NLD 51 - The Ichiro Suzushi Han

We lost our own game in 13. Leaving 18 on base. Ouch

We just can't win a series these days. We've won like 2 of the past 13 or something. Brutal. Same thing happened at the end of the last season. Not sure what to do. Maybe pick the lineup out of a hat or something.

<sigh> Another lost series where we outscore the opponent. Just can't seem to put the pitching with the hitting.

On July 23 the Pylons were only 29-37 .440 but in a weak Central Division were only 2 games out of first place.
Then came this:

Well, we have some movement well ahead of the cap jump at 80 games make some moves. I can see why Big A felt like he had to do something. The Central is struggling so who knows if a hot streak can get you back into that race.
Will other teams pull the trigger on moves????

So guess who blinks, and destroys their team?

Since then the Pylons are 20-31 .392 and have become irrelevant in any play-off race whatsoever.
This type of management can only be described as idiotic. At least the team is well named. What a maroon!

When does Carsten Charles Sabathia Jr's Tribute Season 52 start? It's time to start thinking about the Transylvania Pylons.

Hey Falcon,

Yeah, it can be so hard to just wait it out. Our friend Dale has similarly overhauled his team and I'm sure the rating dropped (not that that is the be all end all for sure)

Maybe not naming your team "Idiotic" would help? :lol

Well Keith got me for a sweep last night winning three close games. Oddly, by scores of 4-3, 5-3 and 6-3. Hopefully just a blip for us.

Hopefully a blip for you, but we are going streaking!!!!!!!! Who's going streaking???

Do not really know why, but recently my team wins games and even series. First draft pick next season is in danger. Maybe I really did something right in making those moves.

We've been playing better and have the second best run diff, but it's really touch and go in the East. Jeep or JF look like locks for the WC and the West, but stranger things have happened.

13-21 over last 34 (only 6-6 at home) for my road-weary club... the front loaded home schedule has come back to bite us. Definitely don't feel like a lock.

Definitely looks like a 6-team race for the four playoff spots - unless Smokey gets on fire and wins 20 of the last 30.

Only race my team has a chance to win in the injury race (which I asked for with a high-risk bunch).
