Sim #24 - The Laptop Strikes Back

Having worked on my fan for a bit I have confidence that I can complete a sim without a crash. In fact, I have!

Headline: Distance Acheived!

The name of the game is distance, my friends! Both leaders extended their margins this sim. Pittsburgh to four games and Brooklyn to five! Even Helena spread it out a bit with space in the wildcard stretched to 3.5 games!

On the injury front we had several, sad to say...

Maryland's James Sexton was injured while pitching. Day to day for seven weeks!
Marietta's Christian Diaz pulled a tricep. He's day to day for three weeks!
Cairo lost John Arant for 1-2 weeks with a stiff shoulder.
Winnipeg lost Jerry Brasher for for six weeks with a broken foot!

Hard times.

Next sim is by Mack. I'll allow him to inform you of the schedule.

It's interesting that the two wildcard teams have better pythagorean records than the division leaders. That's probably happened in this league before, but I can't say that I've ever noticed it until now.

I'm planning to run the next sim tomorrow (Wednesday) evening, unless someone emails me and gives me a sound reason (as determined in my sole discretion) why that won't work.

Lent,

How was your trip to Brooklyn where you got swept by the Bombers...don't think you can come into my house and win :)

Can't believe you re-signed Pastrami, Jeremey. Guess if you don't care about turning a profit this game is easier. Course, that sort of thing also makes you poster-child for why the economy is now in the toilet.

If there was a way to set team strategies higher for "beanballs" I'd do that next time we play.

Spoken like a true second place team...you can set your setting to "Beanball"...I'll set mine to "Beanbrawl" and we will have bench clearing fight on our hands
