The Mullets and coach David Spade stood no chance in that one...

I get those fashion mavens next at Kleenex Coliseum...

Up to 3-1 with a 7-2 victory over Wyandotte...

Time for the Colorado Greyhounds to go down...

An easy 6-2 win over IHateMikeBrowns Cincinatti team makes the Atlanta Grandes 3-1!

I wonder how this might lend itself to a dynasty report, I don't really think its in depth enough to do a good one.

I'm liking my pitching staff early on

I'm going for first place in our big three game series. Fremont is off to a nice 4-2 start. I have a feeling this league might be a little addicting....

I'm just hoping to come out with one win, so I'll still be on top.


You missed out on my best pitcher, Shane Pennington, he just pitched his 2nd CG, and this one was a shutout.


And he's only 23, can you you say HOFer. Control potential is a 89 and endurance is 96.

Fear us! We have one guy hitting over .222. And it's our 36YO 1B. Who has committed 3 errors in 7 games. Oh, yeah.

When, uhh, is the draft again?

I wonder if those 2 big FAs will ever sign. I don't know if I would. The 3B is at 8 million per year and the LF is at 10 million. they are increasing their own salaries by about a million per day of holdout.

Looking at other established leagues it looks like the front runners are spending around 45million on salary alone.

Ouch, my hitters are really strong but my relievers...

Their poor perfomance is the main reason of the sweep against the Catholics.

Weak FA market favors these 2 hold outs. How high will the bidding go? Will uncontrolled spending foil owners control of the game? Will Nancy every find true love?

The left fielder just signed minutes ago it appears. Who got him? Wasn't me, I was going after him but my best young guy is a left fielder(23 years old, hitting stats all in the high 40s/low 50s, speed 86, defense 60+)

The 3rd basemen is still out there though, *him* I want badly

What's funny is that I put both of them out on free agency, as well as the 20 yr old stud SS that bbor signed.

Between the time I checked the site last night and the time I checked this morning, my team had lost six straight games. Not a nice thing to wake up to. At least the season goes by quickly.

Is there a way to get team statistics? I saw the individual league leaders, but no way to get leaders by team. I wonder where my team ERA ranks?! Team ERA is 3.40 so far

The bidding on the LF went to $10,000,000? Serves me right for going to sleep - I had the highest offer on him at $7,750,000 last night around 11PM Pacific time.

I can't figure out who got him - is there any way to see other team's complete rosters?

The Palm Desert Avengers stand at 5-6.

Aside from a couple of our pitchers rocking the world, we are a 100% mediocre team, with one gigantic field.

Heh. The count for my 1B is now 4 errors in 10 games (sadly, he's the only player I have hitting over .250). Eric Karros lives!

I forget precisely which page it was, I think it's the "manager" link. You set a fatigue level at which a player will automatically sit and his backup will come in. For the couple of players that this mattered, I had a backup in the same position who would sub in. Once the starter rests (usually takes just one game), he goes back in.

Most lineup micromanagement happens when you want to have a four-man pitching rotation. You have to keep tweaking the lineup to keep that fifth starter from playing. This tends to happen more often during the playoffs.

The Avengers start off their homestand right, with back to back pitcher's duel victories.

And, we signed the mighty SS! Whoo!

My team is steadily losing ground on first place. The Sooners are now 9-4 and have a 4 game series with the #2 team, the Calibri, who are only 1 or 1.5 games back.

I'm sure someone will lose interest eventually, and a team will free up.

Woo-hoo! I won the 3B sweepstakes (Miguel Lavin) for a measley $10,550,000 - a bargain

Hopefully he'll help us close ground on the red-hot Manchester team...

I was wondering where that 3B would end up. Now I can't wait to see what you resign him for next year/month. I bet he resigns for close to his original asking price of 2.9.


Is the 10th batter in a game a myth? I have yet to see an in game replacement. I have my setting cranked to 50% and not yet, but the season is still young.

And why 1981?

Woo Hoo!!! After a lowly 2-2 start, my Manchester Silver Bullets have rolled off 11 straight wins!! I'm pleased w/ my team era 2.84, and i have atleast 4 guys in double digits for rbi's.

If anyone does need a catcher, i have one available. Brent Gass, he has an 83 in BA, 73 in Speed, and he's in the 50's in both contact and discipline. He does only have a 38 in slugging however.
