The Magpies' owner (me) was bemoaning blowing 1 million PP on Shoeless Joe, when today he's substantially cheaper. On the other hand, Magpies' Shoeless was conference MVP and LCS MVP and Diamond Level Series MVP and thereby the Magpies get a shot at one of the last 2 PL trophies.
The regular season was expected to be a blowout as the Magpies were the only PL vets in the division. 115 victories later, it was off to the DL playoffs for the 29th time. Luckily, I wasn't home to witness the nail biting 3 games to 2 DS win over the wild card team. (A team I beat handily 15-4 during the regular season). Next up, were the Pigeontown Pigeons, proud owners of 28 perfect cards
on their reserve roster.
. They attempted to reverse sweep me, but lost in 6. Finally, the Fair Play Cheaters were my finals opponent. They were proud owners of the rare PTCS Cy Young card. They also lost in 6. And it will be the 6th time in PL for the Magpies.
Edit: Just noticed the venerable Mariano Rivera blew 12 saves during the regular season.....
