Not that I'm an expert, but George Bell is the classic example of the type of player I never use.  A modern-era HR hitter that doesn't walk.  I don't like the Jimmie Fox season you used either (a power hitter, with a relatively low avg).  Even Josh Hamilton is a player I would rarely use (good obp, but HRs that won't be reproduced in the sim).  Still, the rest of your team is underperfoming even more than normal.

Well, actually, I *would* consider you an expert. Anyway, at least George Bell was pretty cheap. It's one thing to be cheap and unproductive, but when players are expensive and unproductive (attention Josh Hamilton!), well, that's a killer...

Well, I just suffered my second 0-6 session in the last 48 hours.  That drops me from 13th place to 22nd place (only 3 games from being out of the top 24).  Not only that, but I have 4 teams in first place, but all four are only a game or two from dropping to second and missing the playoffs.  The year I don't make it into round 2 will be the year the WIS Championship ends.

note to WISC participants - throw games vs schwarze

Follow up with 1-5. I don't think I've ever had this bad a run.

My teams are going through some serious mood swings.  While one team just keeps losing (the 70$ team) while another team like that is doing just fine......UGH

added on the 3rd or 4th schwarze of my tourney...any word on when round 2 themes get posted?

Soon. 

I get just my second 6-0 of the entire tournament and it's followed by a 2-4 and 1-5.  Ugh.

another 6-0 in the pm2 games..after starting to drop a bit they're picking back up...never believed i'd be this high this late into the season..can't get too excited yet..

Two straight 1-5 sessions.  26th overall... Just shoot me and get it over with.

And take me with you...

I'll be the third...

don't forget me please

on that note - I am shocked by what is going on in the 120mil league....some very strange strategies that seem to be paying off so far.......
