Young Drachma · 08-19-2009, 07:17 AM

Congrats to the other Boston team, Louisville and Brooklyn.

I'm not enjoying that I lost 2 of 3 to Brooklyn at the end of the season there in extra innings. Sounds like this is going to be one heck of a tough postseason road.

Now we just need a Boston/Boston Classic so that the news reports are hard to read...

DC, is there anyway for you to add the history of our league to the webreports or does that take up too much space? im bored at work and want to look back at the past 3 seasons.

bz · 08-19-2009, 11:02 AM

Congrats to Boston and Boston on winning their respective divisions.

I would like to know what happened with my export for the season? My team ended up using my spring training lineups (6 man rotation) for the year and what's even more confusing - a roster of 29 players. I now have players under contract and lose arbitration time for them to boot.

fairly · 08-20-2009, 01:42 AM

I didn't expect to go from 8th to playoffs in 1 season. Hope I got my export to you in time.

I fixed that last night for you. The game just wasn't uploading it for some reason. But it's all there now.

Young Drachma · 08-20-2009, 12:05 PM

I messed up and thought the off-day was yesterday, when it was playoffs. Oh well, gives you all a day to prepare for the post-season, as we'll sim it tonight.

Also, the user 'spot' has taken control of Washington. Thanks to Tasan for his work in the league joining us from our inception and leading the Nats for the first three years!

Thanks DC.

Hello to Alan and to MattG! I am very excited to try out this fast-paced thing. I am not a fan of historical, but that may make it a bit easier to get used to.

Looking forward to getting started.

Alan T Hall Of Famer Join Date: Dec 2002 Location: Mass.	Congrats to the other Boston team, Louisville and Brooklyn. I'm not enjoying that I lost 2 of 3 to Brooklyn at the end of the season there in extra innings. Sounds like this is going to be one heck of a tough postseason road. __________________ Couch to ??k - From the couch to a Marathon in roughly 18 months.

bz n00b Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: Ohio	Congrats to Boston and Boston on winning their respective divisions. I would like to know what happened with my export for the season? My team ended up using my spring training lineups (6 man rotation) for the year and what's even more confusing - a roster of 29 players. I now have players under contract and lose arbitration time for them to boot. __________________ Brian FOOL - New York Heroes FOOL-X- New York Legends
