Thanks! Thought I might be in trouble when I got the email stating Yamazaki was injured in game 3. Couldn't do anything about it at the time, but it worked out well. My real stroke of genius was getting Al Alley back into the lineup... and see him hit over .400 with 5 HR in the two series.

Congrats to DeepThreat. I'd imagine it feels even sweeter considering your team's 2039 finish of a single game out of the playoffs. This regular season was quite a bit less dramatic with your team out in front from what felt like start to finish.

Not to take anything away from your Championship, but you also caught a break avoiding Brooklyn. Props to HumYai's team for nearly repeating 2039's upset-laden playoff run. If Texas had gone down this year, there definitely would have been some "Conspiracy Theory" chatter. :D

Congrats!

I almost forgot this league still plays games and crowns champions in between insulting posts and trade protests. Wouldn't it be nice to get back to the games ...

2039 I had 12 players on the DL at once, including half of my lineup, 2 of my SPs, and 3 of my 4 critical RPs. At one point, I was something like 15 games under .500 and even spent a couple of days in last place at the height of all the injuries. It was a small miracle that we climbed back into the race and lost it in the next to last series of the season. Once we go healthy, we went on a roll that nearly carried us to the playoffs. Think we went 65-16 in the second half of the season... or something ridiculous like that. This year, I had a few injuries... but not the massive pileup... and we see the results. 2 WS victories in 3 years with a fluke season in between. We'll see how next year goes, as I expect some major competition from Cleveland, Baltimore, and Seattle (or wherever Dogbelly sets the team).

Sorry, HumYai. Didn't mean to diminish your championship from last year. My team in the JML just won the championship with only 96 regular season wins. The season my team had 110 wins, I got upset in the World Series. I've said it before and I'll say it again, "Get your team into the playoffs. After that, all those extra wins don't mean anything but Home Field advantage."
