That's the wife 17 games in front of me.....I've been pretty quiet this week, and I have to be, because she has been living it up how her team is that much better than mine....


And why the heck am I suddenly having these scaling issues when I post using the link from google photos? Sorry about that in advance, but let me know, I'd really like to fix that!

The Frogs (84-39) are 11.5 games back in the division, but have a 7-game lead for the #1 WC spot. The total cushion is +16 games for making/not making the playoffs. Things are fine. Not great. Not bad. Just fine.

I posted a couple of days ago that one of the team's needs is a big bat to play against righty pitchers. Well, right as I was starting to grumble about getting just 1 LIVE diamond (obviously Felipe Vazquez) from a run of ~180 packs, 100 Lou Gehrig popped out. My 4th packed perfect legend (Mathewson, Seaver, Ripken, Gehrig). I think Lou would qualify as big bat/DH material, but he's sort of the anti-Frog with his extreme pull tendency, his bad defense, and his low avoid K. He's only selling for 60-75K right now so I might give him next week as an audition and decide what to do after that. Plus, it could become an even more valuable card when the inevitable Yankees collection missions drop.

In addition to PEAK Iron Horse, we packed the best version (Unsung Heroes) of Tug McGraw so I might need to add him to the pen as a lefty specialist. Got Felipe Vazquez in consecutive packs (gross), and 2 Aaron Judge's in the same pack. Weird. Also packed another gold Eck and another Smoky Burgess to help recoup some PP. Went back through my transaction log (all 1400+ pages) and counted up 3799 packs opened so far...

What's that? Time to open some packs?

While my Terriers have wandered off into the stadium concourse sniffing around for condiment spills on the pavement, I noticed something interesting about Singapore and Tassie....

Singapore (10 PL titles) just bludgeons everyone into submission with mostly perfects and a handful of diamonds,
while Tassie (6 PL titles) uses mostly diamonds and a handful of golds employing a 5 man bullpen with everyone set to middle relief.
I like the contrast between these two teams.
I'm looking forward to their showdown in the playoffs.


Now.....where did Don Drysdale wander off to? He's supposed to be pitching for me tomorrow against the Battle Cattle.

Normalcy is back for Cy Young and the Magpies. Cy managed 5-1 during the month, the loss was his 10th but also copped 4000 points for the team by closing out a 16-game winning streak. Meanwhile, Pedro Martinez, who ended last season stuck on 19 consecutive wins, left nothing to chance this season and already has 21.

Do you do the special packs (Diamond or Gold)or just the regular packs? What do you prefer?

I've bought just one diamond pack, no gold packs, and the rest regular ones. I also got some diamond and gold packs from collection missions, but the quantity of those pale in comparison to the thousands of regular ones.

After 2 of my teams were flirting with relegation near the start of the week, things have turned around and all 3 look set to make the 'yoffs.

The Vikings have cruised all season long and should be favoured to go pretty deep in the postseason. For some reason my locked Diamond Steve Carlton always seems to pitch better than his ratings suggest. I also noticed a few other copies of this card made the All-Star game too. Interesting.

The Cowboys are in one of those boring zero-parity Perfect Leagues. I'm like 40 GB of the division leader, but like 20 games ahead in the second wildcard spot. No team below mine has a winning record. Should change the team name to Plankton cause we'll be whale food pretty soon.

The Crayons have the only interesting race, with a scant division lead of 1 game over another 2 teams going into the last game of the season. Oh ya, and we're playing one of those teams in the last game. And it's simulating right now. But I'm in bed and won't see until tomorrow.

Paragon City Heroes managed to lose the last two games of the season to leave them 99-63 just short of their 1st 100 win season. They qualified as wildcard for the 4th straight season despite being in the strongest division in the league with 6 time champion Parish WhoDats. M addux had a down year (1.3 WAR as opposed to his normal 3.0) as Rocky Colavito ( 3.1 WAR compared to his 6.7 in his last 3 seasons)



Bad News Bulldogs will be back in Diamond after a horrible season 66-96, despite Hank Aaron having one of his best seasons (26HR 103 RBI)

P407: The Stage Is Set for Colorado and Jersey

Well, technically, the second AC Wild Card team has yet to be decided, but, in no way meaning offense to the 3 teams tied for that spot, this league is going to come down to the 140-22 Colorado Lions versus the 130-32 Jersey Revolutionize. They finished 1-2 in the league in runs scored (Colorado, 1006; Jersey, 989) and runs allowed (Colorado, 399; Jersey, 445), and it wasn't particularly close, as the third-place team scored 31 fewer runs and gave up 55 more runs than Jersey.

