Integration Era Baseball Tournament: GARAINALS ARE CHAMPS!

[Norah]

Yeah if we both make the playoffs it's whoever goes further, if we both get bounced in the first round it'll go by regular season record, I'd assume.

[Kaius]

Right.

[Norah]

And if that's tied, head to head.

[Kaius]

Hope to Babe it doesn't come to that.

[The Argonaut]

Well, I'm glad you guys finally decided on some rules.

I'll run the Integrated Argos-Phil City Pritchards games when I wake up later (assuming phil has named his starters).

[Lament]

Maury Wills is going back into the lineup (if for no other reason than to make filling in the spreadsheet easier). I want to get Don Buford some at bats, but he's stuck behind Pete Rose, who is the only guy in my lineup worth a damn (.362/.417./.543). I suppose that's the risk you take when you spend all of your early picks on pitchers.

[philpritchard]

Shit, sorry. Today it'll be Rush and Garcia.

[philpritchard]

I wish I hadn't messed Day 23 up... these are 2 huge games! A split and we've got a 4-way tie... a sweep either way and the winner takes sole possession of the last playoff spot. Intense!

I'm on pins and needles!

My entire end of season rotation got messed up by me forgetting how many games there were leading up to the all star break.

[Norah]

[philpritchard]

I assume it would be considered unfair for me to make a lineup change now, right?

[Norah]

yes

[Lament]

Ok, the last two games have been added to the original post with the results. Let me know when you know who you're starting tomorrow, phil.

[philpritchard]

Norm Cash and Boog Powell would like to emphatically throw their names into the MOP conversation.

My goal of having a well-rounded offense has worked out so far with the exception of the Colavito/Wynn/Jackson experiment in RF. I'm gonna go out on a limb and throw my super-pinch-hitter Whitey Kurowski out there for tomorrow's games. He's a 3B, but WhatIf put him in RF the other day when Jackson got ejected, so I'll give it a shot.

Also, Joe Torre has just gone apeshit since his horrible first 10 games.

[Lament]

Damn, 17 homers for Powell.

[The Argonaut]

lol, I split every day. Which is enough to scare me off from making line-up changes that I obviously need to make.
