The Regular Season

The service monkey that does the typing for this blog was being held at a CIA blacksite in Bangladesh.  He managed to escape and ran to a sweatshop making Jihad Joe action figures that were being shipped to Pakistan.  It is only by the kindness of the people of Agra India that our service monkey is back safe in the United States of America.

In the meantime a lot of softball was played.

It looked like after the Titanic disaster that was D League, E League was only going to be our Carpathia but it turns out there was a logjam of 3-2 teams in the second round and THE TEAM made the playoffs.

Before we get to what you did to get us there, let's take a quick peek at 2016.  It was a year of garbage.  Yeah David Bowie died and Prince died and Carrie Fisherdied and some self-centered orange fuckface won the Presidential Election but THE TEAM went 13-17 on the year.  THE TEAM was down in every offensive category and up in strikeouts.  Ouch.

Let's check you out
