…especially this one
Recently, I wrote about my 8-1 series victory over the Bamm Beanos to put myself in a good position to make the playoffs (in our league the top four teams go on to the postseason). I’ve been keeping a close eye on Todd Ventresca’s Three Rivers Gamblers who are neck and neck with me in the standings. However, I knew that with a 8-1 series win, our commissioner, Mike Bunch could tie me as well. Not very likely but possible.
Well, I got this email on Sunday night from Mike.
Hey Tom I got bad news. I took 8 from Don so we are tied.
Later
How serious did I take this?
Well, I forwarded it to my buddy Brando to lament my situation. I also forwarded Mike’s email to Todd and his January opponent Rob Moore to appraise them of the situation. Not only that, I was halfway done with an article for this blog about the close race in our league and the possibility for a three-way tie for the last playoff spot.
Well, as you might gather after this long explanation, Mike was having one over on me. I found out from Don that he actually won three against Mike’s Bombers. The Bombers will finish with an 81-81 record, two games below me.
You really had me going, Commish. Probably Todd too, after he received my email. Don’t worry, he knows the truth, now.
Well played Mike.
