This is why I run the abandoned teams I help out with under a separate ID:

World	Franchise	Last Login	Current Season	Past Seasons	Big League Record
Mike Greenwell		STL Browns	10/14/2009 8:32 PM	12	0	71-45 (.612)
Rice Not Lynn		PHI Thundercats	10/14/2009 9:03 PM	12	0	7-55 (.113)
Gehrig		MNT Pepper Jacks	10/14/2009 8:32 PM	14	0	21-52 (.288)
Mays		SWB Stingers	10/14/2009 8:32 PM	14	0	5-38 (.116)
Morgan		CLE Stormtroopers	10/14/2009 8:32 PM	14	0	8-40 (.167)

I probably should have done that.

Kind of ruins any incentive to "turn them around", doesn't it?

The Greenwell team I got early enough in the season that it wasn't trashed yet. That one's looking at a #1 seed if it can continue at its current pace.

The other four I took over with almost their entire ML staffs at 0 (0). The Morgan team had an L33 before I got my first win there. That staff is just starting to come back to life.

It's kind of fun when you beat somebody and they post "DAMN! I just got beat by a 3-35 team!!!" in the world chat. Then you beat them in the next game too.

I've won 2 world series (yay me!) - both with teams I picked up as a replacement owner. Obviously they weren't wrecked like these teams were.

yeah, that was an amazing 22 game win streak in New guys last season.

While there is a logic to what you are saying, there are some owners whose incentive to 'turn them around' stems from an obligation to do the right thing. tec is one of those. He is always willing to help and he always does a great job.

While that may describe tecwrg2, tecwrg is a 'tard.

+1

I wish I would of done the same. I have 3 abandon teams on my resume and I did not think it would bother me, but every time I see that worst season of 120+ losses it does bother me.

Since you have helped us out many times, including this season, horrible would not be the name that our league would describe you as.
