Damn it, first 0-6 in the PM2 game. Sucks.

Geez,what happened here? My teams are a combined 6-24 since the All-Star Game.

I am not sure what to think of this division.  Complete  medicrocity?  Evenly matched division keeping wins down?  I don't know.  

White Sox 05-29	48-50	0.490	-	-	7-3	W3	29-20	19-30	0-0	buddhagamer
Braves 1988-2012	47-51	0.480	1	-	5-5	W2	25-25	22-26	0-0	2chair
Dodgers 52-76	47-51	0.480	1	-	5-5	W2	25-23	22-28	0-0	oskies
Another 1902-1926 Indians	47-51	0.480	1	-	7-3	W5	28-21	19-30	0-0	profcake

I'll be done with SIM baseball after this tournament. I'm tired of paying for complete randomness. I never claim to be a great owner, but there's never any rhyme or reason to this game. After having 4 teams in it for most of the tournament so far, I'm like 3-27 in the last 5 cycles and two teams have suffered an inexplicable collapse when absolutely nothing with my fatigue or roster has changed. I probably won't be checking my teams much over the duration, so good luck everyone.

Looks like Schwartz might actually win his own tourney this time... he's opened up a commanding 9 game lead over Brianjw and every single one of his teams has won at least 60 games.

Keep in mind that round 2 counts double.  A few years ago, I finished in 3rd in round 1, then proceeded to have all 6 teams go over .500 and each fail to make the playoffs.  Ended up 10th place overall.  Second round is what counts.

Tom Seaver loses the no-hitter AND the game in the 9th in the AM game today in the $100M league - Blew a 2-0 lead. Ouch.

This is probably a jinx but I have been about 40 games under .500 at one point and am finally within 1 game of .500......not that .500 is supposed to be a good thing but it feels a lot better than .450....maybe we can sneak 3 teams into the playoffs and make the top24...

Can we expect an update on the best division out there? Only asking because its frustrating being in probably the toughest division out here...not mad about it, glad to be apart of it...

It would be neat if you could isolate opponent strength by backing out the given owners own record

The NL East in our 70M league is crazy. It might end up that the four best records in the league (in the NL that is, not in the whole 24 teams) are in the one division.
