For the first time in club history, the New Orleans Penguins have won their division in Diamond403.
The win came very late in the second half of a season that can best be described as an extended slump. For September and October, we were 14-18 (.438), finishing just barely ahead of the Hollywood Knights (mgr: Nicolas), the NCE Wild Card winner.
A red-letter day, right? A stunning 87 win season, (.537) every manager’s dream team!!!
Well, it is our first Diamond season, at least we didn’t completely wash out and get blown back to Gold (yet).
Zack Greinke won the ERA crown, go go Zack. Bonus kippers in your pay envelope. We
are impressed with that one. Look ma, we have at least one card that’s performing
above expectations.
Don’t think a 16-9 season’s going to win any Cy Young awards, tho.
For the playoffs, we face the Pack Rats (mgr: Packrats), who we haven’t encountered since May (a single 1-2 series). His team won 99 games, we’re not dripping with confidence. We expect a blowout, in the wrong direction.
“Still, ’tis better to try and fail,” or some such platitude.
Not happy, hitters. You sucked, pretty much all season.
Pitchers, you guys did okay.
