Chicago Cubs Available in Hit For the Cycle

DaveHorn · 07-10-2005, 08:01 PM

This is an OOTP5 League. The game is required. Those new to OOTP online leagues are encouraged to join us.

The Cubs are in great shape and are in a great division in that it seems just about every season at least 4 teams (including the Cubs) have a chance to take the division. The Cubs have $18m in the bank, just $6m+ shy of the cash cap. They have all their drafts picks + two others from past trades and they have a fair amount of prospects.

This is a great team, in great shape, in a great league. This is no project team. The Cubs are ready to hit the ground running today.

Below is some more info on HFTC. If you are interested or have questions, contact me or post in our waiting list forum. Please include your contact information including email and AIM handle if you have one.

* New features added this season is our milestones (great idea borrowed from OOTP 6.5), active leaderboards and career leaderboards with projections available on the front page of the web site.

Although I am neither part of this league nor have the time to join myself, you would be a fool not to take this opportunity if you are looking for a well managed league

Thanks for the kind words Matteo.

What he didn't mention is that we're in our 10th season and still have 20 of 30 original owners. As someone who's tried several online leagues, there's really nothing that compares to this one.

Thanks for the bump Oregon! Yeah, we do have a lot of our original GMs still considering we have been around for 20 months now.

Tuesday morning bumpage!
