That's awful, nev, but playing as many leagues as you do, anything can happen.

:(

How did one of those teams in the Central NOT win 100 games. :?:

That is one heck of a race in the East. Where did you stand going into the last three games?

It helps to choke and get swept in the last series. :lol:

With such an excellent run differential, your team must have an unusally unlucky win-loss record in one run games. Too bad there's not a stat available that shows the one run game record. And that's where the luck factor really comes into play: winning and losing one run games.

I did that once too. Best record won my division and I tied with 91 wins for the second best record and lost the tie breaker for the wild card.

In the immortal words of Tom Hanks, "There's no crying in baseball!" :) No, really, that IS very tough luck. You play enough games, you see it all, I suppose. But look at the silver lining, you can postpone that new addition to your house for another week. You know, the one that is going to showcase your gazillion championship rings. :wink: :)

No cryin in baseball. Bazeball hav been bery bery goo to me. 8)

Did you have a dicey pen?
