Outs rally from behind to claim first World Series title

Finally, the Slammers got out of his way.

Of course I had to make it about me. What else would you expect?

After two straight years of winning the division only to have the wild card JimmyJam Slammers spoil his World Series dreams, the Outs took his third straight division title, rolled through the NLCS and beat Big League Choo 11-10-3 to become the fourth champion in JLB history.

And because of some interesting starting pitcher decisions to begin the week, the Outs found himself trying to catch up all week thanks to a bloated ERA.

Trailing late in the weekend, the Outs got exactly what he needed and that was a solid day of pitching and a big day at the plate.

With a few categories up for grabs, he got the perfect day at the plate, hitting four doubles on Sunday to win the category 20-17. He was losing that category entering Sunday. Bryce Harper had a pair of the doubles, and Freddie Freeman and Matt Holliday each had one to put the category on ice.

He also got a very important hold by Santiago Casilla to match the Choo's hold and keep the category tied.

More importantly, Jordan Zimmermann and Jerome Williams each provided seven-inning quality starts, going 2-0 with a combined 10 strikeouts. That helped him win strikeouts 93-78, wins 9-7 and quality starters 8-7. Zimmermann also accounted for the only two walks on the day.

Meanwhile, Choo's starters walked a combined five, giving the Outs yet another category he was losing at the start of the day.

The batting averages were close at the start of Sunday, too, with the Outs holding the slight advantage, but a 15-for-35 performance by the Outs and a 3-for-27 day for the Choo made it not even close.

Despite the lackluster performance on Sunday, the Choo did put up some great power numbers throughout the week, including nine RBIs from Yoenis Cespedes and seven from Chris Davis, and he easily won homers with 10.

But he certainly missed the services of one Mike Napoli, who provided five runs, two doubles and six walks for the Outs. With the Outs winning walks by only two, 29-27, the six extra Napoli free passes made a big difference.
