The Green Lake Cowboys capped off their best-ever season by making it to the World Series in Silver .287! Unfortunately we lost, but it was a fair matchup pitting the two top teams in the league during the season against each other. So how did we get there?

Team Stats: The Cowboys were dominant on offense, finishing in 1st place in the NC in Runs and Batting Average (over .300), and in some other categories I'm not remembering. I also bought a bunch of pitchers during the year, and we ended up 1st in Bullpen ERA. The focus on contact offense led to some other areas hurting, like Home Runs, Starter ERA, and Defensive Efficiency/Zone Rating.

MVP: Rod Carew ended up being the MVP of the NC, despite being a bronze card. He led the league in AB, Runs, Hits, AVG (.344 I think), and OBP.

Other Notables: Kirby Puckett led the NC in All-Star voting, but must have finished the second half of the year more modestly. I moved him to RF which he plays better than his natural CF, and he led the team in HR and was near the top of the league in RBIs. Bill Madlock also had some great hitting stats, but was predictably atrocious in 3B defense, coughing up 20+ errors.

Playoffs: The highlight of the playoffs was definitely the divisional matchup against the Bossier Parish Cavaliers, who were our division rival all season. We went down 0-2 in the series at home, then stormed back to win it 3-2 in a reverse sweep. The final game even had us getting a needed 3 or 4 runs in the bottom of the ninth! I think Ichiro got the walk-off single to win it.

The downfall of our playoff run was definitely the bullpen, which was a strength during the season. Guys were regularly getting shelled for multiple hits and home runs in the later innings. Steve "Blown Save" Bedrosian was particularly bad.

In the end, the Portland Brew Jays were the better team in the season and the final, and fair play to them because they didn't look like they spent much money, and may have been F2P like us. I'm just disappointed because that may have been the Cowboys best shot at a title. On to Gold!
