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

[Lament]

Alright, here's the deal. I have run all of the day five games except for Cubs-Blue Jays, since Phil indicated he had more changes coming. If you REALLY, TRULY, SINCERELY came to this thread this morning thinking you were going to make some changes before the games were run, I will allow it and resim your games with the changes in place. Otherwise, they're all good to be posted as soon as Phil lets me know what his Delgado-fied lineup looks like.

Also, from now on I reserve the right run the sims super early in the morning if it's gonna be more convenient for me at that moment. I'll still post them in the afternoon though.

[Norah]

I have no problem with this.

[numbers]

I saw that, we should get him involved in our next tourney.

Let me know if these are right. I think I am going to try to do games both days this weekend if life allows me to.

[Norah]

Numbers, what do we want to do with our lineup? Whatever we decide we should stay with for a few days. We can either revert to our original lineups, use something we experimented with today, or something else entirely.

[Norah]

It looks like Yaz hits lefty's well, but it also looks like Foxx might be worth having in the lineup.

[Lament]

Everything is tightening up. Twelve teams within three games of first place.

Also, I'm kinda worried #BRL might be a baseball genius. The four expansion teams not run by him are 13-27. His two expansion teams are 13-7.

[Norah]

[Lament]

Yeah, you've really got to find a way to get Yaz and Foxx in the lineup everyday.

[Kaius]

Gibson with 12 K's!

[Norah]

I just PMed numbers with some thoughts. We've got some decisions to make.

[Norah]

Tomorrow is a huge game for Bill Lee.

[Lament]

Gibson with 12 K's!

And he drove in a run too.

[Kaius]

Gibson with 12 K's!

And he drove in a run too.

He has a big stick and he likes to use it.

[Lament]

Cubs-Cardinals tomorrow. How do you feel about that, Kaius?

[Lament]

Shit, Tigers-Red Sox is gonna be good too.

Also, I am pretty sure Brady Anderson is leading the league in home runs.

[Norah]

Man this team is awful:

[Kaius]

Cubs-Cardinals tomorrow. How do you feel about that, Kaius?

Confident.
