Under Coop's rules, Mike actually needs to win 55 games total this season or he gets the boot. I'm betting the blind monkey is on speed dial.

I picture a Gollum / Smeagol type dialog.

Gollum: We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious. They stole it from us. Sneaky little hobbitses. Wicked, tricksy, false!
Smeagol: No. Not master!
Gollum: Yes, precious, false! They will cheat you, hurt you, LIE.
Smeagol: Master is our friend!
Gollum: You don't have any friends; nobody likes you!
Smeagol: I'm not listening... I'm not listening...
Gollum: You're a liar and a thief.
Smeagol: No!
Gollum: *Murderer*.
Smeagol: Go away!
Gollum: "Go away?"
[Gollum laughs as Smeagol begins crying]
Smeagol: I hate you, I hate you.
Gollum: Where would you be without me, gollum, gollum? I saved us! It was me! We survived because of me!
Smeagol: [stops crying] Not anymore.
Gollum: What did you say?
Smeagol: Master looks after us now. We don't need you anymore.
Gollum: What?
Smeagol: Leave now, and never come back!
Gollum: No!
Smeagol: Leave now, and never come back!
[Gollum screams in frustration]
Smeagol: LEAVE! NOW! AND NEVER COME BACK!
[Gollum is silent]
Smeagol: [looks around] We told him to go away... and away he goes, Precious! Gone, gone, gone! Smeagol is free!

Mike's hair is looking better...

The one run games thing is a bit of a fallacy. After looking a bunch, I found several examples of my teams that were 10 or 15 games on the + side in 1 run/extra inning games... And couldn't find any where they were below .500.

With a few exceptions, my good teams do rather well in one run games. My bad teams, which are usually 75 win teams, finish around .500. Nothing shocking there but, if it my pattern holds form and my team remains inadequate in one run games, I may be forcing myself out of Coop.

Had a team last season that was 14-30 in 1-run games, but finished 84-78 overall. Its tough to be 16 games under .500 in 1-run games, but 6 games over for the entire season.

Missed the playoffs by 2 games. Sucked.

This is amusing to me. I am a believer in what MikeT preaches about anti-tanking, and because of that, this is hilarious. It is the equivalent to watching someone take a massive spill, but when you realize they are not hurt, you can enjoy their misfortune. hahahaha. Good luck fixing this, MikeT!

I havent looked at the forums in months , mainly because of MikeyT . He seems to have run off everyone that didnt agree with him. This is the best thing i've seen here EVER !! LOLLOL

You can leave again. Or, and I know this sounds crazy, just not read my posts.

Mike, it really is more difficult to not read your posts then read them since you post so often.

The viewing public is sure to win.

Mike, it really is when reading a web page my eye tends to take in the big picture including posts that I would rather not read such as 113,709 of yours and growing. It would be just as easy for you not to post. That seems very simple. Take a break get outside enjoy life!
