I'm sorry SOM!

PostFri May 10, 2013 12:34 pm

I know I've ben outspoken, but could you please turn off the "Screw over geekor" button?

8/10 teams have made the playoffs, 5 of those with the best record in the league.

All 7 of those lost in the semi's with my last of those 8 playing in game 7 tonight (again has the best record).

Could you please please please let me win just one of these?

You need to pay homage to HAL in order to get a little karma back.

I feel for ya Geekor, but how often in MLB baseball does the team with the best record win the World Series? On paper and in the win loss column the Giants were not even close to being the best team last year or two years ago when they won it all. Hopefully you being outspoken has nothing to do with it. I hope you get (another) one soon.

How ironically weird. I too, recently lost seven consecutive semi-finals. The odds of this happening are approximately
0.0000036.

What are the odds of this happening to two managers? What are the odds of this happening to two managers who both were reprimanded for posting non-baseball related pictures in the same thread of the same forum? That's a LOT of zeros after the decimal point my friends.

CONSPIRACY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o :shock: :?

Having said that, in the teams just before these, I lost two finals game sevens by one run and had a 103 win team bounced in the semis. These three teams were mixed in with four Champs teams that had me missing seven consecutive championships by two eyelashes and a whisker! (odds: 0.0000000027)

My last 2011 team (and with a league best record) broke the string of semis losses with a championship - so geekor, there's some hope for you out there after all!

You seem to be Strat's version of the Atlanta Braves ! On the positive side at least you are getting there ;)
