2079 Post season

Post by phishingtrip »

For the 8th time in the decade, Toronto goes up against their svengali Minnesota where we are 1-7 against the team of the decade. No disrespect to Chicago but 5 straight rings...

Other notes:
Notably Minnesota and Chicago made the playoffs every year for the entire decade. That's incredible!
5 titles in a row for Minnesota is going to be a tough feat to match.
Chicago has the greatest winning percentage but only 2 titles while Minnesota has 6. New York has the only other.
AL has won the last 6 WS championships.
Chicago has swept all 10 Cy Youngs of the decade in the NL.
Minnesota has earned 8 Cy Youngs while Toronto has earned 2 in the AL

I hope that's the case but Chicago is really taking exception to me announcing Minnesota as team of the decade.
Good WS so far!

Looks like Toronto is in hot water. He just lost with his A+ pitcher. What a choke job by Davenport.

Davenport, the most underproducing A+ I've seen.
It's a long uphill battle and I didn't study Chicago's adjustments closely enough in the NLCS

I guess 120 wins isn't what it used to be lol

Another reason why Tim is the man.

Wow, he has underproduced. I wonder if you're leaving him in games too long as he only has B END.

We will need to discuss this with the pitching coach who has been scared of the bullpen phone.
Quintana wins game 5 by rallying the team with a home run to reduce a 2 run deficit to only 1. Perhaps he is our new Lorenzen

as for 120 wins, no one in the AL could muster up 100, so it would seem fitting that ABE would favor the AL. sigh...

The grand finale, the "Goat" Davenport to try to bring home the championship north of the border for the first time!
