Well boys, another season in the books. For the second year in a row, and 11th in the last 15th, we crown a first-time champion.
Remember when…
...we moved the draft to the last weekend in February so we could all make it except TJ couldn’t?
...we bumped up surveymonkey’s traffic for a couple weeks with all those surveys?
...TJ beat Tim 5-4 in week 1, which put him in 4th place, which was the only time all season he was lower than 3rd place?
...Ben got engaged?
...Adrian was in third place after week 3 and never made it back into the top 6?
...James posted the following on the blog:
So I'm not just doing these weekly matchups coincidentally the week I happen to be in first place for the first time since 2012, thanks to Richie's commish note, but simply because I just did one in my other league and I was bored at work and realized we needed some more blog fun
and then never posted another weekly matchup preview for the rest of the season?
...Tim failed to meet the IP minimum in week 4?
...Alex, TJ, and Kurt cracked the 1,300 win club, which every manager except for Adrian is now a part of?
...we held the first ever DD golf outing?
...Colin shutout James in week 6, tapping the shutout pool incentive and sending James spiraling on an out-of-control 5 week losing streak where he went 10-39-1 and fell from 1st place to 9th place?
...Colin got engaged?
...Jarrett was the first to 1,300 career losses, which every manager except Ben and Kurt are now a part of?
...Colin won the HR Derby challenge?
...Richie won his first WWE belt in mid-sesaon?
...the Neighborhood rumble kicked off with Kurt vs Adrian and James vs Ben for the play-ins?
...Jarrett didn’t start a catcher for 4 weeks?
...Tim passed Paul French for 14th on the all-time wins list?
...Richie shutout Adrian?
...the league saw 14 trade-deadline deals, doubling last year’s mark which was a record of it’s own?
...quantity beat quality?
...we finally got to Fenway?
...Kurt won the first ever Neighborhood Rumble?
...James was 14 games behind the #6 seed with 5 weeks to go, posted a 33-12-5 record over the last 5 weeks of the season, and missed the playoffs by just 2 games?
...Aroldis Chapman’s stat correction reverted Richie’s 10-0 shutout over Jarrett to an 8-0 shutout, which gave bumped Richie down to the #5 seed and Jarrett up to the #2 seed, which gave Jarrett and Kurt playoff tie-breakers that they both needed in their first rounds to advance?
...Jarrett became the first team ever to earn playoff bye weeks in consecutive seasons?
...Kurt won the WWE belt?
...Tim popped his postseason cherry?
...The #5 seed continued to be the worst seed in the playoffs with a first round exit, dropping that seed’s record to 4-9 in the first round?
...The #1 seed didn’t win the title for the first time since 2011?
...Jarrett won his first ever Diamond Dynasy Chalice?
