Attribute it to bad ownership, just like in real life.

I really love how a lot of my fictional teams are doing well. (Jacksonville Suns, Carolina Storm, Utah Grizzlies, San Antonio Roadrunners, Buffalo Wings, Portland Pilots). They are all playoff contenders year in and year out, and have even won some World Series.

MLB to expand playoffs
Format will increase from 8 teams to 32 teams

NEW YORK CITY - Major League Baseball's commissioner, Jack Bauer, has announced that the owners have voted unanimously to expand the playoffs. There have been 8 teams allowed in the playoffs since the league's beginning in 2101. But Bauer says that times are changing:

"Let's face it - almost nobody watches the regular season. With only 4 teams out of 20 making the playoffs from each league, most of the teams have no shot by June, with four months to go in the regular season. Everybody loves the playoffs, why not allow just about everybody in? It will increase our revenues, and everybody, from fans to owners to players, will be happy. Plus, it will make for some very interesting office pools."

Here is the new format:

#1 vs. #16
#8 vs. #9

#4 vs. #13
#5 vs. #12

#2 vs. #15
#7 vs. #10

#3 vs. #14
#6 vs. #11

1st round - best of 5
2nd round - best of 5
3rd round - best of 7
League Championship Series - best of 7
World Series - best of 7

2181 World Series Winners: Hartford Whalers

The Whalers lost in heartbreaking fashion in last year's World Series to the Mets. As a matter of fact, last year was their first World Series appearance in exactly 50 years. But this year, against the surprising Washington Nationals, was different. The Whalers defeated their arch nemesis, the Yankees, in a 7th game at Yankee Stadium to win the ALCS. In the World Series, they fell behind 3 games to 1 versus the Nationals, a team that had won 75 games on suffered 87 defeats in the regular season. The Whalers won Games 5 and 6 to force Game 7. In the 7th inning, they trailed 5-2, but scored six runs for an 8-5 lead. But Washington came back with three in the 9th to tie. Finally, in the 11th inning, right-fielder Michael Green gave the Whalers a world championship with a leadoff home run.

It was the Whalers' 8th championship, ending a 51-year drought.

Hartford Whalers' championship seasons:
2103 - 2116 - 2120 - 2125 - 2126 - 2128 - 2130 - 2181
