Maybe my guys are cursed, but its now 3 years in a row I seem to consistently lose the away games in the playoffs despite being the better team over the course of the season. I've managed to lose the last 2 playoffs 3-4 and am now down 0-2 in this one after yet again earning the "away" bad luck. Any chance of tying this to the best record? Here's hoping next year goes my way :lol: Updated Tuesday, April 16 2013 @ 3:21:18 pm PDT

However, with unbalanced schedules, is it really fair to go by best record, since the records are largely against a different set of teams? Steve

Ajax Joined: 05/24/2012 Posts: 110 Inactive	Nevermind--My guys lost even worse the next game at home. Maybe they are missing some "clutch" when it comes to the playoffs --Lol Seriously, What about using the all-star game results? It matches real baseball and theoretically should measure 1 league against the other. (What would be really neat is if the leading manager in each division got to setup the teams lineup/etc...)
