I was checking up on a little of our history to see who might have been here the longest time.
New Bedford Nasties Season 30 and Greensboro Season 31 longgg time - Hate to see you go Nasties
But Deronimo -- Since Season 20 !!! that's what 10 years !!!
Longevity - I bet you have some stories to tell - sits down with popcorn and a brew.

I'll spend my next few days being sad about the outcome and then it'll be time to pick myself up for next season.

I suspect I'll have to move one of my posts, as my trainees are likely going to be a little too expensive to maintain this roster makeup. We'll see if the Exiles can take that next step before the Season 44 overhaul.

Yeah Deronimo has been here for a rather extended period. Not quite a decade but I think it is since the first Obama administration. He should have promoted the first season I was here but he guessed wrong on GDP and the other team had a guy go off for 63 and Deronimo was dropped in heartbreaking last minute fashion. Since then he's always been a bridesmaid but never a bride. Then again if not for a epic fail on my part guessing GDP when we met in the semis I could have advanced. Can't exactly run much smack on him as he beats me like I stole something (23-6 lifetime) though I have played him pretty even for the last four seasons.

Sorry to see the nasties get the boot, but they have been teetering for a number of seasons now. I could be next, season 42 will be touch and go. Deronimo also is flirting with disaster as much like the generals they are aging rapidly. Ditto for sparty. Ladson took a step back this year, but that roster Stoll has upside and youth so they will be tough. If Exiles is still here they are liable to be pissed and will be hard to deny. Same for Cal though in many ways it's becoming now or never for them. Bunnies have a hard road to travel but seem headed in the right direction. The blues will have at least five returning participants perhaps as many as seven so things could turn contemptuous.

Club red on the other hand will get more new blood transfused in than Keith Richards following a good weekend. Fierce cannot be slept on though I think they are still in the category of the original cast of SNL aka the not ready for primetime players. Then again are ANY of us here ready for the wail of the banshee that the move to that rareified represents. No matter who takes the final they will be hard pressed to be able to compete on the next level just because of the massive upgrade in talent required.

Game one of the finals is in the books and the Dogs win at home.

For my kitties, trying to make up a 15 point difference may be too much, especially with my starting center out.

Injury! 2 weeks.
Details: stomach virus.

Of all the times to eat some bad prawns! oh well.

Will need to update my prediction - Dogs may be able to close it out in 2, rather than 3.

I thought the Kitties had a good chance of winning Game 1 and even stop watching before the 4th quarter. The game could of gone the Kitties way if the GDP were not off or even used at home. I would be very surprise if the Kitties lose at home in Game 2.

Given the context, stomach virus makes no sense.

3 10:30 48 — 47 S. Vasilev (A) puts up a jumper from the baseline
3 10:30 48 — 47 C. Lvkun (H) is called for a shooting foul.
3 10:30 48 — 47 C. Lvkun (H) is assessed a flagrant foul.
3 10:30 48 — 47 S. Vasilev (A) injured on the play.

So Lvkun gave Vasilev a stomach virus mid-game?

I suspect vomit

Getting a stomach virus mid-game on a flagrant foul makes NO sense. What did he do - shove something down his throat mid jumper? Maybe something equally bizarre will happen game 2 to equal things out.

Yeah the easy fix is when your 2 week injury is at the end of week 3 they just change the reason to illness.

League title finals all tied up. But with deciding match at the dogs' place, cats are not expecting much good news.
