The playoffs are total random garbage now

I think you are absolutely correct. Most of the hitters can be replaced with good Diamond cards but at the top, a 100 Young/Johnson/Schilling/Maddux/Rivera/Eckersley combo is a bit harder to replace.

Maybe a combo of Eppa/Coveleski/99Johnson and Diamond starters in the pen can get close to matching the performance.

I hope to try and find out.

Rarely does the best team win in real life. More like the hotest teams at the moment that win. I feel anyways, no data to backup

Clearly not the best team wins every year... as it's evidenced in Yankees only winning 27 times.....

My bullpen stoppers just couldn't close it out, it was there to take tho. The pitching was great for both teams throughout the series except for an inning or two here and there.

Man, I thought I was doomed once I blew that 2 game lead. That's pretty much been the story for me every year.

Actually, I was glad to see you win it all once I realized you'd never won a championship. Congratulations!

Thanks - That was by far the best my team has done, Usually Im out early in the playoffs. Everyone clicked this past year.

Sucks that this will end up a zombie team for the entire run of PT20.

I can't say I really care to be honest.

Possibly, but nobody will notice unless he does something like screw up the lineup on the way out. Or there's the other possibility, he either doesn't quit or misses it and comes back. If I had a nickel for every time I heard "this is it for me..." regarding a team or posting in a thread or topic.

OP gets zero sympathy from me. there's plenty of people playing this game that would be grateful to have half that teams results
