The Redlegs managed to right the ship after that shocking losing streak and avoid relegation by 5 games. The skid didn't cost us a WC spot - even if we had played those games at the same pace as the rest of the season we still would have missed out - but we stay in Perfect. And we have 33 more packs to open to try and get a player or two that will help us be more competitive.

Btw - Huntley may have finished 53 games ahead of us, but we still won those two games against them and three more to boot!

Okay, on to teams with some measure of success this season...

The Quendas, of course, made the playoffs. And I'm happy to say that in the epic back-and-forth between us and the Vercelli Celts - we came up on top! The extra rest will help us set up our rotation for the playoffs. I think we have a good chance of getting back up to Diamond, our highest level back in the old Quokka days. We also sold 91 Eddie Mathews for 10K, which was over 7-day average. So thanks, anonymous buyer!

And that's it. One freakin' playoff team. And a whole bunch of teams who finished 1-3 games out of the playoffs. And three teams that were relegated.

So all in all, a pretty horse$#!t season, to use a well-worn baseball phrase.
