Yup.

Based on a review of the stats, it looks like it should be a battle between my hitting and your pitching.

That's how it usually goes for me. Build a really good pitching staff, hope the offense is decent enough to steal a category or two every week.

BTW you should make Owensboro Greg join the board. (Of course he has to read the entire Achewood archive first.)

The TOUAMB archive can be done at a more at a more leisurely pace once he's here.

Well, here we are on the last day of the season and the Mayor and I are locked in a 5 - 5 tie.  Much as we predicted, he has 4 of the 5 pitching categories, I have 4 of the 5 hitting categories.  Stay tuned for Game 7.

Tie goes to AW, I believe.

I added Billy Hamilton for the express purpose of capturing the stolen base category. Since I've added him, he has zero steals. Need him to come up big today, but for all I know he may not even start.

Congrats to AW on back-to-back champeenships, after defeating my Banana Town squad 5-4. Also AW's third title in the six years we've had a league. For me, my third second-place finish, fourth time in the top three, but no ringzzzzz.

Owensboro Greg wins the third-place game over The Modern Dance 6-4.

Thanks all for a great season.

Thanks Mr. Mayor!  Good season, everybody.  Back to back -- I didn't realize.  WOOOO!!!!

I hope everybody had fun.

And this not even a keeper league.

I played in a highly competitive keeper league on Sandbox for something like six years. For much of that time, my team was colossally bad. But that coincided with the Phillies laying the groundwork to finally get good, and with that being the team I followed at the time, whenever one of their hot prospects got called up (Chase Utley, Ryan Howard, Cole Hamels), I grabbed them up. And our keeper rules were such as a guy you took off the waiver wire you could keep for like six seasons, if you wanted to.

I finally won that league in 2007 (perhaps not coincidentally, the Phillies made the playoffs that year for the first time since 1993), and looked poised to be successful for several years to come. And rather conveniently, when that season ended, several guys decided they didn't have time to play anymore, and the league disbanded. Yes, I was bitter about this.
