We came up with one in another tournament, but I can't remember where it's posted off the top of my head. In the case of a three way tie, we have a three-team playoff. We'd use the best record vs. the top teams tie-breaker to rank them 1-3. Teams 2 & 3 would play, and the winner would then play team 1.

I believe we discussed having teams 1 & 2 play, with the loser playing team 3, and the winner of the second game playing the winner of the first, but the other set-up was determined to be preferable.

stats updated.


and the Giants wont catch that record, because I am really hoping to fill up my spreadsheet in a day or two.

I recommend doing the same with the Tigers.

Other than Avila starting I think only 3 games, I pretty much have.

I expect your "A" team to play against the playoff contending teams. Let's show some integrity here.

So not only did I lose to Joe Fucking Nathan, Bob Allison-the guy I told phatJ to keep in the lineup- hit the game winning HR with 2 down in the 9th.... after Torii Hunter extends the inning on Max Scherzer's error.


Goddamned Twins.

my problem's been pitching from day one. should've had chris bosio and jaime navarro in the pen; rookie mistake.

That wasn't pretty. Damn.

1. C. Anson - 3B
2. P. Cavarretta - 1B
3. S. Sosa - RF
4. E. Banks - SS
5. B. Williams - LF
6. H. Wilson - CF
7. R. Sandberg - 2B

Phil Cavarretta's second half numbers - .436/.500/.818

Rotation rest of the season:

Game 48 - Ellsworth

Game 49 - Brown
Game 50 - Maddux

Game 51 - Arrietta
Game 52 - Ellsworth

Game 53 - Brown

Full disclosure: the first half/second half splits on the spreadsheet are based on a 60 game season. So the "second half" is games 31-54.
