Raccoons managed to get relegated with an 11-game losing streak right near the end of the season.
(deep breath)
I have major interest in leading them into the forest, nailing them with their front paws to some tree stump, and then just leaving them there.
The Mets? From nine games up to five-and-change, then to two, and while I slept, what?
They finished their season 6-10 in their last 16 games... and were only salvaged by their lone chaser, Cleveland, doing no better than 7-9, and the fact that the teams didn't play each other anymore. So the Mets came out 89-73 and are in the LDS as the #2 seed, and the #5 team by record. Losing in the LDS and any wild card team advancing will keep us in Bronze. FOREVER. Oh, and the team we're facing in the LDS? Merely a team that swept them in a 4-game set in September.
Not really worth it to set the rotation to four guys, only for having to reset it to five at 9pm...
And Ralph Kiner? Batted a modest .217 .........
