I'm Bobby Cox

That's right, Jablowmi is Bobby Cox. 4 straight playoff teams, 4 straight first round losses. The last 3 teams won 104, 99 and 100 games, respectively. Ouch. So, in 11 completed seasons, the Jablowmis remain stuck at a single championship, 6 playoff trips, only 1 WS appearance.

No need to reply, just venting.

Stop complaining. There are guys who can get past .500 and are still playing. The playoffs are a crap shoot IMO.

Those are some killer teams to win that many games. You'll get your due.

[b:3d715633e0]Be PROUD, Jablowman[/b:3d715633e0], but also be humble and realize that HAL hates a winner.

Luckily, I treat the purchase of a 5-pack as a World Series victory.

And, I hate Bobby Cox.

I'd feel sorry except suspect each of you could take your one winning team and keep playing it over and over with minor tweaking and have much better records.
Instead, in the true spirit of the game, and following the threads it seems that you experiment all the time, play in wacky concept leagues and have occasion to play in all veteran leagues against each other and not just in auto leagues.
So your records probably are indicative of your approach to the games.
I, for one, would be delighted to have a team that gets past the 91 win mark.
