Finally, sports fans, we reach the end of the regular season and move on to the playoffs!
As expected, Pittsburgh, Seattle, Brooklyn and New York have advanced to the first round of the 2004 playoffs in the Overeducated League! Only Pittsburgh, lowly, downtrodden Pittsburgh, broke the 100 win barrier this season with 103 trips to the W column. Next up was Brooklyn at the Oh-So-Close 99 win mark.
In the race to the bottom we find that this will be next year's draft order:
Cairo
Helena
Stockholm
Sylva
Maryland
Marietta
Winnipeg
Jersey City
Seattle/New York (tied)
Brooklyn
Pittsburgh
I couldn't even suck enough to be useful. Figures.
In terms of seasonal performances we see these leaders:
AVG: NY Boss at .342
HR: MAR Ramer at 39
RBI: SEA Schmeltzer at 123
SB: CAI Aceveda at 50
W: BRK Conn 21
ERA: BRK Conn 2.19
K: SEA Lowry 234
SV: PIT Santos 44
Not bad, gentlemen. Not bad.
The injury front was NOT kind this sim with many players banged up to a greater or lesser degree. The important one, however, is a strained back muscle on the last day of the season to Amador Zaragoza. He's out for the next five weeks and therefore the playoffs. Tough break for the boys from Cloud City! Good luck finding a replacement!
I have simmed the off days after the season and Mack will begin the playoffs on Wednesday night! Let's hope for a good one!

Ugh.
That is all.
Yep, fate is definitely working against you, Matt.
But that makes the eventual trophy all the sweeter, right?
It didn't look like Nate gotg the web pages updated, so I went ahead and did it this morning.
So what's the schedule after Wednesday, guys? Will we be doing a sim each day like last year, or our standard M-W-F schedule?
Also, Nate, in years past we've used the postseason final rankings to determine draft order, not regular season rankings. Has that changed?
We plan to run a sim every work day (M-F).
Also, you're right that the playoff result will determine the draft standings. Champion picks last. Championship loser picks next to last. Division series losers pick in reverse standings order.
