Congrats to rburgh

On his most excellent sweep of Cristano in the Barnstormer's Finals!

Thanks. This means a lot to me, coming from the guy here who has taught me the most.

I was VERY unhappy with my team coming out of the draft, and this is one hell of a (nice) surprise.

Yes, congrats on your surprise rout.

Another * new * Barnstormers Champion. I will be notifying SOM to contact you and cristano1 to make arrangements for your MLB tickets and SOM game.

Congrats rburgh! With 6 of the 12 teams going after players to fit their lefty parks in the Finals rburgh came up with the top group. A top notch manager!!

cristano did a great job putting together a team to beat all of those lefty starters - but you just never know how the playoffs will play out.

I guess I should complete my list of mentors here after the Druid.

Andy Cummings, for his indefatigable management of is various theme leagues. I highly recommend these types of leagues for people who want to learn the card set.

DonFESQ - he's still the best manager here, especially at high caps.

Cristano - he has driven me to refine my analysis workbook just to keep up. He's still ahead of me in that regard.

BruceF - for teaching me about platooning, and playing in Petco.

Nev - for being a sounding board for some interesting discussions about the relative value of players.

SR2012 - for teaching me about righty parks.

OuttaLeftField and BDWard - for teaching me about lefty parks.

And thanks to all the regulars in Andy's theme leagues, the Armchair league, and the Goldrush league, for forcing me to upgrade my game just to keep up with them.

Thanks all. This is a very addicting hobby, and I still have much I need to learn. The playoffs are a crapshoot, and for this event I had the hot dice. And I walked off in the 9th in game 4 with Larry Walker out for the rest of the series, otherwise I would have been terribly likely to blow a 3-0 series lead. Dumb luck is your best ally here.

Congratulations rburgh , excellent team .

Wow! Not just a great managing job, but the best post-victory message ever! Superbly done!

Congrats to both Rburgh on winning the 2015 Barnstormer's championship! And to Cristano for being the 2nd to last team standing! What MLB parks will each of you get tickets to as your prizes?
