My semi-annual personal ranting after one of my best teams went down in flames last night. Up 2 games to none, the 96-66 (with heavy rest down the stretch) Jablowmi 35s lose 3 straight to a 88 win team with a great manager, jsamia. The 35s were a Kingdome team that scored 952 runs (2nd overall), but were carried by the pitching staff (4.40/1.34). Starters: Fat Sid (15-5, 4.08/1.21), Sutton (21-8, 3.46/1.17), and Swan (13-8, 4.28/1.27). Pen included great years from Sambito and Brusstar and a decent one from Farr. Gave up only 724 earned runs, 4th overall.
Overall, the Jablowmis have made the playoffs 22 times in 36 completed seasons (20 of past 29), but have only 3 championships and 3 other final appearances - losing in the [u:7bd3ddcb7c]first round [/u:7bd3ddcb7c]16 out of 22 times!
OK, I feel better now.
