Everything was going just fine, then...

Brief history of the last couple of seasons.

My Kansas City Lords won the pennant during the 2234 season but lost the Finley Cup. Actually we got swept 4-0. Ouch.

The next season we added an allstar caliber RF but came up just a little bit short (3rd) place.

We were looking to put it all together for 2236 and a glorious run at the cup, but a very slow start saw us at .500 (30-30) at midseason was disappointing. Then a great reversal during the second half and the Lords were sitting at 56-40 with 20 games left (since All star break, we went 26-10). I was out of the playoff run, still 10 games out with only 20 games left. Time to finish strong and head into the next season with great momentum.

Then, it seemed like we lost hope and focus and the net ten games we went 2-8. Ouch but we can still finish strong. Last ten games - 2-8 AGAIN.

Not Good.

Offseason - We lost some of our key veterans as the owner cut our budget, but most of the team returned with some exciting young players.

Great hope for 2237, facing some good competition the first week but not that tough. Another yuck. 1-9 start. OK time to rebound. 2-8 over the next 10 games. What has happened to my team? Over the last 40 games, I am 7-33.

If this continues, I just might be moving the team to Cleveland and renaming them the Spiders.
