Amazingly enough, I somehow won 4 straight over DAL... game 1 was a 12 inning nailbiter with both teams going into the last inning with 1 run on 5 hits... after that the games were all close but we never trailed, winning 6-4 (game tied most of the way), 3-0 and 2-1 in the big final.

Since 1950 when the Marshall Cup (international association playoff) started, only 3 teams have won the it and the Roosevelt Cup (US/CAN/PR) in the same season. It's actually fun to have a second title to play for, makes losing the US championship easier to swallow.

The team from the non-North/Central America bracket is the Cardiff Dragons; the Welshmen are underpowered but they have a tough lefty ace and THREE other lefty starters, who usually give the Pacs real fits. Would be a bummer to lose, but nice to have gotten some vengeance against Dallas on the way!