Cool personal note about that, though: Huntley was the third-place team in both categories. Go Red Raiders! We're number 3! We're number 3!

Speaking of your Red Raiders, Rube Waddell had a banner year, pacing the NC in ERA (1.89), wins (24), quality starts (29), opponents' average (.218), ERA+ (232!), and rWAR (10.4), and finishing third in winning percentage (.857), third in strikeouts (239), second in K/9 (9.8), seventh in WHIP (1.10), third in FIP (2.52), and third in WAR (8.3). (Strangely, though, I don't think Rube has any chance at the Pitcher of the Year Award because Jersey's Cy Young--old-school stat alert!--went 24-0.)

On the offensive side, Huntley's standouts were Luke Appling (.306/.395/.440/.835, 128 OPS+, 5.2 WAR), Ken Griffey Jr (.294/.375/.502/.877, 137 OPS+, 5.0 WAR), Mickey Mantle (.275/.373/.487/.860, 133 OPS+, 4.6 WAR), Lou Gehrig (.286/.392/.468/.859, 134 OPS+, 4.1 WAR), Yogi Berra (.294/.350/.488/.838, 126 OPS+, 4.1 WAR), and Christian Yelich (.278/.349/.507/.856, 130 OPS+, 4.0 WAR).

Huntley's Division Series opponent will be the DDingu Eagles, who won Iron, Bronze, Silver, and Diamond Level Series in their first 5 seasons in PT 2.0, but have since made the playoffs 24 times in Perfect League without winning it all. Huntley swept the season series against the Eagles, 6-0, but A) that's meaningless now in the playoffs, and B) you gotta think the Eagles are due to win in the playoffs. So, if the Eagles soar over the Red Raiders and into the Sub-League Series, Huntley will cheer them on!

Good luck to all in the P407 playoffs!

The Austin Express finished 12 games back of the Dallas Renegades in the NC Central of P435 this year, and yes, the wife has gloated the whole way. The Express have really struggled out of the bullpen, Dutch Leonard had a 6.97 ERA before he was "sent down", Don Sutton had a 6.82 ERA before he was "sent down." Mariano Rivera has an ERA pushing 4.00 and is cold headed to the playoff's. It's like a Murphy's Law run of my entire bullpen going bad all at once, and it's been many a year since that happened.

Offensively the runs scored looked good, but the dynamic 1-2 punch last year of King Kelly and Ty Cobb were good, but they were not nearly as dominant this year. Josh Gibson led the league with a .352 average, and and 6.9 WAR. Lou Boudreau led the team with a 7.0 WAR and was quietly excellent. The Wild Card game is coming up against the Tijuana Toucans, who I went 15-4 against in the regular season. I opened my mouth last year, and lost when I beat someone in the regular season, so in a 50/50 game, it'll be a nail biter.

The Renegades led in quite a few offensive categories, and were just behind the 9-Time PL Champion Maine Gems in pitching. Ozzie Smith and Oscar Charleston tied with 6.1 to lead the way. Oscar has been a gem for the Renegades with his multifaceted offensive approach that just fills a stat sheet. Maddux, Rixey and Ed Walsh all won 20 games and are hot at just the right time.

The Renegades won 126 games, which is a number 2 seed behind the 140 game winning Maine Gems. In the AC, the Homestead Grey's are the clear favorites, and looking to add their 6th Championship.


My Tombstone Glory came away with their first division championship in Perfect, with a 96-66 record. (We've been a WC both prior years, but 82-80 and 84-78 are more fodder than a contender.) The big change this year was moving Mark Prior and Jake Arrietta to the BP and plugging them both in as stoppers, where they have been excellent, and turned my pen from a weakness to a strength. Mordecai Brown won 18 games, and put up a 7.0 WAR. The rest of the rotation is mediocre, but they gave me some innings before turning it to the pen.

Heine Zimmerman hit 38 HR's, and drove in 130 runs, Cap Anson had another 7.0 WAR season and was a rock in my line-up. King Kelly continued his dominance in the lead off spot, scoring 141 R and swiping 88 bases. The struggles in CF with Adolfo Phillips are real, this year he barely made it to the Mendoza line, however this year I brought up Phil Caverreta and Riggs Stephenson to play LF, and while sorely lacking defensively, the 100 games they combined to play they changed a weak spot to a fairly strong spot, both with contact, and drawing some walks.

Should make for an interesting playoff season, if I'm going to get some respect back against the wife, I need to go thru the Maine Gems, so I may be licking my wounds for a bit.

