IBC Playoffs 2025

[Orioles]

Perryman, what's the deal here, man?

You have:

1. The Greatest Player Ever
2. Both Chourios
3. Junk
4. 2 whole Lopezes (not a record by any means, but a good start)
5. Handelfry AND Elorky
6. The Miz

No reason you can't rally and give us a series!

[On second thought, it will make me grumpy to see IBC O's draftee AJ Smith-Shawver win a ring with someone else. Yeah, I'm rooting against Texas. Go Nate.]

Yeah it's kind of a travesty for that many great names to not win a ring. Maybe someday for Handelfry and Elorky.

Congratulations to Nate and the Colorado Rockies, winning the World Series 4-1. It's Nate's first-ever title. Very, very well done. Congrats, Nate!

Congrats to Brett as well for another pennant and a great season. I now owe three banners: 23 Rangers, 24 Angels and 25 Rockies. Coming soon!

[Guardians]

Congrats Nate! Quite a long time of rebuilding to climb to the top. BP: always a beast. Fun season, all.

[Rangers]

Congrats Nate, well deserved!

[Rockies]

Thank you guys. John, Pat, Nick, and Brett - I definitely didn't expect to win, and I feel like this was just a very lucky run. You all had great teams. This was a season marred with injuries to key players throughout the year; including Langford right before the playoffs. I felt like my team limped into the playoffs a bit. Somehow, with a little bit of luck, the pitching came through. I can't believe it, really..can't believe I did it in Colorado! Haha, cheers boys!

Edit..

Just wanted to quickly say thanks also to JP and Matt both for helping me out with MPs for the last weeks as my computer at home was on the fritz. Really appreciate the assists and help during that time while I was without access to the database.

[RedSox]

Congratulations Nate.
