So, my FTP theme team Suburban Sox, who finally got promoted to Gold this season after approximately 1,067 seasons in Silver, entered the 9th inning of their Wild Card game with a commanding 7-2 lead...only to give up 7 runs. They got one back in the bottom of the 9th (yay, moral victories?), but still lost 9-8.

Meanwhile, back in OOTP19 PT 1.0, my (old school) Huntley Red Raiders entered the 9th inning of their Wild Card game with a 6-3 lead, only to give up 2 runs. At least the original Red Raiders managed to stem the tide there, with Dennis Eckersley managing to retire Mookie Betts even as Mike Trout stood on second base representing the tying run, and hold on for a 6-5 win.

Here's hoping these aren't ominous harbingers for my flagship Red Raiders, who will be facing the Miami Jeters in the Division Series. Miami escaped the Wild Card game with a wild...well, why don't I show, not tell?
