Congratulations Tim. First win of your
career. I think I can speak on behalf of everyone and say that we're
glad it was against Alex the week that Kris Bryant made his major
league debut. So now that Tim has broken the seal, lets see how this
compares to the first seasons of other Diamond Dynasty managers, and
see what the fate of Alex's team is having suffered this loss.
Unfortunately, Yahoo! Does not show the schedules for 2003, so Chuck
and Jarrett are not included.
2004:
Tim's childhood best friend needed nine
warm up weeks before finally notching his first victory. Paul
whooped TJ 9-1 in week 10. TJ went on to grab the 4 seed and
suffered a loss in the first week of the playoffs, marking his season
as a failure.
Tim's childhood nemesis, who used to
break windows at his own house and blame Tim, also joined the Diamond
Dynasty in 2004. Jason Dwyer got his first win in the first week of
his short career. However, this does not count. Why not? Because
he played Paul week 1. Jason followed up his first career win with a
9-0 shutout loss to Colin. Jason got his first real win week 5
against Adrian who later went on to lose in the first round of the
playoffs as the 3 seed.
2004 in the books: 15 weeks to get two
wins, and the losers of those matchups failed to advance in the
playoffs. Not looking good for Alex.
2005:
You know, Paul and Jason weren't great
fits because they didn't really care. You know who would be perfect?
Kyle! Kyle got out of the gate hot with wins in his first
three weeks, the first of which was against FirstPickNextYear! I can
only assume that this was Richie's Team....
Checking...
No, it was Adrian's. Adrian did not
get the first pick the next year because Richie came in last, with
the team name WorstTeamEver? He must not have remembered Paul
the year before. Anyways, Adrian went on to miss the playoffs and
Kyle probably does not remember being in the Diamond Dynasty. Still
not looking good Alex.
2006:
Well, well, well... Drew Donovan joins
the league. Week 1 was a loss for MaDrewber. Week 2 Drew drops the
hammer on the same Alex Gentilli that just had the hammer dropped on
him. Despite 44 home runs from Jermaine Dye and a 25-25 season from
Eric Byrnes, Alex could only go so far as the second round of the
playoffs before Adrian gave him the boot.
So, Tim is tied for second fastest
first win of all time, and another new member breaks the seal against
Alex. Statistics show that Tim will have a Drew-esque career with
possible shades of Kyle, while Alex will once again have another
playoff failure. Just the facts, no personal bias.
