All-Time Franchise Baseball Tournament: RED SOX WIN IT ALL!

[E.H. Ruddock]

Not sure if this has been addressed, but is there a DH?

[Norah]

nope

Christmas/holiday gift idea for Lament.......

I got bored and overhauled the fuck out of my White Sox team.

And, yet, still no Chet Lemon.

He said he'd only play if he got to wear the shorts again.

[Lament]

For ease of scheduling, we may have it so that when you play an opponent you play them twice that day, home & away. If we take weekends off that'll put our postseason starting on October 27th. If we don't take weekends off, that'll have our postseason starting on October 22nd (allowing for a day-off in between the end of the regular season and postseason).

For what it's worth, this is the final slate of teams, as the deadline for signup was 3PM today:

Baltimore Orioles
Boston Red Sox
Chicago Cubs
Chicago White Sox
Cincinnati Reds
Cleveland Indians
Detroit Tigers
Houston Astros
Kansas City Royals
Montreal Expos
New York Yankees
Pittsburgh Pirates
Seattle Mariners
St. Louis Cardinals
Texas Rangers
Toronto Blue Jays

Good work, guys. I was thinking we'd end up with eight teams. Sixteen is impressive.

[Norah]

Man, that is a good team.

[@SkitchP]

Bob Veale

him?

[Chris_H_2]

What's the hold up with the Chicago Cubs? That should be pretty easy. They have a ridiculously good all-star team.

[EJ]

Bob Veale

him?

Yes, him. He was a beast. Why?

Thanks, Chud. It was fun digging into some of the history of this franchise.

[philpritchard]

Well... at least I have the built-in excuse that I have a lot less history to work with. Some of these teams are just ridiculous.

[philpritchard]

Bob Veale

him?

I was just about to make this exact post.

[philpritchard]

He's really funny.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Well... at least I have the built-in excuse that I have a lot less history to work with. Some of these teams are just ridiculous.

Hey man, I've got the Mariners.

[@SkitchP]

He's really funny.

Its as bob as the glasses on plain's face.

[EJ]

Half of my team would fill an all-nerd team.

[philpritchard]

Well... at least I have the built-in excuse that I have a lot less history to work with. Some of these teams are just ridiculous.

Hey man, I've got the Mariners.

1977 represent!

[numbers]

Yea, when I put together the Astros team it was slim pickings at some of the spots.

[Kaius]

Man, that is a good team.
