Thanks! I guess I'll check it out then.

gonna have to stay up a little longer here.... my pre-1950s team has a 2 game lead in their dismal division (leading the division at 80-80)... being chased by Crippling Depression (

there's a headline just waiting to be published).... my final games are against the 93-67 division winners in the NC East.... their final games are against the 57-103 last place team in our division

holding out hope that I can eek out a win (or they drop one), cause it's win or go home.... no wildcard coming out of this division.

edit: gah! One game left.... one game lead... here's hoping I can avoid the 1 game playoff for the division title.

In the second season of beta I was in the World Series against the Hong Kong Dongs. I can only imagine the headlines if they'd won, especially swept the series.

They do have a pretty cool roster, I'll be happy to see them promoted too. I' still a little scarred from being swept in a four-game series in April, so it was nice to get some revenge in September.

Well it took 110 wins to do it but......We won the Division. Now I can go to bed. What a great year so far.

Good luck my friend...

Their last game is against Montpelier, mine is against Lincoln.
Well, let's see what happens.

Red Faber earns his pay as my #1 starter and pulls out the win on the last day of the season to clinch the title.

my sad little 81-81 team will probably get stomped in the playoffs, but at least we made it

Cheesetruck · 12-09-2018, 12:44 AM

Division Champs! Pete Rose won a batting title.

Maddox · 12-09-2018, 01:30 AM

Ended the season 95 and 67 and still ended up 18 games behind the leader and I had a 17 game lead over third place.

In the american conference in my league only 4 teams had winning records. In fact the AC east was won by a team who ended the season 4 games under .500

vyshka · 12-09-2018, 01:39 AM

I finished 88-74 and grabbed the 2nd wildcard spot, luckily prior to my final series which was against Kushiel. I can't believe I actually had a positive record against you until that series.

And now we get to play 1 more game. Will it be 10-10 for the year or 9-11?? I ended up going 9-10 against Catalina as well.

Matt Arnold · 12-09-2018, 01:47 AM

Looks like I'll be in a wildcard game for my first one. Let's hope the AI manages my team correctly...

vyshka · 12-09-2018, 01:54 AM

I managed to mess up my depth chart at some point, so I currently have a LF at 51% and a SS at 64%. Not sure how much of the season they've been playing tired. Oops. Verlander also had a 6.10 era in September, so I imagine the wildcard game is going to go well.

Yeah, I will be in the wild card scam, although I should really just sell all the players on the 25-man for failing so dismally.

sharknut · 12-09-2018, 06:22 AM

Ended up 87-75 and 1st wild card. Spent $10 after the league started, but only ended up with 2 players in my lineup that I started the year with. Kept 'buying' up and getting lucky with a few 1000 point packs. Was able to sell underperforming Diamond and Golds to get better, lower rated players.

If I win, I will face a 131-win team that has 10 HOF'ers in their lineup, 6 HOF pitchers and 22 Diamond players on their reserve roster. Can't imagine how much they spent.

sharkybc · 12-09-2018, 06:34 AM

That'll play
