Let's keep the lather building.
Last night in my first run at manager, I brought my underachieving fictional team from 12 1/2 games back to tie for the division lead. In the one game playoff, I had bases loaded with one out and my cleanup hitter in the top of the ninth ground into a double play with the score tied. In the bottom I opted not to put in my stud closer and go with a middle reliever playing for extra innings but he gave up a two run dong to lose and get knocked out of the playoffs. Even though I lost it was a blast.

The game is robust, deep but not debilitating, and addicting. (Sounds like a coffee ad) Markus, what you've done in 5 installments amazes me. For a non-American to come in and go after the most ravenous sports fans for the American pasttime and not just succeed but become the market leader is incredible. It's like me creating the ultimate camel racing game that fans not only enjoy in Quatar but cherish. You've got a solid franchise, don't squander it like Long John Silvers.
