The Tigers had their chance today, leading in extra innings before ultimately losing to the IronBirds. As a result, they finish in second place without the postseason to look forward to.
Oddly, a team that struggled to hit scored plenty enough runs to have won. Connecticut just couldn't stop Aberdeen from scoring.
The end of this season is so much different than what past years have brought. Some, maybe none of the Tigers will be back next year. Usually in Double-A you have a decent idea who will return, but short-season A is not the same. I've been told Dixon Machado is a sure-bet to be back. But beyond that, who knows.
Connecticut defied the odds by sticking in the pennant race as long as it did, which at the very least, made the last two weeks entertaining.

joe, keep up the good work
I really, really, REALLY, hope they'll keep the name "CT Tigers," it's just not worth having a new name. What are they gonna do with C.T. the Tiger if there's gonna be a new name? I don't expect to see another new team mascot be unveiled this offseason. I like it the way it is. Miles Prentice made the right decision on call this team the Tigers. I don't want to disappoint anyone by coming up with a better name to call it. It wouldn't be fair to anyone if I were to be the winner of this contest when helping out with the clubby (and possibly be a batboy, once again) again next season. This time, get paid to work there and not volunteering like this season. I like it the way it is and that's that.
