Fantasitc Matt. I had no idea that you had this web page setup. All I ever saw was http://southernbaseball.com/twb, and I was never bright enough to go to the main page. Wonderful stuff. I'll read up on all the rules. Let's hope someone doesn't respond to the next roll call...

PS: Dodgers just scored 7 in the 6th. Gotta keep those Giants away. Beltre for MVP!

Nooooooo.....

Red Sox won the World Series! Now if only the real Red Sox could win one after 1918.

And to hear you use the term "reminds me of" and then talk about a team from yesteryear in the TWB just shows how much this league grows on you.

Nice to see him pull out another All-Star appearance at the grand old age of 36 and get within 102 hits of 2500. His ratings haven't dropped all that much, so hopefully he can stick around another year or two and make a borderline Hall of Fame case.

Not bad. I may get a chance to get them over the top. Or....

Hey, look The General (Ward) got a Gold Glove in his old age. Nice way to comeback at 38.

I'm always willing to talk trade....with you and your divisional rivals

Breaking News found here. While some players begin to return from the war, one future Hall of Famer enlists.

Matt from TN · 08-27-2004, 07:07 PM

Also, our first discussion on real MLB rules used by owners/GM's in TWB has begun here.

My thoughts, Yanks, would be to scout the White Sox and read up on the rules. I keep getting discovery requests dropped on my desk to the point that my vacation has been trashed... it would be nice if my company didn't keep getting sued over nonsense.

Anyway, I may have to beg off of day-to-day management of a club and take that more relaxed spot over in the TWB HOF as Historian where I can write rambling and annoying "articles" from time-to-time.

DamnYankees · 08-27-2004, 07:35 PM

Matt, this may be a stupid question, but who is darnoff? Is that you?

jdw, sorry to hear that. You really should be a GM, just for the game's posterity. But, if for some reason you can't do it, I'd love to have the chance to renew the greatness of Flaky.

PS: Please don't call me Yanks. It's truly an insult to me

. It's DamnYankees for a reason. Feel free to call me Damn, however.

Wow! And here we all thought Frank was clear of war service. Cool that he went.

One thing that might be playing on him is the lack of support of that Bums offense. 1.93 ERA (#2 in the NL), another WHIP Title, 1 IP off the IP lead, 36 QS in 39 GS... and just a 19-14 record. Teammate Remmy Paul won the POY with a slightly better ERA (1.87) and a 22-12 record, which really isn't all that great given an ERA that was half the NL average (1.87 vs. 3.80).

Still, Frank will come back to chase Dodge Lee's all-time win record. He'll be 36... he could have enough time to catch Lee. Though one wonders if Dodge will come back in 1945 with the war still on. He still was great last year, and nearly was the POY.

Yep, same as my email address... Guess I should've just been 'Commish' but that is so boring... Actually, my handle everywhere else on the WWW is darnoff, so I don't know what I was thinking when I signed up here as 'Matt'.

John, let me know what you decide. If you don't GM, I certainly hope your participation in the league, in any other form, won't decline (as far as real life allows, of course).

Ankhiel · 08-27-2004, 08:13 PM

Grrrr... the forum wont let me logged on when i'm at home... i can't even post under my name there anymore....

How odd... I wish I could help, but I'm no expert in those areas... I bet it's something simple though, but I don't know where to start... If you want me to reset your password & try that, shoot me a PM or email.

Matt from TN · 08-27-2004, 10:08 PM

I've just uploaded 3 big new downloads on the TWB d-loads page here. The most important of these is the official 1945 Opening Day league file, the first one ever released to the general public! Also added are 2 official TWB facepacks. The first contains all current players (excluding ancestors) and the second contains all retired players & current ancestors.

I don't like releasing a substandard product, so hopefully I had the league file in perfect order before uploading it. Enjoy looking around the league on your own, but I do ask one favor: Please do not reveal just yet who has retired until I post it officially. I would prefer to wait until I can announce it properly. Unfortunately that may not be until Monday, so I hope you guys can keep a secret.

Vris · 08-27-2004, 10:15 PM

Nice! Glad to see it Matt and I can't wait to look and play around.

Probably best to hand the Sox to DY. Our one competent secretary handed in her notice late Friday, and with no replacement on the horrizon it means more dung will get tossed onto that Paralegal Jack Of All Trades already swamped plater. *big groan*

Given the choice between spending for the near future at least my TWB time between (i) running a franchise like it needs to be and (ii) having fun being a Historian Jack Of All Trades in the TWB threads, it's probably saner to keep the current role. Running a team can = stress. Reading this thread, poking around in TWB's history, and interacting with the good people who pop in the thread is nothing but pleasure... which I think I will need a regular dose of.

I'd be happy to work for the Commish in the TWB Offices.

And I hope this doesn't force me to turn in my Vet Committe vote. :P

Perhaps place me on the waiting list. The 1961/62 expansion might come around too quick, but if things calm down I wouldn't mind being the Cowboy taking on the years of frustration that will come the Angles way. If not then, either the 1969 or 1977 expansion will probably hit when things calm down.

DamnYankees · 08-30-2004, 02:09 AM

Well, John, its too bad you can't do it, but I will admit I'm smiling right now. Thanks for letting me have an opportunity. Hope we still see you around alot, doing what you do best. After all, I'm gonna need someone to give some perspective to my 10 straight championships.

Now to read up on the ChiSox.
