I mean no offense to them, but they're not a team that belongs in this league (they lost 90-100+ previously in perfect) and yet Clarkson and Johnson got hit hard by them too (they're 14th in R).
It's kind of funny, actually. We've got 7 games coming up against the Soniqs and I'm wondering just how badly can the Raccoons do. We're finally in 3rd place and have won 7 of 10, but that's against 3 weak teams.
I'm tempted to stay in this league for another season (I originally just wanted to try one season) just to see how much better we can do. But I don't want to stay too long since I'm now finding the PP from achievements to be much more important since I'm not spending on this team at the moment.
Edit: Keefe and company get clobbered by the Soniqs in 1st game, 11-4. It's truly weird seeing so many good pitchers simultaneously struggling. Speaking of weird... Lava is leading the team (and would be 3rd in the league if enough ABs) with a .345 AVG.

Right on, I agree, it's the sheer number of great teams but you've faced and beat teams that quality just about every season....
I wasn't expecting you to have a 120W season, but 100+ should be doable. I think the laws of average are going to make you go through some good winning streaks soon.
