Looks like 20-25 minutes for the upload to finish (if it doesn't bomb out for some reason)

ekcut · 11-23-2008, 11:38 PM

So, Chief, at last we meet again for the first time for the last time!!

Goodluck to all playoff teams!

I am not at relatives yet. I have been working this past week. I'll be heading to San Francisco later this week.

Congrats to Chief and Eric as well. Again they battle it out. Should be a fun couple of series.

New file is up. Playoffs will be run at 10pm ET Monday evening.

Chief Rum · 11-24-2008, 12:01 AM

Really, all life situations can be broken down with scenes from Spaceballs.

Tasan · 11-24-2008, 02:27 AM

I've exported. Hartford is gonna rip me I'm afraid. They played 9 under expected, and we were 1 over. Oh well, we'll get it all next year I think. Most of my remaining young guys filled the rest of the way out.

Tasan · 11-24-2008, 02:30 AM

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee timestamp issue again

Be positive and upset them. Don't be discouraged..you gotta be in it to win it.

Commo_Soldier · 11-24-2008, 09:52 AM

After looking at the file I have to say I am extremely dissapointed to be on the outside looking in at the playoffs. We had a great run at the end of the year to make it close, but just were unable to get the job done in April and what hurts even more against Wyoming. GL to all those in the playoffs and Chief or Ekcut you better bring it back to the CL.

Good news for you is that there is precedent for a team over performing getting it done in the playoffs vs. an under performing team. Bad news however for you and everyone else in a series against Hartford is the three studs they have. I'm not sure if they have done it yet, but it would be brutal to have to win 4 or 5 games facing only those three pitchers.

Anthony · 11-24-2008, 03:21 PM

this team is fucking crap.

Not the phrase I'd use, but ya, you've got some work to do.

There is nothing more frustrating than being a .500 team. You aren't good enough to compete, yet you arent bad enough to get the early draft picks that are good enough to build a team around. It's a lose-lose situation.

muns · 11-24-2008, 05:20 PM

Alan ive exported and also sent you a PM.

Good luck to all. Should be a fun night.

Ahhh I dont know about that. You should be just fine. The season series was just about even. Im hoping some of my guys will snap out of their funks. Mcgill had the worst year of his career this year along with SP Aquino and a few other key guys. Good luck Tasan, although I think im gonna be needing it more!

A .500 team drives me nuts. Its why I blew things up. I'm sure you have some good pieces to trade off for prospects. I'd highly recommend it.

Tasan · 11-24-2008, 07:25 PM

There's a good chance I won't be around for the first half of the sim tonight. Good luck everyone, except you, muns!

Cringer · 11-24-2008, 11:46 PM

Wow, positive stuff to talk about, hasn't happened for a while. Last year some, but not this much.

At 35 years old Ron Fritz had a career year. 19-4 record, 2.06 ERA, .188 OAVG, all career bests. Had his 2nd best career numbers for IP and Ks. The guy was 6-0 in April alone and 12-1 at home for the season.

My bullpen was a little rough this year, not a huge surprise. That cost me down the stretch I am sure.

C Jose Lopez is not Tanaka. Lopez bombed in his first year after the big $$ brought him to us. .231 BA, OBP not much better, a VORP of 7.6. Hope he decides to contribute a little more next season.

OF Stanley Patterson somehow managed to top his career year of last season. His BA of .357 is the exact same, but he matched his career high of 20 triples this year (9 last year), had a career high doubles (42), and plenty of other good stuff to have a career high VORP of 76.0.

I am actually a little disappointed in the numbers for George Stewart and Rigsby. Being All-Stars makes me think their positions were pretty week in the CL this year. Villalobos was excellent though. OF Hector Rodriguez dropped of in stats in a big way. Last year was probably the career year and the rest will be crap.

Now it's time to see how many guys I lose next year, it may be too much that next year I find it hard to even match this year's record.

that's the story of my MP career. in every league, just good enough to be .500 but bad enough to miss out on good draft picks.
