Couple of comments:


Dube looks like he's going to be a heck of a player. Even if he has no business trying to steal bases.

Yang had a heck of a year, even if all he did was hit home runs, there must have been 2-3 players on base every single time he hit one. I wonder how many grand slams he had.


Lots of Chico players up here on these awards!

Colorado had a winner of the Take the Money and Run award! Just wasn't the one that had all of the hype during the pre-season

Congrats playoff teams. I'll be rooting for my vanquisher, Chief Rum and his Drunkards err I mean Hooligans.

Oh and after seeing the file, I'm really mad at my team. 2nd in batting average, 1st in OPS, but only 5th in runs scored??? Very frustrating, especially when combined with the best overall staff ERA in the RL.

[CrimsonFox]

Wow congrat Chief! I knew you'd make it back buddy! Congrats to Teach too. GOnna be a fun battle and stop selling yourself short, you were kicking my butt most of the year with all your 9-1 weeks.
Should be a fun playoff.
Congrats Johnny too!

Gonna be fun!

Man, that was a tough out for you there, Tasan. Thanks for supporting me going forward.

Your season reminds me of some of my third place finishes. Based on what you posted above and knowing you tied for the RL top Pyth record, I am guessing you actually had the better team this season, maybe even the best in the RL altogether. It sucks to have a season like that, I know (has happened to me often).

If you're looking for someone to blame, blame Teach. She picked against me for the second season in a row, so that really motivated my guys to get it done and show her up.

Good luck to the other playoff teams tomorrow.

Heh, heh, really, I still have no doubts about this team. I don't doubt it's a good team, but some very good teams are staying home while this one's going to the dance, and I would be lying if I said I knew this team was better than those. I believe I face an uphill battle tomorrow night.

C is for Championship. That's good enough for me...

Great year from the Marlies, but i don't have much confidence in a championship run. We're good, we had some good performances, but there are too many black holes on this team.

Good luck tonight Teach, Crimsonfox and Chief, but not too much luck, we're gonna need a bunch of it for ourselves!
