I'm 1) on a phone call and I 2) want to do a breakdown of the last few games.

So I'm going to upload a stage file, so you all can look at your teams. Then I'll do the breakdown and we'll sim the last few weeks of the season.

Cringer · 09-05-2008, 10:04 PM

Your girlfriend and I need to have a little chat about FOOL time.

TimGuru · 09-05-2008, 10:05 PM

Pride has me hoping for a .500 finish in Sept to surpass expectations. Pragmatism hopes I lock up first overall draft pick.

My wife's talking to me about rectal bleeding. THAT will crush the mood.

(She's a nurse. Don't get any strange ideas.)

Young Drachma · 09-05-2008, 10:06 PM

For the new guys, stage files...are just...a chance for you all to look and see what your team is doing. We don't import at this stage, etc. So don't get excited.

I'm actually not with her this weekend, sadly.

One of my friends from California called me.

Yeah, I'm seriously going to be pretty disappointed if I don't make .500 this year. I was feeling really good about making it, and was up there for a while, it seems.

If you can just win your three games vs Atlanta in September, I will view your season as a success!

Alan T · 09-05-2008, 10:10 PM

I'm not really liking my schedule compared to Atlanta's schedule for September. This one is going to be close.

So looking over the minor league champions since I haven't done that in a couple season, I just noticed that when El Paso moved to New Orleans they moved to the same city as the AA team. They still play in the same city together.
