A very nice touch--in team/player dynasties it is easy to forget there are other teams out there--this gives us a little more context to work with. It is a great sign to see you aren't content with sticking with the same old same old, even if the rest of us would be happy with it. I think that bodes well for this, and future seasons.
Though I would have loved the inning by inning thing work out--you know how I feel about 'slow-moving' threads.
