Mining old leagues for fun inbox messages

I'm sure I'm not alone in finding one's self mining old leagues and reliving the past. That's what we do here at ATG.
Here's an inbox Blast from the past, featuring two legends...

I'll use Munich Man's personal signature

Early congrats go out to Munich Man for one of the best turnaround's I've
ever seen!

After losing 2 out of 3 to the gorilla, 60 games in, he was stuck in limbo
with a 23-37 record (.383 win %).

Our hero then rips of a 60-39 record the rest of the way (.606 win%) to
rocket into first place and a final 3 game showdown with Adrian for the
West.

Very well done, an inspiration to us all, and a lesson for many that ought
to find it's way onto the boards. How to resurrect from the dead, by
Munich Man.


Good luck to all tonight!

PJ

I just love fading down the stretch. That's what I get--as Munich Man can
attest to--for giving my team a sleep-related name. Perhaps I should
have been Golden Showers instead.

Adrian.

I miss the good old days, but I do enjoy the here and now!

One more. If Jeffrey ever read the boards he'd yell at me but pretty sure he doesn't. Backstory on this one, I used to ride the commuter rail to work, and at one stop, there was some graffiti just before the stop that said, "A Poem About Concrete". That's it.

It cracked me up every day I saw it, which was every day. So I decided to name my team "A poem about Jeff's Speedo" to bust my brother in law's balls hoping that he'd some day get around to putting a team together and join a league with me.

If you win the Championship do we actually get to hear a poem about
Jeff's Speedo? (not that I'm holding my breath for that)

Perhaps...we'll see.

The name was intended to bust the balls of my brother in law, named
Jeff. However, he hasn't created a team since the inception of ATGIII,
and I got sick of waiting so I launched this team in advance. When he
gets around to making a team sometime in the next decade, I'll really
give him a name!

I don't know Jeff or his Speedo, but every time I
see that it cracks me up.

It may be the funniest team name I've ever seen.



Good luck to all this season. I think my "27
Yanks" are gonna suck.

I promise to write a poem about Jeff's Speedo if I can luck out a Series
win here. Since I'm a lousy poet that should give you even more
incentive to win.

Big congrats to the Poem for rallying from a 3-1 deficit to take the
Series in grand fashion. Congrats also to the Ghetto Trash and those
Queens Park Rangers for their regular season runs. Thanks to everyone
for a fun season.

In celebration of the Poem's win I humbly offer the remainder of my
poem:

A poem about Jeff's Speedo

Dedicated to PJ Axelsson's brother-in-law Jeffrey

by a Cretin



Jeff's Secret Speedo



I think that I shall never see,

A suit like that of ol' Jeffrey,

Red and blue and black and green,

And other colors you haven't seen.



There's really nothing it does lack,

Except for covering Jeffrey's back,

And up front, if I may be so bold to say,

there's very little in the way.



Jeff doesn't flaunt it on the street,

It's a secret thing he likes to keep,

He rarely takes it off the rack,

And never wears it in the sack.



But when that full moon does glow,

Jeff really puts on quite a show,

in front of the mirror he does prance,

and does his slinky Speedo dance.



Except one night when the misses came,

and caught Jeff frolicking without shame,

she never got his wierd routine,

so now Jeff's on the singles scene.



THE END

AWESOME!!!

Too funny
