Great season and a great series against Matt. Really thought I had him, but losing 3 straight...offah.

[Matt]

Wowser...we did it! Great series Jay.

Decided to change up my lineup for the last two. Took out my power guys Montalbo and Marlin...and sat an injured Sanchez...and put in Thomas and Turney and Lim. Figured if Marlin and Thomas were cold we might as well put Thomas in at CF since he has an 8 rating. Also figured might as well play Turney at 1B since he can hit for contact better. In Game 6 Turney gets an RBI and scores a run and in Game 7 he goes 3-3 with a run.

Hardwick though is the man with 3 RBI's in Game 7 as the pitching staff K's 16 guys, and Magana redeems himself after blowing Game 5 by getting out of a bases loaded jam with only 1 away in the 9th.

you out GM'd me! Great job man. It was a good series. We collapsed like hell, but you took it from us.

[Carlos]

Congrats!

[Spectre]

Congrats Matt! Great series overall.

Time to get back to overseeing the mess of my team now

[Aston]

Nice job, Matt! So I just noticed, you have a SGN Triple Crown as of two seasons ago in the BLB. First ever???

[Pat]

Another Commissioner Ring....





Kidding. Congrats dude.

[Matt]

Ya I was always in competition with Clay. I won the NCFA 1 time in 30 seasons (or whatever we went). Won the OSFL when I was new and no one had dissected the game yet. Finally won in the BLB after 20+ seasons. I think it has to do more with longevity than skill.

Another Commissioner Ring....

Kidding. Congrats dude.

Thank goodness for Brad. I think it makes it a little less questionable after the BLB's "Dark Days." To be fair I remember posting "everyone take a look at my roster now" when I took over 5 years ago or so. My key was rebuilding and not saying a word about a single prospect for fear of cursing them.

So long Ivan "Carlos" Olivo.

Bring on Rule 5 arguments and then the thread that gets ignored for 3 months until that day.

[Sully]

Grats Matt.

Free Agency is going to be pretty boring.

Let's trade. I've got a pretty solid block going. Just stay away from Pat.

But hey, he got another ring. Congrats to him and Matt!
