Season 23 was heartbreaking for the Fridays, as they failed to perform poorly enough to proceed through the Underbracket past the first round. The ILB Semi-Centennial at the end of the season would bring further loss before the ultimate set-up came at elections.

Season Overview

A hectic season for the Fridays saw Shadows coming and going via the Phantom Thieves' Guild, in and out of play via via the Voicemail and, more often, the Fax Machine. Fans of the Fridays rejoiced to finally be offered the "Birds +" renovation for The Cookout, implemented at Latesiesta. While the Fridays made it to the Underbracket due to the Mild Card promotion of the San Francisco Lovers to the Overbracket, the Philly Pies were defeated, and thus advanced, after only 2 games in the postseason.

Two Fridays MVPs joined the Rising Stars for the ILB Semi-Centennial: Don Mitchell and Lady Matsuyama. Only Matsuyama would return to Hawai‘i, as Mitchell was the first of the Rising Stars "collected" by the Vault Legends, becoming Legendary and joining the team from the Vault. With this loss, the Fridays no longer had a classical "star player" representative of the era's comically high star counts.

At Elections, the Fridays chose an option no other team did, electing to receive the Squiddish Crate from Lōotcrates. With concerns about Parker MacMillan's impending release from the Vault, only the Fridays chose to gain this modification that would allow a previously incinerated team to rejoin active play. Some fans noted this as a conscious decision to confront the impending League-wide crisis, placing trust in the Monitor rather than any of Lōotcrates' other offers. Fridays also won the Exploratory Surgeries blessing, which ultimately only harmed already poor pitcher Lady Matsuyama, who returned from the Semi-Centennial to the Fridays' Rotation rather than her previous spot in the Lineup. Along with all other teams, the Fridays gained the Under Review modification from the Reader. Alejandro Leaf roamed to the Fridays.

Parker MacMillan left the Vault and joined the Fridays as well, causing all players in the Vault to become Unstable. For the Fridays, this was functionally a death sentence, as MacMillan's Super Roamin' mod would trigger one week into the following season and cause the entire team to become Unstable.
