- (This season) Finally won a division title again, and promptly turned the #1 seed and #1 offense in the league into a 2-0 deficit in the Division Series, scoring 1 lone run in each loss. To those keeping track at home, that translates to an 8-game playoff losing streak (and 2-11 overall when factoring in the original 3-1 Division Series loss).

On the bright (?) side, we did finally break that losing streak and avoid the sweep by winning game 3, but only because the Red Raiders managed to string together a 2-run 9th-inning comeback. Not optimistic about game 4.

So, to whichever OOTP deity I offended with my competitive level post many weeks back, I throw myself on your mercy. I have learned! I am humbled!

EDIT: And the Red Raiders promptly lost game 4 and are out of the playoffs again. So that's 3-12 in the playoffs since the infamous post. Contemplating changing my team name to the Huntley Minnesota Twins...

And in the latest season, the Huntley Red Raiders lose 11 of their last 12 games to drop from a seemingly assured playoff spot to out of the playoffs entirely. <sigh>
