No Late-Season Magic Coming: Maryland Out of Playoffs
That they came exceptionally close to qualifying for the playoffs will likely provide little solace for fans of the <Maryland Bridegrooms:team#76> -- the team was mathematically eliminated from postseason contention today.

"I don't expect the fans to be happy with us," said Bridegrooms closer <Matt French:player#6303>. "We're not happy with ourselves."

Maryland last appeared in the postseason in 2066. This is their 2nd consecutive year missing the playoffs, and in total they have not advanced past the regular season 46 times in their 56-year history. In the last 10 seasons, the Bridegrooms have missed the playoffs 6 times. Maryland last won the Federation Cup Series in 2036.
