FOOL 2037 Regular Season

[Alan T]

10/12:

Edmonton 6, Napa Valley 2
Boston 8, Newark 4

Boston 90-71
Edmonton 90-72

Edmonton has finished their last game of the season. With Boston having just one remaining game, Edmonton faithful have to root for a Newark victory to force a best of 3 playoff series between the two teams.

Boston just needs one more win to clinch the playoff spot. They hold their fate in their hands.

[Alan T]

Pitching matchups:

Rick Klassen pitches for Boston (15-11 4.02 ERA)
vs
Tom Hayne for Newark (6-12 5.96 ERA)

Congrats chief and buck.

Personally, it feels much better when you weren't sure what to expect at the start of the season. I'm gonna sleep like a baby tonight.

10/13:

Boston 5, Newark 1

The Boston Settlers clinch the final playoff spot on the last day of the 2037 season!

Yeah, I sure as heck didn't expect this. I'll certainly take it.

Congrats Eddie (and Montreal).

Sorry, Eric, just not your year, man.

[Tasan]

Well, I'll take the 4th pick as consolation. Thanks everyone for winning when we didn't!

[Tasan]

Congrats playoff teams! Don't get too comfy, we'll be back soon.

[Montreal_GM]

Congrats Eddie.

Thanks Alan for another great night.

Must go to sleep now!

[Chief Rum]

After some thought, I have decided I am going to keep Betancourt.

[Chief Rum]

I just remembered my salcap number is under $50 M right now. This has been a really weird season. By the numbers, this team is worse than last year's.

[Alan T]

Frank Dawson improves his career batting average to .360 which is the tops in FOOL history. (2nd - .353 Antonio Arias)

Frank Dawson's Career Slugging % of .641 and career OPS of 1.042 are also the highest of all time. (2nd slg % - .579 Felipe Aguilea , 2nd OPS - Jose Colon .988)

Juan Sierra wins 10 more games this season, going 10-17. He finishes the season with 398 Wins. Will he retire or go for his final 2 wins for 400 in his career??

[buckinbranco]

As far as I know, Dawson still has one more year of arbitration. I'm probably mistaken though.

I think he got enough service time this season to become a free agent. I don't think you want to take that chance!

The game's saying he's about to go free. Along with just about everyone else on your team. Santos, Le, Sanchez, Montoya, Zavala--lots of decisions to make.

[Chief Rum]

I always forget this--does service time for minor leaguers accrue in the postseason?

I honestly don't remember.

[buckinbranco]

It does. That happened to me last season when I brought up Blowey for the playoffs.

[Tasan]

They get a day, I believe, maybe more.

[Chief Rum]

Actually Blowey's card says no pro service. Maybe it's a temporary thing, but resets for the new season.

[Alan T]

The new file is up!

HTML will finish some point while I sleep.

Playoffs run tomorrow night!

A small programming note, I have to travel for work later in this week (Thursday morning.) I need to re-arrange the schedule for the back part of the week.

I'll run Thursday's sim that evening, most likely late and Friday night's sim will run probably after midnight when I get back home from the airport.

I'll make the spring training sim due Sunday evening 11pm ET so people who are gone for the weekend have time to get it in.

If you are going to have issues with this schedule, please let me know.

[EddieK]

Wow what a race! I love waking up Tuesday morning and reading this!

[TeachEnEspanol]

Wow! Congratulations Kevin, Eddie, Buck, and Chief! (It's early, I hope I did that right!)

Good luck tonight!!!

[buckinbranco]

Thanks for the great sim Alan. I'm looking forward to playing Chief in the postseason. It should be a fun series.
