I really wish last week wasn't the craziest week I've had in a while, or I would have had sooooooo much to write about. Granted, it's probably a good thing as with being busy I didn't have too much time to worry about sim baseball so losing hurt less.

Don't get me wrong. I'm ready to buy more and make another push.

But the loss didn't sting as much. It's simple to think "maybe I should have went Wilder over Wilcox." It's not crazy, most of the season I rolled out the five man squad. But it's the playoffs. Wilcox was 100% rested and it's not like we could hit the former Cougar Bill Ross anyways (we lost 4-2 game seven after winning game six), so it may not have mattered had Wilder thrown instead.

Oh yeah, speaking of Wilcox...

He won the Allen Award!

My ballot contained four Cougars, but I think at least three if not all four got votes from other people. No Cougar batter deserved the hitter equivalent, that went to Max Morris. Rankin Kellogg and Jim Lonardo took the awards in the Fed.

One last little note. I made three predictions at the beginning of the year and I got two of them right. The first was winning the pennant, obviously right. The second was winning the series, obviously wrong. The last was that we would have a top half farm by the end of the season. The official OSA report was released when the offseason started, and the good 'ol Chicago Cougars rank 8th. I'll get the listed posted (hopefully tonight), but with a "weekend" coming up as it is Veteran's day tomorrow, I'll have some time to do prospect reports. It's better doing them before the draft, as then there's a whole season to go off of.
