[Alan T]

Good grief, I completely missed it during the sim. Zaragoza had 11 RBIs in one game!?

[Alan T]

Anyways, the new file is up!

Playoffs run tomorrow morning throughout the morning.

impressive to say the least.

[Tasan]

Well, I thought we had it in us for a run this year. Looks like the kids put on a show and carried the team, too.

Trivia: What pitcher has never gone a whole season since 1964 without at least 1 pitcher of the month mention until this year?

I know the answer to this. I'll let someone else guess though

[EddieK]

Anyone having trouble updating the file?

[CleBrownsfan]

YEAH

[gstelmack]

It just went through to me (was not earlier).

[Alan T]

Yeah, server seems to routinely have issues Thursday morning for some reason. I sent another nastygram to the hosting company and they now have the server on their "active monitoring" list, whatever that means.

I guess I get what I pay for

[TheMeat]

Well, not as bad as it could have been in Balzac, 3rd worst.

3rd worst! 3rd worst! 3 worst!

It's my new crowd chant. A couple more lousy years then I'm set. I think.

[CleBrownsfan]

Alan - I think we would like playoffs predictions from the commish

Who do you think comes out of the RL and CL this year? Who wins it all?

hmm... without really any in-depth looking at the teams and just based on what I watched, I think London played over their heads and Washington should beat them to make the Classic. I think Cleveland and Spring were both fairly good teams. I think Spring is top heavy pitching wise that they have two solid options but nothing else. Having only 2 real strong pitchers would be fine if you can count on them winning every single game. I don't think either of Spring's top two were much beyond 60% though vs Cleveland (if that) this season though.

So I'll be utterly lame and pick both league regular season champs to move on to the classic this time around. I think overall Washington is likely the better team. It is hard to say, but I think the first month or two Cleveland overachieved slightly and Washington actually underachieved (despite being in first place).

So I would be surprised to see London beat Washington. I wouldn't be surprised to see Spring knock off Cleveland. Either way I like Washington to win it all.

[CleBrownsfan]

That's how I see as well. Washington's team is tough - hopefully I get a chance to upset them in the Classic!
If I do I'll make sure to do the....
