I suck

[MICHAELEVANS]

In the spirit of all the great managers who have been honored in these and the old message boards, and all the self-congratulatory messages posted, and in the spirit of full disclosure, I want to announce publicly that, as a manager, I suck. I back this up with my record:

Of my 12 completed teams, 4 of the first 5 finished below .500, including 4 3rd place finishes and one 4th place (to be honest, though, in one of those 3rd place finishes, I led the division the entire season until the final week, and finished 2 games out of the WC). Of the next 7 teams, all but one had winning records and finished either 1st or 2nd (making the playoffs 4 times, and the finals twice).

HOWEVER, of my 7 active teams, 5 are either at or below .500, I have 1 1st, 2 2nds, 1 3rd, and 3 4th places. Combined, my 7 active teams are 13 games below .500. After analyzing all this data, I can reach only one conclusion: whereas I may have known something about baseball during my completed teams, I now SUCK as a manager.

:mrgreen:

Geeze,

No matter how bad you suck, you cannot be worse than this:

If all goes as expected, tonight I'll beat Modmarks 16 games losing streak benchmark (for CDT Lonball leagues) set in CDT Longball II. :shock:

Post your teams, lots of help available.

Me too geez. Welcome to the upper eschelon of suckdom. I too am a card carrying member.

In all fairness, it takes managing a few teams to really get to know the cards and who plays well in what park. So, you can probably throw out your worst year in each format and you probably don't suck as much as you thought. If you don't then give us back your membership card. :D

Y'all want to see some serious suckdom, just check out my last 10 or so teams. Currently, I have one in Grindi's Vet League that undoubtedly leads the leagues in sheer suckiness. I check it out every morning and am in awe that I created that crap-- kinda like rubbernecking at a car wreck.

Really, though, it's just part of a nefarious master plan.

I'm setting you guys up.

Yeah, that's it.

My consistency lies in my inconsistency.

I suck, but only sometimes.

Guys we all pretty much know the important stuff. So although some seem to do a little better on a more consistent basis, luck is still a very big factor, so no need to be too hard on yourselves. Luck is fickle and streaky, enjoy the game :) ..........






Besides I suck enough for all of us lately, as 5 playoff teams that AVERAGED 97 wins should all be eliminted and Titleless by tomorrow night. (YUK) :shock:

[Free Radicals]

Geez , your not all that bad dude! I'm 530 games under .500 . When you approach that , then start cryin ! :D

[brifas]

What say we start a league for those of us with overall records below .500?

[Free Radicals]

I like that idea ! :D
