wow looks like mjkrunner hit the jackpot in the Pressure Cooker theme... great division to get in the AL conference which is bound to be weaker.

Honestly, I'd be shocked if he didn't take that division going away.

120M question: just to clarify, the drafted players are exclusive to your own CONFERENCE only, correct? So if Babe Ruth gets drafted in the NL, he can also be drafted in the AL?

Jtpsops will lead for the first half though

I have no clue what to do with the $90 Mil league. I’ve drafted both teams, and I hate them both.

$80 mil, no problem, $100 mil, no problem, but $90 mil, I can’t do it.

He'll have a 3 game lead in this weak division with 4 to play and be facing the 95-loss team. He will go 1-3 while the second place team will go 4-0 to force a one-game playoff. In this playoff game, he will hold a 5-2 ninth inning lead and give up three in the top of the ninth. He will load the bases with no outs and fail to score in the bottom of the inning. Neither team will score for 7 innings despite the fact his opponent's 200K mop-up pitcher has pitched the last three innings, all scoreless.

Finally, in the 17th inning... well you know what happens.

In the $160M theme, are the 1890 PL Giants considered a different franchise from the 1890 NL Giants?

Boy, I am in the soup now...

This is really rude and insensitive.

Why would you just assume tigerrott or thehuseman will have 95 losses?

Are you suddenly wishing you hadn’t won both of those WS

Yup! Would still be in the cage, but NOT in a division with you, schwarze and mensu. My team name will be "All Of You".

I must say, despite the *** whuppin' I am about to take, I was fired up about my playoff performance. Definitely the highlight of a long and slightly above average WIS career.

In all honesty, if I were to pick anyone to dominate their division, it would be Skunk. He's pretty much the best there is at this cap level/open format... In my opinion.
