Not the first heartbreaking walk off Eck has surrendered...
But to be fair, I was two years old when Gibson ruined him in the World Series.
I was 3.
Wait, so this isn't a league full of 35+ people? Huzzah!
This just raises the question of why we're on this archaic forum...I could just build us a subreddit...Takes like 5 minutes.
at one point most of us liked pearl jam and came here
we stayed for the fake baseball

Wait. I could rid my life of this godforsaken board?
I am intrigued.

So is 6 SPs the recommended amount and then fill out the staff with actual relievers?

By my count we've got sixteen, eight AL and eight NL...
American League
Red Sox (chud/numbers)
Tigers (Skitch)
Brewers (spike)
Blue Jays (phil)
Orioles (Ruddo)
Athletics (davidwiers)
Mariners (phil)
White Sox (Lament)
National League
Cardinals (Kaius)
Cubs (TBAMTS)
Braves (CopperTom)
Marlins (4/5)
Dodgers (Argo)
Phillies (EJ)
Expos/Nationals (chud)
Astros (numbers)
We want to keep the Brewers in the AL and the Astros in the NL, right?

There's a blank spreadsheet you can download. Do a find+replace to change the player name placeholders to your actual player names. Then after every game just copy and paste the stats from the box score to your spreadsheet. If you list the first 8 players in the same order that is going to be your lineup you can copy paste in very few steps using Firefox.

Also, once your rosters are finalized please copy and paste your full 25 man roster in this thread. I'm experimenting with a league wide spreadsheet and I'll need to see your rosters to make that happen.

Yeah, I feel like any changes would be just for the sake of change.

As soon as I find a template for an eight team schedule, I'll try to pop out an AL and NL schedule (the one I have is ten).

I was nine when it was Alomar's turn.

He's the greatest.
I mean, as Billy James said, you could split Rickey in two, and have two hall of famers.

Do I have time to do some more mining and possibly switch things up a bit? Like, a day, two at most?
