FMJRA 2.0: Our Annual Rogers Hornsby Moment

People ask me what I do in winter when there’s no baseball. I’ll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.
– Rogers Hornsby, Hall of Fame second baseman

So we got stomped in the playoffs by the Angels. So what. After two years as the co-doormat of Pete’s Draft League*, it was good to rise up and deal out the beatings for a change; finishing second in the AL West with a 91-71 record felt very, very good indeed. Now comes the time to look over the roster and see which players we want to keep and which players we’ll set free because they’re turning into pumpkins in 1972. We also ought to take a few minutes and talk to this Herzog kid; Ted’s making noises about wanting to spend more time with the fish next summer, and it would be kinda cool to let the Kid leave while he’s on top.
Ceterum autem censeo Silicon Valley et Hamas delendam sunt.

Time to lock the doors and go home until spring.
