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

[BigRedLedbetter]

When do we recieve our playoff hats and tshirts?

When do the ones that got printed up for the Rangers get shipped to a third world country?

[philpritchard]

Is there any team that has been even remotely close to as good as the Jays at baserunning? The team as a hole is 48 for 58, so lots of stolen bases and an 83% success rate. My pitching and hitting have both been pretty mediocre/awful, so I like to think the baserunning is keeping me afloat.

They were shipped to chud, but he refused them and said "We don't celebrate the things we expect to accomplish."

Sweep the Cubs and you're in.

(I think)

Cardinals and Royals (GODDAMMIT) are both in with a split tomorrow.

[The Argonaut]

I have my stats up to date to the all star break. So far, Gehrig has the most impressive slash line on the team (.321/.413/.608), and also leads in HR and RBI (8/33).

I'm gonna repost this excerpt from the OP, cause I don't know how many people have actually read through it...

The top six teams in the standings at the end of the season will make the playoffs. First and second place will receive byes into the semifinals. Tie-breakers for the second and sixth spots will be settled via play-in game. These games are considered part of the regular season, so pitchers in them are subjected to regular season rest restrictions. Tie-breakers for the other spots will be based on head-to-head record. If the teams split their meetings, the tie will be broken by whoever had the better record against the highest seeded team overall (this will carry down in the standings until the tie is broken).

There will be a day off in between the regular season and postseason. Any play-in games will take place on this day off. There will be one game per day in the playoffs to allow people a chance to tailor their rotation/lineup in response to the results of the previous day's games*. All series are best of seven, 2-2-1-1-1 format. You will have the option to start a pitcher on two games' rest TWICE during the entire playoffs. As with the regular season, a pitcher needs full rest after starting on short rest.

*We can discuss the possibility of running a second game on certain days if both teams acknowledge they're ready to go.
