Ben Crossin, who played 157, 154, 154, 160, & 160 games for NY over the last five years, is out for month after 7 games with Maryland. Can't make this stuff up!

For the record there was no known pre-existing condition at the time of trade

Turrble start for the Aviators. 

But given how many of the losses were by 1 run, I'm not worried.

Gotta run out the door to get to work but new file should be up in the next 5 or so minutes. I'll get reports and Statslab updated soon. Thanks guys!

[mstreeter06]

Everything should be updated now. Thanks!

Texas is in the last spot in the FL East. Something have to change in my team for the next sim but a lot of things arent working right now. Players like Mendoza, Rosado or Correa are with avg close to 0.200 and between them only 4 home runs but 56 strikeouts in only 17 games jajajajaj. That should be a record!!!

I'm considering unchecking the "Enable Storylines" option for the league. This would remove players retiring or walking away from the game randomly from a non-injury. I'm fine with either side of this option though. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Please remove it.

That's more of my opinion. I see why it's an option but for us it adds nothing and could cripple a franchise unfairly.

Tim Francis was one of the victims. Remove it ...

How often has that actually happened since the league began? Is it more, less, or on-par with CEIs?

In a no finances league where clubs can tend to remain static for years, I think storylines adds a solid random variable.

But I mean players retire. Would it stop normal retirement for age?

Yeah, good point.

I can think of 3 so far in our 5+ years. Luis Bravo (convicted and served jail time), Ron Pratt (mormon mission), and Tim Francis (donated kidney to sister).

I'm not sure the number of CEI we've had as a league. I know the recent one was NC's Boots Thompson.
