On Sept 1, we added the rather talented rookie George Sisler, fresh up from the St. Louis Browns farm club. He needs some time to adjust, obviously, hitting 25 for 121 (.207) at DH, -0.4 WAR in his rookie season. But we do still have high hopes for Gorgeous George.
Once again, a generous application of foreign substances to the baseballs has taken us to the playoffs via wildcard. The Penguins played a very healthy 22-11 (.666) in the cooler days of the season, 86-76 (.531) ending 2nd in Division and 9th overall, and winning the wildcard race on 10/05 for our second consecutive playoff appearance.
It looks like our post-season might be a short one. We face the Plymouth Nighthawks, who had no problem with hitting the Crisco balls during the regular season (2-5 against them). The betting on the wildcard series is against us.
