Spoiler

We were eliminated from the playoffs but had a chance to play spoiler if we won our final game and there was a team from Ottawa who had to wait around to see if we won because if we did, the team we were playing would be eliminated, and they would be in the playoffs.  I was told that I should write the lineup without help but the captain said I should sit one player that wasn't playing well but he wouldn't tell me who.  He wanted me to figure it out for myself.  So I did some statistics and made my decision.  But I was told I was wrong and was overruled by the captain and I played the guy who I thought should sit and sat one of the guys I thought should play.  The guy that I played was just terrible but it was a close game.  So I convinced the other coaches to replace him near the end of the game and put in the guy that I thought should have started.  He came up in a crucial situation and hit a double to knock in the go ahead run.  All we had to do is get 3 outs in the bottom of the 7th inning to win the game.  They got one on and their big homerun hitter was coming up.  I was so happy when we got him to pop up and I was sure we were going to win.  Then the next batter came up and on the first pitch hit a monster homerun to win the game for them.  So we were not the spoiler and the team from Ottawa had to go home without making the playoffs as well.
