doug and I are tied going into the final game. Someone is going to miss the playoffs with 96 or 97 wins. Both of us would have won 4 of the other 5 divisions, and easily won the WC in the NL.

It's possible for the AL West divsion winner to have the same record as the last place team from your division.

A couple of my teams disappointed, but 4 made the postseason. Better than the predicted 2.5 or 3. My $100M team went into the crapper early, went 30-51 the first half. If they win their final game they would end up at .500, 2nd half the complete opposite...a nice surge but a tad late...perhaps I have a shot at #25 2 years in a row...

Funny, none of my teams finished in the top 10 of their theme (best was 11th, along with 15th, a couple 18ths, a 41st and a 44th. Nonetheless, finished with the 9th best overall winning percentage in this, my first go around in the WISC. Three teams going to the playoffs, which pretty much eliminates me from the overall championship. Still, better than I thought I'd do and certainly better than my pre tourney ranking.

doug and I are tied going into the final game. Someone is going to miss the playoffs with 96 or 97 wins. Both of us would have won 4 of the other 5 divisions, and easily won the WC in the NL.

And it's me. A huge kick in the nuts, especially considering I won the season series against both doug's and rbow's teams. This was my best team and my best shot at a WS if they got in. Hopefully my other 3 playoff teams can surprise.

The icing on the cake was '95 Maddux giving up 10 runs in a must-win game, despite not having given up more than 4 in any of his previous 37 starts.

Somehow managed to get two teams into the playoffs. Won't be enough to move to the second round, but not bad. Learned a lot this go around.

Scores seem a lot higher than last year (or, I guess, more variable).


All the round 2 themes look great; I hope I win the playoff lottery again.

I think you have an error Ozomatli - I have 3.5 playoff teams, not 2.5 playoff teams. ($70M, Variable, Alphabet, $90M in 1 game playoff)
