Well Season “23 and Us” would be more accurate, but I suck at photoshop…

The Wrap Up:
The 2024 regular season is in the books and some Rockem Sockem history has been made in our 23rd season. SInce we have gone to our standard 6×6 scoring in Rockem III, the highest point total had been gained by BK in 2011 with 124, a shockingly high number. Well move over BK because there is a new high score in town! Your (not so) humble Commish has just registered his third championship with a whopping 126 point total, setting a new high water mark.
My team was pretty dominant all year, but it was never truly a runaway until September. At the All-Star break I was tied with BK and he held strong all season, putting up 109 points which would be enough to win…most years. Third place was also never in doubt, with Bull locking it down in July, making the second half much less eventful than in recent years. This is also the first time we have had the top three in the 100's since 2015 which shickingly saw 4 teams put up over a 100.
Jay Vig, had a solid campaign, led by an insanely good pitching staff to carve out 4th place the full second half while McNally slowly crept up from the bottom, continuing his second half success from past years to lock down 5th. We had a tie at 6th with Mike who had touched the top briefly and Jeff who spent most of the first half towards the bottom, so they meet in the middle, that is fitting.
Birdie just missed out on 69 points by a .5, not nice, to finish 8th, Moon struggled all season but couldn't end up higher than 9th and I think Eben and Fatone decided to take this season off finishing 10th and 11th. They were bad but Tom continued to underachieve in mighty ways, putting them to shame finishing 12th. He will have to buy a round of shots for everyone at the dinner but the way his team collapsed, he may just drink them all himself to forget this season.