Good luck to everyone, may your playoffs bring some hardware!

...and here are our three Diamond teams' final results:

90-72 (5 GB) - wild card
81-81 (15 GB)
73-89 (15 GB) - three games clear of relegation!

Which team is which? Well, the bottom one is obviously the Rebs, who were just no bueno all year long. The playoff team is actually the Critters, who led the division for most of the year, then faltered late. They are my only playoff team this week in all of PT, so there's a swell chance I'm done with this **** by 5pm my time

Dan Brouthers (.329, 6 HR, 75 RBI) won the batting title for Portland. That's about it for achievements this week.

76-86 finish for the 'Glou. Surprisingly we were only 2 games out of the wildcard, and not eliminated until the penultimate day of the season.

We scored 824 runs, our highest at perfect level and 4th in our conference. However, we allowed a whopping 921 runs, the worst we have allowed at any level. Our pitching did noticeably improve the last couple months, though, after I went back to 5 starters and removed the rotation's pitch count limit, so it'll be interesting to see how we go next season on a basic pitching strategy. Not that I'm expecting great things with a defense that put up a team -84.8ZR Tim Anderson's rating at 2B has finally got to the point where the AI will listen to my defensive subs instructions and move him there in the later innings if I have a lead, which means Aparicio plays SS instead of 2B, so that might help things a touch, too.

Matty Alou didn't do enough in his audition season to make me think he'll be better than bronze Tony Gwynn. I was hoping Alou's gap power would play in his favor, but I think Gwynn's superior defense wins out, so Gwynn will come back into the team next season. Or maybe I'll bring Dykstra back in and shift Trout back to LF against RHP...

Oh, and why did I ever take Gary Sheffield off the active roster? Guy just goes out and does his job, even in limited AB. Consummate professional.

The Frogs finished up 2048 with a 109-53 record (+333, -5 pythag). This was a distant 2nd in the division to the Amberg Legends (128-34, +573), but plenty good enough to host the wild card game.

The opponent will be the Michigan Stags (105-57, +213). The Stags finished just a couple of games behind their division leader and will be attempting to 2-peat this season after winning their first PL title last week. It's a NFTP type of team judging by the fact they're playing LIVE Anthony Rizzo at 1B. But, the Stags have some nice cards as well: 100 Future Legend Vlad, 100 Mantle, 100 LIVE Trout, 100 All-Star Max Scherzer, 100 Dutch Leonard, 93 Buck Ewing, and 97 Phil Niekro mainly. If this team has a weakness, it would probably be the bullpen (4.44 ERA, 10th). With the Frogs trotting a rested Ed Walsh out there and having the home field, the game should heavily lean to the Frogs. Did you hear that, RNG?

Speaking of Ed Walsh...my dude is a shoo-in for his 3rd PotY award and for the 2nd week in a row. He went 22-5 and led the conference in ERA (1.96), ERA+ (224), GS (37), QS (32), IP (257.1), WAR (8.8), and RA9-WAR (12.4). The 22 wins was good for 2nd; Walsh was also 6th in Ks (208) and 2nd in WHIP (0.98). His 12.4 RA9-WAR bested the nearest challenger by a full 3.5 WAR.

Other accolades include SUPER Ichiro winning the batting title (.341) and being head and shoulders above all other contenders for the Great Glove in RF. Ichiro has 6.4 WAR in the bank right now, but it could approach 8 or so after the defensive stats are adjusted.

The Frogs also had 7 players with double digit homers, which is unheard of for this slap-happy/boa constrictor-defense team and its ballpark factors. Newcomer Christian Yelich led the way with 24 homers. Chipper Jones also got to 20. Berra, Henderson, Ripken, Pudge, and Appling were all between 10-12 HR. The previous team high was 121 HR and the Frogs thwacked 136 long balls this week.

The main thing I'm worried about going to the playoffs is the bullpen has been a little bit rickety. 100 Smoltz (10-3, 2.61 ERA, 20 SV) and SE Vida Blue (5-11, 3.16 ERA, 14 SV) combined for almost 8 WAR from their co-stopper roles, but they also blew 19 saves between them. In fact, my team's mini summer slump was basically due to Vida Blue coughing up a bunch of games in a short span. The other worrisome thing is the Frogs are heading into the 'yoffs cold. The team lost its final 5 games of the season and 7 of 9 (and its not like Jeri Ryan is walking through that door any time soon).

Good Luck in your Wild Card game. You were good enough to win a division, but you were in a tough one.

