Sim #3 Completed

Sim to April 18 is complete.

In the Platonic League, Maryland continues to run away from the pack with a 10-2 record and is three games clear of the pack. Computer-run Sylva benefits from its off-season spending spree with a 7-5 record and holds the early wild card spot. Apparently, my rebuilding program will include a high pick next year, as the Pisces have staggered to a 3-8 start, worst in the OEL.

In the Socratic League, Helena has first place with a 9-5 record. Marietta leads a closely packed bunch of four teams in second. New York is giving me a run for my money for the top pick, reeling to a 4-10 record to claim last place.

Other notes:

Billy Lowry of Seattle shut out Cairo with a four-hitter on April 14, walking none and whiffing 13. Seattle then came back the next night and wiped out Cairo 16-3. Big meanies.

On April 17, two games went into extra frames. Jersey City topped Brooklyn 5-4 in 10 innings while Sylva topped Seattle 6-5 in 13 innings.

Sylva's Benito Figueredo and Helena's Joseph Watson were named Players of the Week.

Lewis McGurk of Maryland is 3-0 in three starts.

Tory Chavez of Helena is hitting .464.

No significant injuries this sim.

One final note: I had to deal with a couple of players whose 10 days for assignment had expired. I pondered delaying the sim to ask the owners, but instead just did what I thought best for each player. In the future, if you don't want me deciding, take care of it yourself. [Of course, now the Commish will scold me for being high-handed, but I'm tired of this problem. So there.]

The league file is updated and web pages are en route. Next sim will be Wednesday by Nate.

Absolutely no scolding necessary.

The simple rule here is THE SIM HAPPENS. Do something that could delay the sim and you place yourself in our tender, merciful hands.

God help the guilty.

Sorry, one of them was me. Jetlag caught up with me and I forgot to take care of stuff in both leagues....
No problem with what was done.

The Poedamnedmonium is ready for the soul crushing dispair that is to come. We know rabid weasels will eat our outfield.

The thought warms us.
