On the first listing under the "Standings" thread, after 12 games, I was in fourth place.  I'm currently in 77th place.

When I go, I go big!

1-11 today. Whatever they did the last two days, stinks.

I have three teams with zero total SBs and one team with 187.

My first SCHWARZE of the year!  It only took me 360 games!

What's worse?  His 33 errors, his 10 "-" plays or his .313 in base percentage? 

I have not started Bishop in the last four games, instead going with 235k Tim Foli and 200k Del Maxvill.  I have pitched four consecutive shutouts in those games.  

Clearly my posting this means that I will get 3 errors and a - play from SS in the PM game and allow 12 runs but I think that's pretty funny.  Bishop is a cancer to my team.

Who's your other 2B?  Have you thought about moving Bishop to 2B and your other 2B to SS?  Could he possibly be worse at fielding?

My other 2B is B/C+ Eddie Collins (Bishop is A-/B).

In any case, I've rattled off a 6-game winning streak since benching Bishop, 2 runs allowed total in those six games.  He's clearly just a cancer.

My cumulative pythagorean W/L is .617
My cumulative actual W/L is .584

Yuck.

Marichal tosses 2 perfect games within a week in the $90M Pitching & Defense league.

As of today, 5 of my 6 teams would be in the playoffs. But my 6th team is 29-61! They are truly, truly bad. The problem is... I have absolutely no idea why! I've tried lineup changes and advanced setting changes, and everything I can think of, that will usually pull a team out of a bad slump, but in this case, nothing is working, and it looks like this one mystifying team is going to prevent me from going to the 2nd round this year...