Doubledays finished 110-53 after winning a play-in game 6-2 against Asbury. We get to avoid the Wild Card game and we play the 110-52 Durham El Torres in the best of 5 series. El Torres is a defensive minded team with the top def eff of .724 in the league and 1st in runs against. The Doubledays were in the top 8 in the 6 major categories shown in the standings and were 4th in Average and ERA. Doubledays won the regular season series 4-2, which means nothing at this point as El Torres does have home field.

All 3 of my teams made the Perfect playoffs this season in PT 2.0.

Oren Owlz added John Henry Lloyd to the top of the batting order. They won 101 games for the 1st time in Perfect and are the top seed in their conference while there are 2 mega whales battling it out in the other conference.

Woodpeckers managed the final wild card spot and is hoping defense can stop the mega hitting teams.

Two teams in Perfect this season.

On September 1, one team had a 92.7 chance of making the playoffs, and were comfortably in front of their division with a 6-game lead, albeit with a losing record of 64-70. The other team had a similar 65-70 record, but was sitting in 4th place in their division, and so only a 9.8 percent chance (and frankly, I was surprised it was that high). So who makes the playoffs?

Why, it's the Cincinnati Redlegs and their 9.8 percent chance, of course! Finishing with an 82-80 record, the Redlegs rode a 17-10 final month to force a Game 163, which they then won, 6-5, with a run in the bottom of the 9th. Frank Robinson hit the walk-off single to score Dave Concepcion. We'll face Perfect Cy Young in the WC game, but we've played (and beaten) him before in the regular season. In fact, we split the season series against our opponent, 3-3.

The South Side Lumber Company, on the other hand, went 8-20 in September for a 1964 Phillies-style epic collapse, finishing in second place in the division, 3 games out with a 72-90 record.

So I'll get my first Perfect pip after all, just not for the team I thought would get it.

The big news this morning is the sale of Cap Anson to an unknown team. Cap played well for us, but in the end the focus on pitching and defense made him expendable. Wade Boggs moves to 1B full time and is replaced at 3B by Lou Boudreau. Over the same time frame Boggs hit slightly better than Anson while Anson made 139 errors over 22000 innings compared to Boggs 5 errors in 3300 innings at 1B. That extrapolates to a lot fewer errors at 1B. "It was just a shame to leave all those points on the reserve roster." (quoting myself).
It is not immediately clear what do with all the points now, however.

The wildcard opponent is guaranteed to be a 100+ win team and will either be the Brigantine Bombers or the Karana Storms. Both teams beat us exactly 3 times** during the regular season. Karana features an all left-handed starting rotation which could be difficult for the Magpies as they won only 64% of the time against lefties compared to 84% against righties.

** The Bombers are in our division--Karana is not.

The Colonels finished with the best record in the conference (122-40), beating out the Interstate 80 Defenders by one game for home field advantage. I-80 will play the League City Astros (107-55) while I will play the wild card winner Loch Ness Dragons (80-82). Loch Ness has an odd setup with a park that favors LHB and only 94 Ruth and Live Bellinger as LHBs in their lineup.

The Colonels were led by batting champion George Brett (.328), HR champion Babe Ruth (41), and ERA leader Cy Young (2.12). Stopper Eppa Rixey will have a good shot at Reliever of the Year. He appeared in 65 games (7 as a starter) with 151 IP, 18-5 record, 11 saves, 12 holds, and a 2.56 ERA.

It's official, the Karana Storms are our Division Series opponent. This will be a difficult matchup because all of our left hand platoon players had reverse splits this season.
…....................... LHP RHP
Roy Campanella .219 .290
Joe DiMaggio..... .230 .292
Willie Mays...….. .235 .265 5 HR all against righties.
Cal Ripken...….. .277 .279
Ichiro Suzuki..... .317 .304 OK, slugging was better against righties by .009 points.

Also, Cristobal Torriente who made the most of his first crack at full time play since 2039 by winning the batting title (.373) will be available only to pinch hit. Team HR leader Ken Griffey will also be riding the pine. Ty Cobb also likely to be a no show. Yogi Berra will get the nod at catcher, (better defense and .311 against lefties) but otherwise we'll play the percentages with the rest.

Unbelievably, Cy Young was tagged with 10 of the Magpies' 34 defeats, still gets the nod as Game 1 starter because he has the best record against LHB (by far) and we'll be facing plenty of those. Both ball parks favor LHB and many of our LHB won't be playing as noted above.

I submitted Big Walt to start the Wild Card Game at least three times, the game ignored me, sent (97) Tom Seaver instead, and the Critters were rushed for nine by the Rancho Bernardo Dropped Balls.

Awesome.

Color me grumpy.
