Hooray Mediocrity!
June 29, 2008 Posted by RobertJust to report on the three questions posed the other night: everybody did a so-so job. The Mavericks didn’t move up in the draft, which was disappointing. On second thought, at least they didn’t mortgage their future for an unsure thing. What they did do was draft another shooting guard who can’t play defense. Great. At least the Mavs are consistent.
Meanwhile in Houston, both Dallas teams clinched their respective trophies in non-traditional ways. The Rangers lost their game to the Astros, but managed to stay ahead in run differential, 34-28, ensuring that the Silver Boot will stay in North Texas another year. FCD and the Dynamo tied for the third time this season, but since the Hoops scored the most away goals (that’s the tiebreaker?!), they won El Capitan for the first time in its three-year existence. Hey, if you’re going to hover around .500 all season, at least you can win your intrastate rivalry trophy on a technicality.
