Tim beats Alex! What does this mean for their seasons?


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.
