With one game left in the regular season and the Cougars long-since having been eliminated from playoff contention, it's time to begin looking back at 2054 to assess what happened, what went (mostly wrong) and a few bright points of what went right.
First of all - the broad brush strokes of owner's expectations.
Going into 2054, ownership was not particularly optimistic about the Cougars chances as the #1 owner's goal for this year was to "don't suck completely." Mathematicians have argued for centuries about what "complete suckitude" means in terms of a winning percentage. We seem to have made the owner slightly happy by going 70-91, for a .435 winning percentage. It's a far cry from 2053's 84-78 but the status color is yellow which means at least we have sucked but perhaps not completely?!? The fans do seem to have responded to the suck (whether complete or not) - as attendance is down over half a million. That does not bode well for the next few years.
2054's other immediate goal was to improve team Home Runs this year. That did not go well as the Cougars continue to be 16th in the Johnson League with only 95 team home runs - 28 behind 15th place Atlantic City. The Cougars offense is an anomaly - 2nd in the league in BA, 5th in the league in OBP but nobody hitting for power. That is definitely something to be addressed going forward.
Obviously a disappointing year for the Cougars, but hey - we didn't suck COMPLETELY.
