Sim #2 Complete! Pittsburgh remains on top!

Yes, sports fans, despite their protestations of giving up on the year after Sim #2 Pittsburgh remains on top of the Platonic League! With a 5-3 record they remain one half game up on Seattle, Stockholm, and Sylva! Tight race, there!

In the Socratic League Marietta establishes it's rightful place in the hierarchy by being in first with a 6-4 record and, as with Pittsburgh, is one half game ahead of three teams: Jersey City, Winnipeg, and Brooklyn.

Only one minor injury this sim. Winnipeg's George Hellig is down with a tight shoulder. He'll be day-to-day for about a week.

The tension will build across the league as we wait for the next sim on Friday by Mack. Don't miss it!

If you have not checked out the Brooklyn @ Helena game on the 12th you should. 26 runs scored in the first 9 including 8 in the 8th and 9th innings by Brooklyn to tie it up. The game continues tied at 13 until the bottom of the 15th when Helena's Ben Anguita off the backup C for Brooklyn Shannon Chism who was in his THIRD inning of pitching for some reason that I can't explain. At least Chism pitched 2 innings before giving up the game winning HR.

Have to admit, that's one heck of a game. It's interesting that Helena went to a different starting pitcher to close it out while Brooklyn used a catcher. I wonder why the game did it differently for the two teams.

Of course, I'm just busy basking in the glow of the Pisces' OEL-best record, despite a OEL-low .234 team batting average. I love small sample sizes.

Only because I've played two more games than most everyone, my lawyery friend. I haven't yet had an off day this season.

Whine, whine, whine. Face it, Nate. The Pisces are clearly the best team in the league.

Well, at least until reality slaps the Pisces in the face with the full force of regression-to-the-mean.

The Ministry is just looking forward to actually playing a game on its home turf after 8 straight road games to start the season.
