So the Yankees won the Series, 4 games to 2…
My owner only gave me a "Fair" grade, since he wanted more than the LCS…
The Cubs canned Preston Gomez and the Mets sacked Torre (thank heavens!)…
…but somehow, Jerry Coleman appears to be keeping his job in San Diego, despite "leading" the Padres to a 65-97 mark.
Such a putrid offense (last in Runs, BA, and HR). Frank Tanana put up a marvelous 1.99 ERA, but weak run-support held him to 11-7 for the year. The other big FA signing, Dennis Leonard, fared even worse: 6-15 despite a 2.81 ERA. The career-ending injury must have almost seemed a mercy.
At least they upgraded at 3B: Jerry DeSimone posted a .761 OPS, easily bettering the .650 Luis Salazar struggled to last year. In OTL, DeSimone put in decent AAA work across 3+ seasons, but never got a chance. Congrats, Jerry!
(Yes, the second pic is worthless; I'm aware. Just being a completist.)
