Barnstormers Finals - Updates, comments, etc

Labratory is a former Champion, cristano1 is not. The strat Gods therefor favor cristano1. Of course, we could get our first 2 time champion.

An extra inning loss in Game 7 is extra tough, condolences on Hallerose and his team as they clear out their lockers.

This should be a good one to watch from the stands ! Join me behind home plate !

Here is the link again for folks who want to check out the league championship.

Another thing about Hallerose...he sports at .572 all-time winning percentage (second only to Panzer Ace), and has done it not just in ATG but also in several of the period formats (60s, 70s, 80s, 90s).

And a kind word for the other fallen manager who made the playoffs--the Last Druid did win his regular season head-to-head matchup against his foe Cristiano, 8-4.

But as for the finals, it is the top two from the Central Divison! Cristiano not only won the divison, with Lab winning the wild card race, but Cristiano also took 15 of their 24 head-to-head matchups!

Tied up, 2 games apiece.

It's Greg Maddux tonight for Cristiano, versus King Felix for Lab. Should be great!

And we are injury free now, heading into game 5!!

And it all comes down to Game 7. Wouldn't have it any other way.

And MAN, what a Game 7 it was too. Extra Innings, BOTH TEAMS Scored in the 11th.

Congrats to cristano1 for his first Barnstormers Championship !!

SOM personnel will be notified to contact both players for the awarding of their prizes.

And all 4 Championship playoff team managers will get to choose new cards to put into the game.

Congrats to Chris, who finally got the monkey off his back after losing in the finals several times.

Damn, intense game 7. Great job to both managers. And congrats, Cristiano!!

Congrats to Cristiano on a well deserved championship!

and a thank you to both managers for a thrilling game 7.

I'd love to know what new cards the four playoff managers are adding to the set. I've forgotten how many each are entitled to.

Champ - 5
Runner-up - 3
3rd and 4th - 1 ea

SOM was reminded of the cards when the request was made to them to award the prizes but yeah it would be interesting if they would pop in and let us know.
