I'm in with Team Canada. Depending on turnout, I have a sibling team on standby.

[BigRedLedbetter]

Yeah dude! I am in. Very excited about this one. I also have a second team if needed. It's an all Cuban team in honor of my lovely Cuban GF and her weird love for Jose Abreu.

Team Heartlanders.

Everyone on this team is born in either Nebraska, North or South Dakota, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa or Minnesota. Get your steak, Kool-Aid, corn, cheese, snow blowers and long johns ready, bitches!

I don't know that I can come up with a sustainable idea for a team.

[The Argonaut]

trying to figure out if someone is black or not is making me feel like an asshole. i may need to come up with a new theme.

[BigRedLedbetter]

I wrote a paper in college about the decline in African Americans in MLB. I felt weird writing some of the parts. I just found it fascinating.

I got an A!

[BigRedLedbetter]

Really like the back end of my pen with Foulke, Henke and Olson. Which means they will probably tank for me.

The Terminator was disappointing for me in the franchise tournament.

[Norah]

When we run out of eras, we should go back to post strike and run it season style.

[philpritchard]

When we run out of eras, we should go back to post strike and run it season style.

Yeah, I loved my team in that one and it's really disappointing to think that we didn't have a chance to really see what they could do.

I still regret that no one drafted Derrek Lee.

I like it.

For real!

He was on my radar for a few rounds, but I already had Bagwell and Olerud.

[Lament]

My post-strike team may be the worst team assembled in any of the Era tournaments.

[Norah]

we could redraft it too if we wanted

[Lament]

After we finish the eras we could always redraw the boundaries. We could do single decade tournaments or something like that.

I actually kinda liked the idea of doing a tournament where each team represented a different decade.

[Norah]

Yeah, I'm just saying I'd really like another crack at post strike with a full season.

[Lament]

Are you suggesting you could take out Skitch?

[philpritchard]

I agree with both of you.

As for the post-strike tournament, I prefer a full season with the same teams because I love mine, but there might be different people interested next time.
