tough Griffith squad, with the usual stud pitchers:

But, win or lose, a weight has been lifted. So, appropriately, I give THANKS, on this Thanksgiving Eve! :)
On a side note, and a somwhat odd stat, during this 35 team streak, despite just a 31% of teams making the playoffs, my W% and games over .500 went up (from about 140 games over .500 to around 200 games over .500). Odd.
