I made a key scheduling error this fall in Inwood as before the season began Bonao 's legendary manager Sabino
notified me that their team would not be able to play on the weekend of October 24th, 2010 b/c they would be in Santo Domingo playing softball and partying 
As a result, their record is frozen at 7-5 and they are locked into a playoff spot based on their .583 winning percentage. This will effect the playoff bracket as everyone knows Bonao is a top team and a bye this late in the season is just plain unfair. This schedule quirk should have been addressed earlier this fall. It was not. That is on me and for that I sincerely apologize to the entire league.
I've dissed and criticized other leagues for late season byes and now it's time for me to admit that I have fallen on my softball sword and made a mistake in judgement. Unlike those other leagues I admit my mistakes, asks the softball gods for leniency
, and promise to learn from my mistake in the future.Again I'm sorry.
On a positive note the league is alive again this fall thanks to the enthusiasm and hard work of all 14 teams and we should have a great ending to the season. Now let's see if Knockout can get off the canvas and make the playoffs.
Don't sweat it, Bonao would of finished 7-7 anyway as they never give a shit about the regular season. Your only mistake this year this was putting the Knockout team together.
ReplyDeleteKnockout will be a tough out in the playoffs.
ReplyDeleteDon't sleep on those guys. They can play
