Well, Thalion, your run of knocking me out of the playoffs comes to an end unless we both make the WS. I'd take that.
I'm facing a 2nd Wild Card slot again it looks like.
Trying to keep up with Everett is crazy. I upgraded my rotation with perfect Randy Johnson and Koufax, in time to throw 3 lefties at him in a 3-game series, 'cuz he's a little less fearsome against lefties.
Game 1 was my perfect Johnson against his.
Mine lasted longer, but the game was a slugfest with every pitcher including relievers giving up at least a run, and I lost 11-7.
Koufax won for me in game 2, 7-2, w/ a CG 5-hitter, against his number 5 starter a 93 Maddux. Thought I had a great chance to take 2 of 3 with my Sale going against his 96 Greinke, but lost 2-0 with 9 LOB.
So much for any chance of catching him. Playing well enough to get a big lead over the 3rd wild card contender, but he doesn't lose often enough to make up for how far back I am.
