Has Anyone Ever

PostSat Nov 17, 2012 1:23 am

had a 46 game lead on a team going into the last night of the season and without resting any regulars you get swept? Crazy, crazy game.

I lead the league in runs scored and my opponent gave up six a game throughout the season...here he limited me to 5 total runs in the series...did I mention "Crazy game"

The fact that you had a 46 game lead is mind blowing.
But you are correct, it is a crazy game.

Nev, I'd say your team was due for it, if there is such a thing as due in this maddening game of chance that we play. If getting swept on the last night of the season by a team over which you have a 46 game lead is the worst thing that ever happens to you in this game, you are truly fortunate.

At least the sweep happened BEFORE the playoffs started and, hopefully, is out of your team's system.

You ruined their 1pm tee time at Pebble Beach. They were obviously ticked about having to play despite holding a 46 game lead and just mailed it in.
