Collingwood traveled to Edmonton to face the Eternity in the LCS. Although the Magpies won 100 vs. 96 for my opponent, as wild card team, we open on the road. Game 1 started like the Division Series, blowing a 3-0 lead and after game 3 were down 2 games to 1. But, phoenix-like, our Magpies soared to the heavens in the next three games, scoring the winning runs in the 9th inning each time.
In the finals we get to face the Battery Park City Tramps, winners of 114 regular season games. A near perfect roster stares us down, only Cap Anson (99) and Roger Connor (98) don't make the grade. Of these, players I have just 8 and the rest will just see what they can do.
Game 1 is a crush. The Magpies are flattened 15-4.
It's time to take my sweetheart out to dinner.
They say a watched pot never boils, so in this case, as I wasn't watching I find that Game 1 was the last loss of the season!
