My team has lost 10 straight now, and I really can't see a big problem other than several of my left-handers (pitchers and hitters) are slumping. So, I think it will just reap the pity points and be thankful that I am still within sight of the division leader.
Of course, this game provides no incentive to win at the highest levels so I obviously am trying to tank so I can get away from all these whales that are beating me senseless.
