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

[numbers]

We would be a real band of brothers by the end of that.

[Norah]

I'm glad to hear that, Skitch.

I think chud's love for the whatif tournaments is pure enough that he'd never taint them with his actions.

All joking aside, this is way too much fun to fuck up by cheating.

[Kaius]

Give me 60 or give me death.

[Norah]

60 or gtfo

[EJ]

Give me 60 or give me death.

Yeah, what this guy said.

[Lament]

Day six has been run. I'll post it later when I wake up.

[philpritchard]

So right now we have five era tournaments scheduled plus the franchise tournament. We need to come up with two more and finish it off with eight teams in the tournament of champions.

[numbers]

People pick a year and select the best players of that year.

[numbers]

A proven PED users only tournament.

[BigRedLedbetter]

People pick a year and select the best players of that year.

I like this idea a lot.

[@SkitchP]

Someone go wake up Lament.

[@SkitchP]

[@SkitchP]

Pretty excited about how effective Zumaya and Hiller have been.

[Lament]

Tigers might have the best pen this far into the season.

Break up the Royals.

For real. If the playoffs started today, all four AL Central teams would make it.
