The dysfunctional spineless ****show that is the Portland Raccoons that were three outs and four games away from the Crown of Crowns until Lee ****ing Smith pissed it all away will start their 21st Perfect League season and the second in their current stint. No matter how much they try, they won't possibly produce as much heartbreak as last week. Them little stinkers.
Granted, pack luck was insane the last 10 to 12 days. There's numerous newish players on the team, including Santana (reward), Nathan (market), Smith (pack), Gilliam (pack, but a while back), Robinson (reward pack), Trout (pack), and Thomas (pack). There is still a packed (96) Griffey jr. not on the roster (but might replace Strawberry before long), and we need a catcher now for sure. I sold the perfect Lindor from yesterday and some other cards and now sit on 48k PP, which I will doubtlessly do something stupid with, because stupid people do stupid things, and nobody's more stupid than me...
Nothing really ever changes about the Rebels who escaped relegation to Gold by a single game in the previous season and who aren't making any sort of PP. By lucky chance they popped a Mookie Betts last week. Mookie Betts batted .246 with two homers in 45 games. Mookie Betts is the camp fires surrounding the wretched remainders of the Army of Northern Virginia on the retreat to Appomattox Court House. It ain't gonna get better for a long time, and for the moment, it's gonna get whole lot WORSE.
Leaves the Accountants, who were promoted back to Perfect where they didn't belong in the first place. In their Perfect division they immediately find their bums audited by mcdog's Saints, so right now we're frantically shreddering every piece of paper that looks vaguely like a transaction log. They're dead. They know they're dead. I'm not even exaggerating. The first three games were against the Saints, and the Accountants were entirely wiped out. Nothing but more and more audits awaits them.
Welcome to another season. Another season where something inside me will die. Something inside me dies in every season. Welcome to another season. Welcome to another death.
