Looking For "Friends" to join "Our League".

Maybe it is just me but it is really hard to identify all the teams without the -OL in the name.

It would be nice if the teams that currently don’t have it in their name also add it.

I found that if I add a few extra spaces to the name and before the -OL, it is not as annoying to the eye.

Here are the schedules for this week in S254...and I'd like someone to double-check this and verify that I got it 100% correct. This does not take into account games already completed.

Annandale: 20 Home, 21 Away (41 total)
Asylum: 32 Home, 26 Away (58 total)
Bluffton: 14 Home, 22 Away (36 total)
Cooper: 23 Home, 19 Away (42 total)
New York: 27 Home, 25 Away (42 total)
Palolo: 25 Home, 28 Away (53 total)
Port Ruppert: 17 Home, 22 Away (39 total)
Salem: 27 Home, 32 Away (59 total)
Shasta: 21 Home, 20 Away (41 total)
Terra Incognita: 23 Home, 30 Away (53 total)
Wheatland: 21 Home, 22 Away (43 total)

The highest OVR player on my entire roster is 93.

Looking at the teams throughout the league, I see only two others that have fewer than twelve diamond and above players on their roster.

There is a HUGE difference between Diamond and Perfect. This will be quite a humbling experience this year.

Any familiar names in your league?

I'm also affected by my reluctance to cut loose my players, since I only pick up those I liked when I still watched baseball. If I saw you on Kiner's Korner, it's a big plus. That's why I was delighted to over spend for Ron Santo, although it hurt to cut Fernando Tatis. He was high on my Strat-O-Matic prospect list near the end of PBM carrer, but I never got the chance to draft him. Also had to ditch Miguel Tejada, but replaced him with Harvey Kuenn, who was still around when I was just getting into baseball as a kid. Enough of memory lane. RL duty calls. Good luck to all.

So, my hopes of the AH being replenished were apparently dashed?

AH looks a bit better imo, I think the holiday weekend may be playing a part.

My (non-OL) Washington team is in the same league as Battery Point. BTW, we lost our first game in perfect 15-6...

[Bottom Of The Sixth]

For the first time ever, I have all Our League teams in the same division as me.


Can't wait to see how this all plays out!



Iron 167
AC Central Division



Mudville Muffins

Fancher Creek Pirates

Melaka Armada

Redmond Defenders

Gotham Knights

That’s the dream right there.

You got that right as that was the original idea behind the league's creation.


The more OL teams, the more fun it will be for everyone involved.

I agree totally. It makes it easier on everybody, but is a really nice gesture for the people trying to compile Our League stats. The people doing so do it only to help the rest of us; there is no reward. As you say, Joe, several spaces gives separation for immersion.

Kaneohe and Sanguine have a bunch of games against each other to open the year. Changed some personnel after a depressing season.

I added the "+" to my team abbreviation this morning, but I'll go back and add the OL designation next time I'm at my computer.

Actually, I was just about to post the schedule. Mine is different than yours, but I always post mine from the beginning of the season, so it will be different because it represents the entire schedule. I guess since I did it, I may as well put it up.

[Magus978]

It takes real talent to suck this hard in one run games. 5 of 8 games decided by 1 run, all 5 going the other way. It's gonna take all my strength not to throw something against a wall this week.

Probably hard to use me as a gauge, actually. As I said, I really find it hard to pull a player, even when he's slumping across multiple seasons. If there wasn't a Ron Santo when I looked, Tatis would have got another season or two.

The + really helps when doing the schedule, especially with OOTP's penchant for screwing up the logos. I again had to add all three of my teams back in. Also, Annandale's was changed to one of those horrid generic A's. If not for the + in their abbreviation, I'd have missed them when doing the schedule.

[Stanley Kuppchaser]

This represents the entire season, so some of these games have already been played. Port Ruppert has the shortest schedule, with 39 games, so it should be a good run.



Annandale, AC Central - 20 Home (H); 22 Away (A)
Asylum, NC East - 32 H; 29 A
Bluffton, AC East - 19 H; 22 A
Cooper, AC Central - 23 H; 19 A
New York, NC West - 27 H, 25 A
Palolo, NC West - 22 H, 25 A
Port Ruppert, NC Central - 17 H, 22 A
Salem, NC East - 31 H, 32 A
Shasta, AC West - 25 H, 20 A
Terra Incognita, NC East - 34 H, 30 A
Wheatland, AC West - 21 H, 25 A

Maybe it's me, but I find doing the stats is its own reward, but I also really appreciate nice gestures.
