When the standings link was posted, we found ourselves a combined 34 games under .500 and in 91st place.
Just made it back to .500.

Does bardin ever lose?  It was just a few days ago that I was one game out of first.  Eleven out now.  Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled to be that high.  Normally, I'm fighting for that 24th spot.  I've put a lot of 3-3 sessions up lately and each time I do, I lose 1-2 games to bardin.  His worst team is on a pace to win 92 games... his WORST team. 

ah - you beat me to the "bardin jinx" post.....nice work.

Ah... 0-6 in the PM2 games. Yes... excellent job!

It happens every year... where one team KILLS a person's chance of advancing.  So far this year, here are those teams...

$70M Theme
mllama54  (41-57 $70M team, 267-223 otherwise)

$80M Theme
bigmc (37-61 $80M team, 265-225 otherwise)

$90 Theme
just4me (32-66 $90M team, 261-229 otherwise)

$100M Theme
odalisgagne (36-62 $100M team, 258-232 otherwise)
markeking (37-61 $100M team, 264-226 otherwise) 

$110M Theme
forte4him (39-59 $110M team, 257-233 otherwise)

$120 Theme
foolishfool (39-59 $120M team, 258-232 otherwise)

I'm surviving on the vague hope that both my 100M and 110M can perform well in the playoffs. But yeah I wish I could construct that 120M team again (and also my 70M which isn't much better)...

the frustrating thing about that 100 mil team is that its playing well below its Pythag and has an obscenely bad record in one-run games.

discodemo is on a pace to set a record for Round 1 performance.  His worst team is going to win 95 games, and he has an outside chance of averaging 100 wins per team.  Hell, I'm having one of my best tournaments ever... over the past few days, I'm hitting about 4 wins per session and have gone from 4 games back to 16 game back. 

Who is this guy?

No kidding - before today I was having a pretty decent run too, and I just kept losing ground. I remember before the tournament you explaining why he had such a high seeding, as if it might have been some kind of mistake on the part of the seeding formula. Doesn't look like much of a mistake now.

My $70 Mil team is going to kill my chances at the cage.

Discodemo has his teams playing impressive baseball, can wait to see how it all plays out!

I should get some bonus points since I'm in 4 leagues with him and 1 with bardin. This is the excuse I am using of why I'm not advancing to the next round. This too could be the reason why he is doing so well.

Here are the projected standings when you factor in playoff teams....
