The R. Kelly song, the thonk made up for it even the baseball purist in me. It was obvious that you were spewing, thonking, whatever.

Well, there's a team...the Singapore Sluggers in my division this week...that opened up a 4 game lead in the first 6 games and judging by their history it wasn't exactly an unsustainable pace. So...not saying it's IMPOSSIBLE but a wild card try looks a loot more doable. And there are 5 REALLY good teams in my conference and a few others, too...so...You know, I'll do the best I can...at some point I have to either figure out a way to beat them or move down to diamond...or wait...for those favorably arranged Perfect leagues.

I wonder what's involved in winning 115+ games every week......must know the game pretty well.

Although I'm not exactly firing on all cylinders...the team definitely does better when I am closer to MY best...as far as teams doing well when you're not at your computer, I mean, you pretty much have everything set so it's not that surprising, except for little tweaks you KNOW have a good chance of working out FAVORABLY.

Then there's the more GM side of things. I have a few weaknesses there that aren't necessarily permanent. It's not really a matter of being optimistic or pessimistic as much as it is remaining aware of ...the possibilities, the "realistic" ones, I suppose. Plus, I swore I wasn't going to mind much how the team did so long as I was able to set it up to my contention, win or lose, but I'm in that area where I win 90-105 so it's impossible to ignore entirely. If you told me I was going to win 90-105 7 seasons in a row I would have asked how many championships? Oh, zero. How many conference championships? 0. Whaaaaat?
