It was a great season for all I think. Most of the owners chipped in with quips, barbs and some memorable quotes throughout the season (though the NL more than the AL). I can understand the AL being a bit on the quiet side though, looks like a dog-eat-dog world over there and they need to concentrate. We have a great core of owners and I hope you all come back. Some awards that should be handed out:
Most Improved Team AL: Texas Rangers
Most Improved Team NL: (tie actually) Houston Astros and New York Mets
Most Disappointed Team AL: Minnesota Twins (1st to last in a heated division or was it the name change?)
Most Disappointed Team NL: Milwaukee Brewers (thought they could over take Chicago)
Most Futile AL: (tie)Rochester Flurries and Salt Lake City Multiple Spouses
Most Futile NL: Pittsburgh Pirates
*note: The Flurries may have set a record going 21 - 32 in 1 run games. Is that futile or frustrating? hmmmm turn that around and your in the playoffs and maybe the division winner.
Next season division profile:
AL North: This could be anyones division next year, they are all on an even keel.
AL East: Yankees all of a sudden has lots of competition.
AL South: DD's and CD's better not get complacent, your rivals are knocking on the door.
AL West: If the Slobs slip, there are 3 teams ready to pounce.
NL North: Ok, so it could take a while to knock the Reds off their perch, but Rule V and multi million dollar salaries could eventually take their toll. The Brewers could over take the Cubs next year.
NL East: Once the whipping post for the rest of the NL suddenly has teams no one wants to face. It will be a battle as to whom comes out on top next season.
NL South: Watch the Heat be in the middle of this slugfest next year.
NL West: 4 teams that can win it all.
Predictions for next year (and don't hold me to this!!!):
AL North: Could be any of the 4, I like the 'Cudas though
AL East: Flurries (sorry rwilson, more massages will be needed)
AL South: egads...DD's again and 2 of the wild cards also, which 2 of the 3 will it be?
AL West: Any of the 4, I like the Queerbaits and or the Logs
NL North: Reds of course and the Stangs as a wild card...someone may need to rebuild a bit.
NL East: 4 horse race...no favorite not because I am in this division either
NL South: Swingers with the Heat a close second..yeah, they are getting poised
NL West: Lous...surprised?
