2011: Final Grades

Here is how my sporting life averaged out to in 2011:

St. Louis Blues: Weight 30%

2010-11 season ended in complete frustration as the Blues failed to make the playoffs yet again. 2011-12 season begins with a bang.

Grade: C+ (23.7 weighted points)

St. Louis Cardinals: Weight 25%

Didn't win the Central, but grabbed the wild card on last day. Won World Series. Lost Pujols forever.

Grade: A-/A (The lowest possible grade after winning the WS. 23.25 weighted points)

DC United: Weight 20%

Didn't make the playoffs again. Played better after getting DeRo. Season undone by injuries. Team threatens to move to Baltimore.

Grade: D (13 weighted points)

St. Louis University Billikens: Weight 15%

Limp to finish in disspiriting 2010-11 season. Roar off to 12-1 start in 2011-12, and even crack Top 25.

Grade: B-/B (12.45 weighted points)

Missouri Tigers: Weight 5%

Uneven season finishes strong with four straight wins including a bowl victory. Moves to SEC against my wishes.

Grade: C (3.75 weighted points)

Notts County: Weight 5%

Stayed in Division 1 by skin of teeth in 2010-2011. Off to great start in 2011-12, but slowly falling apart.

Grade: C+ (3.95 weighted points)

GASL GRADE FOR 2011: B- (80.1%)
