Chance certainly plays a role in the short playoff series. But you have to give your team every chance to win every game if you want to succeed in the playoffs.

I could not resist checking out your 107 and 111 win teams (since I have no such successful teams of my own to marvel over).

The 111 win team was down to a roster strength less than than 74M at playoff time (in an 80M league) due to 18 roster drops during the season. Loss of so much roster strength will hurt in the playoffs despite the great success during the season.

The 107 win team is a different story. I suspect Ron Guidry was more than just perplexed when he went out to pitch game 1 of the playoffs and found 8.16M Cano, 6.97M Mackey, 9.60M Boggs, 7.94M Murcer, and 10.41M Stearnes ALL ON THE BENCH while the scrubs were shut out on 2 hits. I understand that one might forget to reset their lineups after resting starters at the end of the season(??), but you just can't throw away playoff games like that and expect to come out on top in the end.

I admit that I did not check out all of the teams that you referenced in your rant. But to blame the game and want to see a refund policy "for this shit" is a bit much. Had to call you on this.

Your evidence does not support your conclusion. You did not give your teams the best chance to win.

Wow great investigative work Boyer...I didn't look at his links and chalked it up to bad luck but it sounds like there is a pretty good reason afterall...

I checked the records of the other teams in 107 win team division. 83-79, 74-88, 74-88 WEAK
The winner's record 88-74, the rest of the division 93-69,86-76, 82-80 STRONG
Bottom line the 107 wins was misleading, like a NCAA basketball that fattens up on cupcakes.

false flag?

Sorry if I offended. Just trying to provide a different look at the issue. Your perspective seemed pretty harsh. As much as we like to blame HAL - sometimes there are reasons why things happen as they do in this game - I thought I saw a couple of things that might be helpful to consider in the future.

Soundslike a signature line.

And just who or what might mastermosser be and why is it whining? I don't check these boards much anymore as they are basically dead so I missed the deleted post. And it sounded so promising...

man, you missed out.

So I gather.
