Damn right!
I watched her match against Mertens and kept asking myself "why does ESPN keep putting that drag queen on TV"? Turns out it was Andreescu's mother.
A legend in her own right!

I noticed that as well. Still not sure what happened, unless it was a side effect of me tinkering with the schedule so the Frogs and Oats could play each other. Anyway, it didn't effect the final standings, so just another game to pad your stats.Rams Fanny wrote: ↑Fri Sep 27, 2019 11:56 am Do we know why the Oats and Meat Gayzers played an extra game?

I sat you for the final game for that purpose.

Guessing the schedule manipulation at the end of the season to get an Oats - Frogs matchup messed with some stuff. The real question is did the players get a bonus game pay...because virtual wlu_lax wants in on that.Nonlinear FC wrote: ↑Fri Sep 27, 2019 2:44 pmEscandalo!Rams Fanny wrote: ↑Fri Sep 27, 2019 11:56 am Do we know why the Oats and Meat Gayzers played an extra game?

Meant to add earlier the detail behind that. You tried going from first to third on a single (you were out), and on the slide you suffered a hand laceration. You're still able to play, but it may affect your hitting.
