Congrats to the Ballbusters, who spent a good bit of the season in first place and had the good fortune to be in that same position when the last game ended. Congrats also to the Tamales, Foxes, and Expectorators for finishing 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, all "in the money". As for everybody else -- just wait'll next year. The races for 1st/2nd and also for 3rd/4th came right down to the wire. I tuned in a few times yesterday and can say for a fact that the Foxes started the day in 4th, moved to 3rd, dropped back to tied for 3rd, and finally finished in 3rd on our own. I'll try to work out who owes what to whom in the next few days. Thanks again to Hans for handling the many moves this year. We should buy him a beer or two in Myrtle. ICC -------------- Ditto. Ballbusters pulled out a squeaker over the Tamales, going down to the last day. Looked like it might have been closer for many teams for awhile, but teams dropped out of the running over the last few weeks. Congrats to Gabes for the win, and Sobo for making a good run at it. Thanks for running it Fox and Hans. Mags PS- Gabes, don't try to make it sound like the DL moves had anything to do with the results. You won fair and square, for the same reasons as previous year's winners. '06 was no closer overall than '05, 03, or 01 for example. --------------- Congratulations to Gabes! Good draft, good luck and surviving injuries...the keys to winning. The 'Stripes actually spent a good deal of time in 1st place before the break but tailed off precipitously in late July and never recovered, like the proverbial soft shit sinking in a warm rain. Biggest surprise? The Red Foxes! Congrats to Fox on an impressive turnaround to finish in the $. Nice work by the Tamales and the Expectorators. On to the playoffs. Go Yanks! TE --------------- Gabes- Congrats on the win. You just had too much hot sauce for the Tamales. And kudos to Fox and Hans for all the work during the year. See you guys in MB, Sobo --------------- Congratulations to the Ballbusters, this year's champs. Congratulations also to the other moneywinners, Sobo, Fox and Terry. They made it very interesting down the stretch. Thanks especially to Fox and Hans for their administrative work. It's a great league because of your efforts. I will miss you guys at Myrtle Beach - have a great time. Now, I turn my attention to rotogolf. I'm hoping for a rebound. Prep --------------- Thank you. Thank you very much. Now bend over. All of you.
