My standard for being competitive is whether I feel that a team has a reasonable chance to win the World Series. The baseball season is long, as all of us know. A team that peters out during the RS like the Argonauts did reached the end of discussion. Entertaining? Yes. Not competitive enough to be competitive. Better luck next year.
We've mowed this lawn several times. I hold the same opinion that I've always had. Bob wrote his thoughts on this, and I've leaned more toward his than your's. He considers the "seasons" to be split- RS, PS. I don't.
Some teams are built more for the 162 than for the grinds than the three- or four- levels of play among the best competitors.
"Competitive," to me, runs beyond the end of the RS. Always has, always will.
Competitive during games is nice. It's much more entertaining than losing a ton of games. But, it's not necessarily competitive for the distance that the baseball season is.
One has to have a lawn and a mower as well- that leaves you out
What if he has a lawn and his neighbor's mower?
Then he would get a 14 year old kid to mow it. When I had my lawn business, I would thrive on people like him
