And it's a sweep! Roy White with a walk-off single in the 10th to seal the deal.

Thanks!

One of these days I'll edit my news settings so that I don't have tons of mail...not sure if it'll be today though.

I haven't checked since Friday... went 90-72, ended up w 2nd wild card.. and am having an 10-0 post season so far (up 2-0 in gold finals)

[baseballonly]

can't believe this, blew silver world series 3-0 lead, now it goes to game 7.

Who should I start? Verlander at 80% rested or a Larry Dieker I just bought off auction house (so 100% rested)?

[ElementalKnight]

In what is certainly the coolest thing I've achieved in PT, the Gold Saucer Wonder Squares won their first championship in D369 by sweeping the finals—and Warren Spahn pitched a no-hitter in the clinching game. Don't think I'll ever top that.

Id go Larry

25 minutes until Game 7 of the World Series against Gal's Heroes. My Patrick Corbin (2-1, 4.70 ERA) against their James Paxton (1-2, 6.30 ERA).



Should I let the actual Raccoons fly on autopilot from time to ti-NAH, too much of a control freak!

Edit: HO-LY CRITTER. My team is 11-8 in the playoffs, so all series have gone the distance (we played in the wild card), and in the World Series we have clawed and scratched back from 0-3 …!

[acclaim99]

Well I got too happy about the 10-0 start... as I ended up 11-4, losing in game 7.
But was happy i went from 2nd wildcard to 2 games into championship w/o a loss.

I still move up to diamond right? meh, team still needs work.

[Izz]

Well, we might've got knocked out in the Divisional Series but we still got a couple prizes once the season finished up (congrats Jacksonville Beach Sea Birds, who went 11-2 in the postseason on the other side of the league). Aparicio took home a Great Glove, and Yogi Berra was not only awarded a Great Bat, he also won the MVP.

[Westheim]

The one time it counts, a James Paxton card holds up… … lost in Game 7 without getting the sticks up much at all, 6-2.

[SayHey1]

My first World Series title. I guess it's welcome to Perfect League time!

[Kushiel]

I am pleased to announce that the Yaks just won their second consecutive Perfect League Title. As I embarrassingly strut like a peacock, I would like to thank the Base Stealers for an exciting, hard fought World Series. <tips cap> Both teams proved that we belong here. Good luck in your future league. Both teams deserved to win.

[Maddox]

Well, after being knocked out of the playoffs it was nice to wake up this morning and see that I had gotten points for

Pitcher of the Year - Bob Ojeda
Great Bat - Kevin McReynolds as Right Fielder
Great Glove - Kevin McReynolds as Right Fielder
Great Glove - Ichiro Suzuki as Left Fielder
Great Glove - Luis Aparicio as Shortstop
Season score of 890

That is a nice little bump.

[Kushiel]

Nice haul!

[Will_L]

None of my teams made the playoffs this season but there were some awards
Corsairs: Great Glove: Roy Campanella-C
Platinum Stick: Campanella, Machado, Kiner

Reavers: Great Glove: Mickey Rivers-LF
Subway Rats: Great Glove: Ivan Rodriguez-C, Willie Wilson-LF, Ken Griffey-CF


Had extreme luck with 3 packs picked up by the Corsairs! A perfect Tom Seaver and a live 96 Trevor Bauer. Both go into the rotation for season 9.

Congrats on the title. My Suns lost in the first round in your league, game 4 was a 20 inning game that ended with Mark Belanger on the mound for me lol. Gotta say I was rooting against you just so i can say I lost to the champs. Good luck in Perfect.

[Morug]

New season, new name for my silver league team...Wall Street Penny wise will perform at Moneyball stadium next season.

Upgraded a little bit my Expos too with Maddux in the rotation and George Brett at third base.

[Thalion]

Hey, Kushiel, looks like we’re in the same league again. When did you change your team name?

Thanks! I have a soft spot for Belanger as he was my SS for a couple seasons back in Silver and Gold. Its great winning a WS title, but a bit humbling entering Perfect League. It's like moving from the kiddie table to the adult table at Thanksgiving...lol.
