Wait, you didn't win!

Congrats, as usual, to Valdosta. Winning six league titles in eight years in downright ungodly. But you've set the gold standard for what it takes to win in these parts and owners will forever be attempting to reach the mantle that your record sits upon.

muns · 09-28-2008, 10:41 PM

Alan man thats heart breaking...... You have the best team ever seen in FOOL History, and for you to be in another amazing classic....... my hat tips to you sir......

I dont think we are ever going to see another team like yours again, and you still arent done yet...

Sorry to see it end that way, you guys jumped on my like no other and i thought it was over...... I hope at some point I give you a chance for a re match, cause this was truely a series for the ages

Okay, so I leave the thread to go write my prospect article, and this happens? Holy Sheeeeeeeeeeee...

Can't wait to see how Game Nine goes (yes, I am way behind you guys).

To borrow a term from Philly fans in real life, if Alan's squad blows this, the new international symbol for choking will be the Peanut.

Jeremy....jeez, we have sent 150 PMs to each other and I never knew your name until now

THANK YOU!!!! At least someone here is sophisticated enough to pick up on that one

For the teams with uniform/stadium changes, those will be made in this file. And welcome the Baltimore Gothams back officially, too.

I can breathe now!!!!!

Thanks for the kind words, It has been a long long long road... From finishing last, to not bidding on Free agents that would have done better than my spects, to just finishing in like 4-6th every year...

I honestly would have been content with loosing this game, as the comeback in itself was a feat I think..... But to do it all on Alan and Valdosta.... Just nuts...... Ill savor this one

I addressed this after I posted it.

You know, that's a damn big stadium for a little league softball team. Maybe we're in the wrong business.

Naw, Pablo Garcia trumped Hernandez last year. And Garcia's still playing with you, too!

Anyways...a walk off double play....seems anti-climatic. if i were Muns I'd throw this one back and wait to win one the old fashioned way!!

Na........ Although its cheap and I admit it...... I take it. I think we both had some weird stuff happen to both of us during this one, especially with 3 of my power hitters with guys on base bunting..

Has games 3,4,5,6 always been together with no travel day between them? I guess I just never noticed that before and should have. I was stupid about how I set my rotation.. without that offday it definitely caused my pitchers to all pitch one day too soon on their second go around which was the definite difference in the series...

As smart as everyone says I am, for me to make a stupid mistake like that is just crazy.

Yeah, it's been that way for about seven or eight seasons, maybe longer. It's effectively a TV schedule thing.
