August 22 Sim Complete!

Sorry, looooong day at work today, so you just get a bullet point style blog entry.

Seattle still has a death grip on the Platonic League title. Pittsburgh has seen an 8.5 game lead shrink to a mere four games in the last two sims, as Maryland is on a tear and has raised its season mark above .500.

In the Platonic League, Brooklyn dropped some games, but is still in first. Jersey City is 2 games back and Helena another 1.5 behind them (3.5 overall). Still far too close to call.

Seattle's Ronald Veit and Jersey City's Joseph Silas were players of the week.

Unnoticed last week, Seattle's George Pullum had a seven-game streak with a home run through August 12. Heck of a run at the plate.

No terribly significant injuries.

Takenao of Brooklyn has raised his average to .410. With just 33 games to go, can he hit .400 for the season?

Helena and Seattle both won in 12 innings on August 20, over Stockholm and New York, respectively, while Jersey City topped Cairo in 11 frames.

Seattle pounded New York 18-3 on August 18. Ouch.

The next sim will feature, on 8/25 and 8/26, the first two of four games head to head between Seattle and Jersey City and between Helena and Pittsburgh. Seattle and Maryland also play two on the 24th and 23rd.

Rosters will expand two sims from now, on September 1. A chance to see the prospects fo the future shine or get some help for the final playoff push.

Next sim will be Friday by Nate. The league file is updated and the web pages are in the process of being posted.

Wait a second...what is this number getting larger in my L column...that is not supposed to happen.

Not only did I lose but I dropped 3 games in this sim all to my dad and Sylva (which btw is the only team with a winning record against me at 9-5).

Why can't it be anyone else????
