[One Great Matrix]

It was nice to see boxscores & statistics for players I was more familiar with but maybe I should have stuck to all-time Mets with the competition at PL level. I was hoping, realistically, for 69-82 wins... ended up with 58. So it wasn't that realistic. But Strawberry, Hernandez, Cone... if those 3 off the top of my head were a little better for the week, maybe we would have not been relegated (not that my loyalty might not be fun in diamond this week...sort of what goes down must come up effect, maybe)... nobody else besides Viola really gave me any freebies or surprise performances that helped win many more games than projected...with ALL the Mets I have I could probably at least played over .500 at Perfect. Anyway, only so many weeks to experiment with... I will say, a couple players I'm familiar with & know as baseball players (Gooden, Cone, (not just Mets...like Tony Gwynn even if he doesn't have HR power or the best glove)) are a little bit more interesting to play over players like Tris Speaker or Carl Hubbell who I don't really know much anything about & picked up on ratings alone. If you go straight for the kill, you can get pretty disappointed about all the almosts where you lose a 5-game or even a close 7-game series. And it seems like a lot of teams go all in. I laughed at how many baseball fans there are playing, though...or even just math whizzes all around; you know why should it be easy once we've gotten to the top level with allll the best teams? Kind of hard to judge who to play sometimes, still.

The losses were hard this week but it was easy to kind of enjoy each victory compared to other teams.
