I guess the best way to get over this past season's el foldo is jump right into the new season and put it behind me.
The other night, I was simming through a season and my team was just doing mediocre, going nowhere, I thought. Frankly, I was falling asleep, too.

So I kept going day-by-day, even a few weeks at a time, just simming and not paying much attention. Until I started to see my team rise in the standings in mid-August.

I was not sleepy anymore.

Seriously, I had given up on this team, a cardinal sin! "They" taught me a lesson, they did.

Long story made short, they came very close to going to the World Series (it was 1949 and they almost won the AL). Maybe if I had not given up earlier and kept on actively managing the lineup and roster . . .

That's how this game goes. Sometimes in the other direction from what you just experienced.
