In this episode:
Lavender family, we have crossed the divide.
We look back at our first post-season game.
There's no preview, but we are ECSTATIC to have made this episode.
It's one more than we have ever made.
We also chat about how we move forward and changes in the league.
Join us in the following weeks with a Lauren Milliet interview and our post-season recap.
We go again.
In this episode: Apparently when you do good with the season, they let you keep playing as long as you keep winning. They call them "Playoffs". It's a terribly novel idea I hope will stick around so we can do it again next year.
We look back at how Racing secured a spot in these "Playoffs" by hanging Bay out to dry, and look forward to the first game of these "Playoffs" against the Spirit.
Playoffs.
