For the second week in a row my teams were no fun to be around at all.

Metsies were in a middling Bronze division where four teams entered September within five games of first place. One collapsed, the other three all grabbed playoff spots - the Mets came third, four games out, and will play a wild card shuffle.

The Raccoons remain the essence of crummy in *Iron*. This week they ended up 82-80, drowned out by two 120+ win teams in their division. Unfortunately it looks like they're getting promoted, too...

Then I had a string of bad pack luck with them... how bad? Between 10 and 12 (not exactly sure) packs in a row without pulling as much as a silver card. This tacking on to how for the first two weeks every good card I broke from a pack was without fail a live corner infielder / DH type. Freeman, Sano, Rendon, Jose Ramirez, Yordan Alvarez ... I have ALL of them. Try building a team from that.

Yeah, it's been some rough humping around Portland.

At least they won three packs in the Daily Silver. That is the first tournament reap for me since opening weekend. And that first win back then was 200 PP, so I feel rough done by the dice-throwing baseball gods...

Speaking of dice, at least pack #2 FINALLY gave me a nice toy...
