sigh....  you know that feeling you get when you go to call up your next-in-line player from AAA to replace your injured star and the replacement player is on the DL for 3 months?  Yeah, that's what I have right now.  Looks like we'll be going to a 4-man rotation or starting a RP.

but its all about the bullpen 2.76 ERA #2 in the league, which is why NJ is ahead of me

That's the only reason is it?

Don't worry we plan on making the playoffs 6 years in a row, but being the biggest chokers... we'll probably be 6 years straight without even making the championship game, let alone winning a title.

I hate tuesdays cause there is no update. BTW my AAA Dons with pretty much my entire AA team swept the #1 seed in the playoffs. That was cool.

Been a busy several days between work and family... regarding the Amateur Draft Pools and player development... I'm going to hold off on making any changes or adjustments to anything. We hadn't gotten through a full cycle of players in our feeder leagues and the league itself is only 6 seasons old. My stance and decision is to let things play out and we can reassess after a few more seasons.

2nd September sim has been completed. New file is up and reports/Statslab will be updated as soon as possible this morning!

Final regular sim is FRIDAY! Vote for Season Awards in Statslab!

We have playoff races that will certainly come down to the final regular season series...
-FL East: Kentucky has a 2 game lead over Texas & Illinois and a 3 game lead over Indiana
-FL Wildcards: Texas and Illinois have the same record and hold the 2 WC spots with Indiana just 1 game back
-PL North: New Jersey has a 5 game lead over Ontario
-PL Wildcards: Ontario has a 3 game lead over North Carolina for the 1st WC, North Carolina has a 3 game lead over Virginia for the final WC spot

How will things play out?

Well it could get very interesting, we have a 3 game series at home versus Ontario to end the season and of course injuries have robbed us of C Nielsen (back during the playoffs I hope) and MR Jones (rest of the season).

Good luck to everyone still in with a shot of making it, except Ontario

Must have had a good sim i gained 2 games NJ and If Virgina makes the playoffs 1 year turnaround from expansion and ya you could destroy my playoff hopes like the 1987 tigers did to the Jays, but don't break any-legs please.

Indeed you did, we went 6-4 and lost 2 games to you... I don't mind if you make the playoffs, but in a wildcard spot will be fine

Its to early for that man, and that band is playing every day in the locker room we hope its down to 2 games when we play

Huge 3-game series during the final sim between NC and VA!

NC (48-27 home, 38-40 road) final schedule:

3 games vs Maryland (27-51 road)
3 games vs Virginia (31-44 road)
3 games @ Georgia (29-46 home)

VA (52-26   home, 31-44 road) final schedule:

3 games vs Georgia (35-43 road)
3 games @ North Carolina (48-27 home)
3 games @ New York (26-49 home)

[Chappy]

So my remaining opponents are winning 38% of their games (accounting for home/road) and Virginia's opponents are winning 48% of their games.  That gives us a slight edge, but the 3 head-to-head games will be ever so important.

[mukerka]

fuck, the 14 innings against Illinois killed all my RPs and I pay it against New Mexico with 2 losses in the last two games of the sim.

Illinois has the easiest final sim so I would say that he will be in the playoffs and Kentucky has 2 wins lead so they will be there too. Indiana and Texas will be fighting for the last spot. This is my prediction

[JKGuy16]

With a 3 game series to play in the final sim too.

8-7 for Texas this year ... really tight
