I'm really excited for tomorrow's games. I better see results and not that picture of a cat when I wake up.

It would be so much more exciting if I could have pulled off even just one win today. Needing a sweep on both sides makes the AL race a near-sure thing.

because whatif is a terrible simulator.

We should have a Doormat Series between our two teams when the season wraps up.

I'll participate in a losers bracket, consolation series, etc. If Lament doesn't want to run the losers, I can run the sims on the weekend.

sounds good, something simple like a one game series for each round.

sounds great. can we not use whatif?

whatif seems to be working just fine for me. Anyone else having trouble? I would hate to lose spike on a technical glitch.

you won't be laughing when the brewers finish ahead of the cardinals in the standings this year!

Getting the backups some playing time tomorrow:
1. B. Herman - 2B
2. H. Suaer - CF
3. S. Sosa - RF
4. E. Banks - SS
5. D. Lee - 1B
6. R. Santo - 3B
7. K. Bryant - LF
8. G. Hartnett - C

And can I have Jenkins start game 1 instead of Brown.

Side note: Mordecai "Three Finger" Brown has allowed a total of 1 HR in 198 combined innings between the two Franchise tournaments.

I know that my statsheet is fucked up. I will fix it tomorrow. fuuuuuuuuuuu
