The last nine games this season for the Monarchs are three against Ohio, three against Brooklyn, and then three against Saskatoon. I doubt I'll be resting anyone when those games roll around this year. Just a great playoff race in the Zotti this season.
ReplyDeleteI'd feel a little better if my Pythagorean luck starting turning around though. Saskatoon is seven games ahead of their Pythagorean pace and Seattle is eight games behind theirs. That's a 15-game swing in a race I'm trailing by two games.
Can we start all games in the 8th inning? Please?
