What do the 2011 Rivercats have in common with the decade of the 1970s?

The 2011 Cats have been prone to Streaks.   For the first time in their history, the Cats amassed a new record by losing 9 in a row.  With 23 games left and 10 games up over Las Vegas, their current losing streak is 7.   At the same time they have had some powerful winning streaks too.  Before this current losing streak they had run through opponents easily.

The last three games may be a preview of the finals, if the Cats are able to recover and win both the division and the Pacific Conference.  Round Rock seems a likely winner of the Atlantic Conference.

In the last sets of series we are at Fresno (5), then at home against Las Vegas (4) and then at Colorado Springs (4).  All three of the series are ones where we should do well but can produce wild results.   Last night I wore a Nashville Sounds jersey - and indeed the Sounds won their game so we moved up in the magic number even if we could not beat Round Rock.

They lost another on Sunday which puts the current streak at -8.
