I was following today’s game on radio and game day. The ebbs and flows were very emotional. The guys on the radio didn’t sound that dissimilar from these game threads over the final 6 games of the season. The team bent but didn’t break and came through on the final weekend in an NL park. They achieved more than I thought they would. I had them pegged for a 4th place team. They were tied for 2nd place but only 1 game better than the 4th place team. So, I wasn’t too far off on that prediction, but I was really off on the win total and the competitiveness. I didn’t think this was a 90 win team when they broke camp. Most of all, I didn’t think they had much of a shot to pull themselves out of the post trading deadline death spiral. My thought was that Erod would have to turn around his season to stop the spiral, but he didn’t do much of a turnaround and they still didn’t collapse. They showed a lot of fortitude. Overall, it was a ton of fun.
