Baltimore's Leroy Winter sets a new single season record for:

Slugging Pct: .514 (Beating Barry Holmes record of .504 from 1998)
OPS: 1.234 (Beating Gael Pichette's record of 1.190 from 2042)
VORP: 146 (Beating Gael Pichette's record of 140 from 2042)

Way to go Eddie, Crimson, and the new blood in the RL.

Huge year from Winter. He's certainly earning that big deal.

After a fine run it looks like the Cyclones have hit rock bottom. Hopefully the sadness won't last long.

Thanks Alan!

[Alan T]

The new file is up!

Playoffs run tomorrow night

[Tasan]

Something happened this year that I don't believe has ever happened, and it made me very, very sad.

[CrimsonFox]

*does a little dance*

None of Hammersmith, Colorado, Baltimore or Tokyo made the playoffs?

[Chief Rum]

But, hey, at least I am in the Pythagorean playoffs.

What do you mean there's no such thing as Pythagorean playoffs?

Good luck tomorrow night, playoff teams!

So it seems we are developing a bit of a pattern in New York. We hold onto a playoff spot into September, and then, we collapse. Somehow though, we managed to win the tie breaker series. Congrats and good luck to the other playoff teams.

We did have a pretty good 5 month run of form. We'll bounce back!

Heh...I was just throwing that out there for fun, but I just actually checked.

Man, the last time not one of those four teams was involved in the playoffs was 2040...and sure enough, that was mid-October, a little over five months ago.

Yup, this feels all foreign and weird to me, so we'll have to bounce back quick.

[Tasan]

All very good answers. I was shooting for "This was the first season under direct human control that the Rancheros finished with a winning percentage under .400"

We sucked epically this year. Literally.

I believe he plays for Boston Haha!

How does Winter's year compare with the great years of those Chico greats of the 30s?

Also, I haven't looked yet, but I am guessing it was an extremely offensive year, at least in the RL.

Isn't it supposed to be a Yankee-esque huge offensive achievement to score 1000 runs in a season? My team scored 1067 last season and 1066 this past season, and I was frankly amazed at the numbers they put up. Which tells you how bad my pitching was.

Want more interesting results from this season? Probably the worst decision I have made in a real time year--not re-signing Sixto Cuevas. I decided to let my longtime closer walk and replace him with hard throwing setup man Luis Ramirez, who had around a 3.00 ERA in his career so far. Ramirez proceeds to post an 8.46 ERA and blow 15--FIFTEEN!--saves out of 36 opps, good for around a 56% success rate.

Ouch.
