Good luck! Looking at rjl's dynasty, it looks like the '86 Red Sox have their work cut out for them. At least you're not Milwaukee!

I think these 86 Brewers are trying to copy the 88 or 89 Orioles. Didn't they lose a bunch in a row to start the season?

April 22nd, 1986 Game 14 Tigers vs. Red Sox

Detroit gets on the board first with 2 in the top of the 2nd as Mike Laga continues to kill the Red Sox. Detroit added another run in the top of the 4th on an RBI groundout by who else Mike Laga. Sox got one back in the bottom of the 4th on an RBI single by Jim Rice. Sadly, that's all the runs the Red Sox would get as Jack Morris pitched 8 strong innings and the Tiger take game 2 of the series 3-1.

The Mets finally lost a game (4) this week and the Brewcrew finally win one!
