The league finally of it's feet and is now currently under way after simming Opening Day and Opening Week. The live sim ran for about an hour between 9 pm EST to 10 pm EST

Overall it was a huge succes for the players, the fans, the teams, the GMs, and the commishes.

The season kicked off with the Angels getting their first win over CC Sabbathia and the Indians with a 2-0 shutout. Jarrod Washburn pitch 7 and 2/3 shutout innings and earning him the game's MVP..

Four teams now claim the best records in the league, all starting off the season with 5-1 records. Those teams are Minnesota, Seattle, New York Yankees, and the New York Mets. All currently stand alone atop their respective divisions.

Making big surprises we're the San Diego Padres and the Philadelphia Philles, who both start the season off with winning records. The Padres (4-2) are the first place team out in the NL West, posting a 3 game sweep over division rivals San Francisco Giants and winning one against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Philadelphia (4-2) shocked the PTB world with a 3-game sweep over Florida Marlins and taking the last game of the first series between Atlanta Braves. They are second place in the NL East.
