Rickey needs *ONLY* 4 Topic

For the past 94 seasons, Rickey world rolls with something like 23 openings every season (okay, this is slight hyperbole, it might be more like 81 seasons, I'm not exactly sure). This is despite being consistently ranked in the top 20 of World Rankings - see the thread, click the link, watch what happens. But take my word for it. We're top 20. No super teams. Great parity. Not a whole lot of WC drama over trades, politics, fondue recipes, or the etiquette of right turns on red. Sure, occasionally the oddball owner shows up and we have complications. It happens. But this time... four openings. Jerry Garcia could count that on his right hand. Miles Davis composed a song about it. Alternatively, it's a bad luck number in China. So get us to three. Or two. Or one. Or..... one can only dream. Rickey needs you. Oh... we're also still a private world, so we have private world rules against things like tanking that are kinda sorta spelled out with some detail. Also, we don't like the runner on second rule and have rules against it, too. We're the only one.
