NLD35 - The NLD Lives on!

Ok, completely off subject, but if anyone was wondering, YES, I *was* at the Giants game today and saw Lincecum throw a no-hitter!

I watched the final inning of it Joe. Never had the privilege to be there live for a no no. Congrats!

All right people, we got 10 minutes 'till game time, let's all gather 'round. I'm not much for giving inspirational addresses, but I'd just like to point out that every newspaper in the country has picked us to finish last. The local press seems to think that we'd save everyone the time and trouble if we just went out and shot ourselves. Me, I'm for wasting sportswriters' time. So I figured we ought to hang around for a while and see if we can give 'em all a nice big shitzburger to eat!

Nice Joe! Had to be fun watching Timmy pitch well.

Is there an unofficial SOM rule that 100 win teams have to lose in the first round of the playoffs?

Sometimes I wish for an 11 game playoff!

Some days it does feel that way. In the last two ATG Barnstormers events, I had the better team on paper only to get bounced both times.

yeah, it was a fun day. There really weren't any tough plays in the field. Just routine. I think one ball was hit hard all day and that was a one hopper by Smith to Posey at 1b.

Actually I think Jeep lost in the finals. I don't recall what happened to Abner, but do know he didn't win it all.

Ok, some quick comments on the luck factors:
Semper and Smokey had the most postives in the luck factors. Semper with great BP rolls and record in one runners. Smokey with bphrs and one runs.

Seems that several teams had some bad luck with Jeep leading the pack, "scoring" in almost every category.
Hawk and AT just behind, Hawk with bad HR and injury numbers, AT with unearned runs, rolling on his card and one run games.
GB was -3 with HRs and rolling on cards. I found a mistake with my calc, I was actually -2, not -3.

I'll post the updated ratings to actuals pretty soon. I have them, just have to have time to write the comments.

Joe Joe Joe....not the 1 runners again!

Played too many FTF games to not know that one run games come down to a split here or there by either team. Just the way the game is.

We love tight games. It keeps butts in seats and drinking the beer.
