I've made plenty of mistakes, some of which I've reported here before:
I forgot to hire a new trainer when the previous one retired and ended up with nearly the entire starting lineup on the DL before I discovered it.
I once tried to set the ticket price to $10.00 and ended up setting it to $1000 instead. The owner wasn't too pleased about our attendance that year, but surprisingly, the bottom line didn't seem to suffer that much.
When I'm preparing for the rule 5 draft I examine my minor league rosters looking for players that need to be put on the 40-man roster to protect. But several times I've failed to look at the disabled list and end up losing a valued prospect that was hiding out over there.
And I've also made the mistake a few times of failing to turn off 7-day lineups after Spring Training (I like to use them for Spring Training). If I forget to turn them off, my lineup gets totally messed up for the regular season and the team severely underperforms. SInce I sim mostly and only rarely play out games, it's this underperformance midway through the season that is my first inkling of the mistake and results in a slapped sinciput.
