Scottish Claymores
2031 Almanac: August
Narrative
If the Claymores seemingly awoke in July, by August they seemed a bit droopy eyed again. Scotland won in the double digits again and posted its longest winning streak of the season, but its monthly won-lost record slipped a bit.
But not enough to put them back in the running for the first draft pick. By then, Duluth, Yuma and other contenders were shouldering the Claymores aside.
At least, fans could console themselves, they didn’t tank.
They should have, but they didn’t.
Sigh.
