The new drama free thread.

*** ALL TEAMS ARE CLAIMED ***
Since my last thread got a little hairy for a minute, I regrouped and started a new thread.

Here's what's going on. I've made two executive type decisions.

League Name: North American Baseball Conference (NABC)

Alignment (subject to change):
2 Leagues/2 Divisions (claimed teams = *

Code:

NL
East                              West              
Chicago Cubs*             Atlanta Braves*
Montreal Expos*          Cincinnati Reds*
New York Mets*           Houston Astros*
Philadelphia Phillies*    LA Dodgers*
Pittsburgh Pirates*       SD Padres*
St. Louis Cardinals*      SF Giants*
Florida Marlins*             Colorado Rockies*

AL
East                             West
Baltimore Orioles*     Chi. WhiteSox*
Boston Red Sox*       Anaheim Angels*
Cleveland Indians*    KC Royals*
Detroit Tigers*           Oakland A's*
Milwaukee Brewers*  Minnesota Twins*
New York Yankees*    Texas Rangers*
Toronto Jays*             Seattle Mariners*

Contracted are the Diamondbacks & Devil Rays. This makes 4 7-team divisions, which I think is pretty ideal. Milwaukee is moved back to the AL, and Bud Selig is given the middle finger for his troubles.

Designated Hitter:
We will keep the DH in the American League through the first sim season, with the DH rule put on the agenda for the 'winter meetings'.

Owners:
Claimed Teams:
manderson - Chicago Cubs
King822 - Philadelphia Phillies
treedom - Toronto Jays
remangiii - Baltimore Orioles
bats1980 - St. Louis Cardinals
sbassyen - San Francisco Giants
Mike D - Chicago WhiteSox
chssocr8 - Boston RedSox
Brandon_Webb - Oakland A's
marklaker - Florida Marlins
steinr99 - Cincinnati Reds
nate7891 - Houston Astros (league president)
srtfreeze - Anaheim Angels (league president)
Carlton - Brewers (co-commish)
dingles87 - New York Yankees
pujol5 - Texas Rangers
Raderick24 - San Diego Padres
(AIM: h4rp0) - Montreal Expos
truthserum - Minnesota Twins
terryhedglin - Kansas City Royals
oregon - New York Mets
DougWyatt - Detroit Tigers
ootp5nut - Atlanta Braves
K Step - Los Angeles Dodgers
(AIM: feetballajd) - Cleveland Indians
(AIM: Zadillo) - Pittsburgh Pirates
me - Seattle Mariners (still)

Mfitterer (Spiceoflife/whatever other handles) will not be a part of the league. I can't emphasize enough, I WILL NOT DEAL WITH DUMB HIGHSCHOOL DRAMA.

Sim schedule:
Looks like we'll do a 2 sims a week schedule, Treedom offered to help sim once a week, so we'll do a Wed/Sat schedule.

Website:
I'll maintain the website with help from whoever. RPG'ed articles are not a necissity, and no incentives will be given for participation. All you have to do is set up your line-ups, manage your rosters and try not to suck.

*** I'm working on the website now. I'm checking out a <s>2004 opening day</s> VERY recent roster set supplied by Mike (ootp5nut).***

*** and since this has come up, since I haven't decided on a roster set, I have no problems with an owner jumping to an open team.***

treedom · 02-07-2004, 05:40 PM

Damn, I really miss that 4 division alignment.

Mike D · 02-07-2004, 05:41 PM

I'd take the White Sox then Pat.

chssocr8 · 02-07-2004, 05:58 PM

Hey..I am a veteran in these ootp leagues so if you need someone to help you I(Red Sox) would be glad to help you,although I dont own the game. Just let me know

chssocr8
Boston Red Sox

Also, Great idea on the 4 division league..thats how it should be

patricknerd · 02-07-2004, 06:09 PM

Chss,
Could you pick up the game? I've told several people that owning the game is a requirement. I just don't want to spend all that time updating a bunch of teams when it could be done by the owner. Plus, with everyone owning the game, it puts everyone on the same level. Everyone can see the same stats, everyone can export by the same deadline. You know?

mandersen · 02-07-2004, 06:33 PM

Patrick, can you post your AIM address?
btw, I still like my idea better of contracting all 4 new teams. Oh well. Cubs Rule!

marklaker · 02-07-2004, 06:53 PM

If the Florida Marlins are still available I'd like to bid for them. My AIM is Marklkr and and I own the game. I'm in a couple other leagues and I'll never get carded at the liquor store.

Mark

steinr99 · 02-07-2004, 06:58 PM

I sent you a PM on the availability of the Cincy Reds. I'd like to run them. Also, did I mention I graduated college and i'm not a fan of high school games either?

Thanks
Mike

patricknerd · 02-07-2004, 07:06 PM

Manderson. AIM is: digitaldis4ster
I decided to keep Col. & Fla because I like even divisions, 6 & 6, 7 & 7, etc.

Florida and Cincy are now spoken for.

chssocr8 · 02-07-2004, 07:37 PM

I am going to buy the game this weekend so count on me for the BoSox

patricknerd · 02-07-2004, 07:44 PM

good copy.
I need all owners to email me, jinx_1978@netzero.com

Carlton · 02-07-2004, 09:16 PM

When are you looking to start Patrick?

Are you going to go right into OOTP6 when it comes out? (I usually don't buy new versions until all major kinks are worked out)

PM or reply and let me know and as a Vet of OOTP leagues I will be glad to be your co-commish, since I like the premise of 2 divisions

and I will take the worst team not spoken for, usually the Brewers, Rays or Expos...so that way when a commish loses 100 games the owners feel better

dingles87 · 02-07-2004, 09:18 PM

are the yankees available? i've been in ootp leagues before, but just bought the game today. my aim is dingles87

patricknerd · 02-07-2004, 09:44 PM

Carlton,
I think we might be two weeks away from starting. I have to get together with the league presidents/co-commish to write up the league bylaws, get the site up, and then figure out & run the contraction draft.

I'll saddle you with Milwaukee, who are back in the American League.

Dingles, Yankees are yours.

pujol5 · 02-07-2004, 10:01 PM

I will decide to bring Texas out of the AL West cellar.
