I put a couple of feelers out but no dice. I'm surprised that Kevin Reynolds is still a Golden Eagle, might try to move him again in the off-season. 

This was like the second or third sim this season where I made a bunch of roster changes as soon as the update happened, waited to export in case I wanted to change anything last-minute, and then forgot to export! The not-anticipated-at-all debut of outfielder Liam Meadows has to wait until next sim!

SP Ed Haney ended a streak of five consecutive losses with two no-decisions, including 9.1 innings of 5-hit baseball against the Indiana Vipers in a game we ended up losing 2-1.

3.5 games back, 45 games to go with 6 of these against NC - we're going to put every effort into chasing the Aviators down.

The 9 game lead over 3rd place Ohio seems to be enough now that we have only 4 games left against the Knights.

One of the biggest talking points in New Jersey is whether or not Jorge Sepulveda will gain a hat trick of Triple Crowns. At the moment his main rival is the younger, but just as dominant, hurler from North Carolina, Norberto Leon - this is a race within a race that will surely go down to the final starts of the season.

We also lost All Star CF Martik Geboyan in the last sim - his on base ability is unequaled in the league and will surely be missed at the top of the lineup.

7 games left in the inaugural Battle for the Branch between California and Oregon! We've hung tough but are 6-10 against the Explorers this season. Will take a big effort to come away with the Branch this year, I may even tinker with the starting rotation to make sure Reynolds gets in both series. :)

Everything has been updated. The injury fairy hit hard especially for a few playoff hopeful teams. Check your rosters!  :-\

We're down to the final 4 regular season sims with the playoff race for the 2nd Wildcard in both leagues becoming interesting. In the FL, Colorado has a 11 game lead over Illinois who has been playing well. In the PL, Ohio holds only a 1.5 game over surging Pennsylvania. How will things shake out?

2-0 vs NJ today...  woot!

Aviators double our lead on the Jersey boys from 3.5 games to 7.0 games.

Norberto Leon is having a great season, and today was 2-0   with a 0.60 ERA in 2   starts, fanning 26 batters in 15 innings.

Crazy quiet on deadline day this season - is everyone really that happy with their teams? ;)

I'm happy with most of my team.

I could use an extra quality infielder and an extra quality outfielder, but I'm getting by without them and don't want to give up any of my prospects.

excellent sim to pull back to  .500. We are probably too far behind to make a playoff push, but given the missed games in the first half by key players, and the strong group of prospects in the system Illinois future seems bright.

Doug Wallace is having an incredible season on the hill, 16-5 2.34 ERA and .87 WHIP. Sam Jacobs is a lock down closer and the return of veteran pitcher Bin Zhu from a 14 month layoff has bolstered the pitching staff.

We'll be tough to beat down the stretch, but I think the gap is too wide to catch up in 2015...

Think I have to concede the division now - especially with Fowler gone for 5 weeks. Also looks like Leon will stop Sepulveda from getting a third Triple Crown, fair play to your boys.
