Wow, four solo homers and an excellent performance by our #1 pick to seal the series.  Home team won every game.  Good series Mike, do I smell an NC-NJ rivalry brewing?

We have arrived to the League Championship Series. File/reports are up and Statslab will be updated shortly.

Congrats to NC for the 4-0 win in game 5. A quick question though for Matt - did you import my export for game 5?
The pitcher I set to start didn't start despite being on 100% rest. I'm assuming you did and I did something wrong at my end.

I had set Stan Craft to start, not Dave West. I elevated Stan Craft to position 3 (I'm not using 7 day lineups), selected him as "Next Starter" and set rotation mode to "Strict Order" however he still didn't start. It's obvious why I wanted him to start, his record this season is considerably better than West's and West is declining at a rapid pace for a 34y/o plus he had already lost a playoff game.

Just wondering if anything weird happened (or I did something weird) that caused the guy I wanted I wanted to start, not to get the start.

Yes a very good series, one I'm very pleased to have a chance at after the first 2 games - I believe game 1 was crucial, getting the win over Triple Crown winner Sepulveda set you guys up, we hit great at home, but couldn't muster anything of substance on the road. Good luck in the next round!

Congratulations Oregon, on advancing to the LCS.  A complete game from your starter didn't leave me much hope.

Mike, I did import all the teams. Sorry not sure what happened...

No worries, our guys couldn't hit Norberto Leon anyway so I doubt it impacted greatly, if at all.

Just wanted to know if I had made a stuff up so I can get it right next year. Maybe 7 day lineups is the best way in the playoffs to ensure I get the guys starting where I want them.

NC is exported and ready to go.

[mstreeter06]

I'm ready to sim whenever Ohio is ready to go either tonight or as scheduled tomorrow morning. If it's in the morning it'll probably be around 7 or 8 Pacific Time since I'm currently in California. Thanks guys!

[mikezone13]

I'm going to be naughty and throw some predictions into the mix.

Texas to win the series 4-2 and North Carolina to upset Ohio 4-3 for the series.

Had something pop up guys. Sim will happen as soon as I can this morning. Thanks!

[mstreeter06]
