Just to bring you up to speed on my league. Over 150 years old, 40 teams, one league, two divisions, only the division winners get to play for the Finley Cup. It is now 2172.

I GM the Philadelphia Rowdies, a very successful team, won it all in 2169, 2170 and came in second last year as I brought up a lot of young players. My preseason predictions had me winning the division by 10 games (going 80-40).

All was well for the first 15 games (12-3) but then the team started to underperform winning only 3 of the next 10 games. After 54 games, we stood 30-24. Not up to par so I decided to make a change and fired my manager (who had a legendary status) and promoted the assistant. Well I got lucky or something because we went on a tear the rest of the year. With 10 games to go we had a 74-36 record and again, led the division.

Then the injuries hit... For 5 straight games, one of my position players went down and had to be put on the DL. First my CF, then my C, then 2B, then backup 2B, next LF and finally RF. My team went 9-1 the last ten games and won the division.

Now onto the playoffs...
