One Game Away ...
We Have a Wild Card World Series
That Game 4 ending was simply bonkers. Someone on Twitter referred to it as a Double Buckner. Best result? We have a three-game World Series ahead of us. Too cool.

Robbing a home run and pretending you didn’t is more disrespectful than any bat flip, great addition to the game pic.twitter.com/Bi00uNDsgg

I'm Not Sad for the Reason You Think
Joe Morgan is dead. As the guy who joyfully put him on my Hall of Fame Death Pool roster five times every year in the hopes that he would give me joy with his death as a way to pay back all the years of listening to his painfully painful color commentary, I am actually sad. Not because we don't have a Hall of Fame Death Pool this year and I lost out on all his points but because I'm just sad for all the loss of life, period. Lou Brock. Tom Seaver, Bob Gibson. Whitey Ford. Over two-hundred-and-ten-thousand Covid deaths. I mean, what the every-loving hell?!
And because SLPL+ is supposed to be positive, I'll do something I never thought I would do: Celebrate Joe Morgan.
Joe Morgan: As a baseball-loving kid, I dug the Big Red Machine. Johnny Bench was my guy, but that infield was really something, with you and Pete Rose and Tony Perez and Davey Concepcion. Yours was one of the first teams I ever saw in person during a regular season game, against the Padres, and that game helped cement me as a lifelong baseball fan. I know I cursed your announcing thousands of times over the years, but today, remembering your playing days on the Reds, I am sad you are gone.

Love the Wild Card Serieses
Dunno about all y'all, but I am loving the Wild Card format. I could get behind doing this every season. But it sure sucks being a Cleveland Indians fan.

And Just Like That ...
This will be an interesting playoffs, with 16 teams heading into the Wild Card playoffs. Nothing changes for the SLPL+ this season, though … if you have a team or a player, you get their points all the way through the end of the World Series. Considering that five teams are within 10 points and 16 teams are within 50 points of DJ heading into the playoffs, I want to think things can turn interesting very fast.
Good luck, all!

Did Ripkin Die or Something?
Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot, mlb.com?! A single "Ripkin played more games in a row than another player" story would've sufficed, I think. Minutia does not honor an accomplishment. Seriously, mlb.com: Whiskey?! Tango?! Foxtrot?!

4-Base Error
We're Up and Running!
- We have 22 teams who have decided to join this stripped-down version of a league, fewer than recent seasons, which means all the lazy, apathetic, struggling owners from previous seasons are gone and the competition is more concentrated.
- Given the above, this will be a tough, hard-fought, awesome season!
- Our pot sits at — and will forever stay at — $550, which means our Overall Champ will rake $250 out of the pot and our Wins, HR, and K champs will get $100 each.
- Our standings page is up-and-running! It's an Excel spreadsheet, so use the tabs at the bottom of the page to see how things look. If we made any mistakes with your roster, please let us know ASAP so we can fix things pronto.
