Inside the numbers

Net Play- SOM great equalizer in making the country smaller. I enjoy playing other NASBL managers via net-play. There's nothing like cheering on your team on to Victory, then on the other hand when your opponent gets the roll the first thing you think, 'You are so lucky'! Below is a little run down of the 2008 playoffs DFW vs PCM. PCM wins the series 4-3.

Game Over Before the roll I was thinking (or hoping) for either an error or
single**. I needed Izturis to pull the old Tony Lama. Oh Well. Now I have been n the other side of this story too!
