BACK TO 1985 - Finals - London Knights win championship!

[BC Manager]

Ok, we will use Saturday's Pick 3 draw -- I assume all 4 of those states have Pick 3 draws? Anyone know? I think it's just Sunday, when some states don't have draws.

why not tonights?

[BC Manager]

It's always been that we use the Pick 3's from the day after everyone picks their states. It's in the rules. I think it would be unfair to change it now. Especially since some of the numbers for tonight have already run.

[BC Manager]

1. Mav - CA - 048
2. BigAlric - DE - 128
3. T.Rich - OH - 337
4. RR - FLA - 167

So, first round order is:

1. Mav
2. BigA
3. RR
4. T.Rich

well things are not looking so good for the Hakers in the Finals, as our 2.04 ERA doesn't seem to be low enough to beat the Knights, who have done a great job shutting down our once mighty bats.

but look out BC, Frank White, and his over 1.000 slugging percentage, returns to action tonight after missing the first 5 games of the finals.

the combeack starts tonight!!!

I can't believe my eyes! Everyone should check out what happened in Game 6!

Not a bad way to start a comeback, Hak!

Congrats BC on winning the 1985 Championship.

Ojeda was one walk away from a perfect game there in Game 6.

BC way to go. I'm glad your team didn't let a little thing like a no hitter get them down. I guess BC can no stand for Big Champion

Hey congrats BC, on your first "Decade" championship. Great series....although the last game was a bit anti-climactic. Some real good pitching in that series as there were 4 shutouts tossed. 3 of them were by the Knights, but the one by the Hakers was the no-no by Ojeda. BTW, for those keeping track at home, that's 5 years, 5 different champions. Gotta love the parity in this league :)

[BC Manager]

Thanks for the congrats guys. I wanted to wait til Hak posted before saying anything, but he doesn't seem to be on the boards very often.

It's very nice to finally have some success in this league. I am quite amazed to win it all given the teams I was up against. IMB and Hak both had great teams who had great season, and I was lucky to get past both of them. Having said that, I love my team and am thrilled the core will be back in 86.

My post-season MVP has to be Jack Morris. He gave up 1 ER and 9 hits in 24+ innings, including giving up 0 ER in 16+ innings in the final. Makes up for going 2-7 in the second half of the season. Joe Neikro and Buddy Bell proved to be very valuable late-season acquisitions, too. Perhaps the most key move was my picking up Ken Griffey off the waiver wire. With the injuries I suffered, he stepped in and stepped up in the playoffs. (He was also the only one to get on base during Ojeda's no-no.)

Congrats on a great season and great series, Hak. Hope your Game 6 glory makes up a little bit for not prevailing in Game 7.

Onto 86!
