I have Joe Sewell available.anyone need a big time outfielder for a ss?
Henke?Crawled back to .500 but then lost again. Level with Norwood and only 3 back in the division now though. Quite frankly it's a miracle I'm winning any games at all considering my closer has a .312 OAV.

Think that's bad? I went on a roll pulling level with TRE for the division lead but now have lost 7 in a row to fall to .500. Still only 5 back so anything can happen I guess.MrPhoenix said:3 game losing streak and losers of 7 of the last 10.The Mets have nothing on me when it comes to late season chokes.

TPC / MPCAl Hrabosky's line vs Sammy today:2.2 IP, 10 hits, 11 runs, 10 earned runs, 2 walks, 1 strikeout, SIX HOMERUNS.Somehow, the sim left him in for 67 pitches despite the fact that he's a Setup A. Ticket sent.

I have Luque as mop up and Ford and Schilling as long guys.

I supposedly have a couple favorable matchups coming up, but even so, I just lost two of three to Bogart's team, which are the doormat of our league even after our series.Unfortunately for me, Mike Norris has about 40 innings left while Three Finger has 60 innings with 24 games to go. Three Finger should be fine, but I might have to take Norris out for a couple turns of the rotation. And I don't trust a soul that's in that cesspool I call a bullpen.Should be fun to see what happens down the stretch. And by fun, I mean agonizing.I've made two subtle moves and now my team is hotter than it has been all season. Bullpens jsut suck in this sim though, guys like Jeff Montgomery who are normally pretty good in these things is horrendous. I should have the wildcard tiebreaker over Doug, I still think Mr P will win the division.

Don't let sweeping me give you a false sense of security. I'm bad, with a ph.Dr Detroit's team just refuses to lose. Meanwhile, I continue to choke away late inning leads because of my garbage bullpen.I still am leading in the wildcard race and my team did sweep Greco's squad, so maybe there's signs of a rebound.
I just got swept by Koya. Any sense of security I once had is now gone.By some fluke, I'm still leading the wildcard race. Fatigue issues are going to come into play soon as I've about maxed out many of my star players PA's. The Koya series was me throwing a lot my scrubs out there.Don't let sweeping me give you a false sense of security. I'm bad, with a ph.Dr Detroit's team just refuses to lose.

Don't worry ... my squad cures all ills. 7-12 in my last 19. Ice-cold pitching.I just got swept by Koya. Any sense of security I once had is now gone.
My only hope is for those fatigue issues to drag you down in your three tough divisional series to end the season. Hypothetically, my squad could make up a lot of ground against Koya and Bogart. But my pitching is underachieving a ton right now.By some fluke, I'm still leading the wildcard race.

good thing, my team hasn't exactly been world beating latelyDon't worry ... my squad cures all ills. 7-12 in my last 19. Ice-cold pitching.

Pretty sure you're got the division now. Making 5 games up with 13 to play is a lot to ask, especially considering your guys have been murdelizing Koya's and Bogart's squads.However, I've still got hope for the wildcard spot if my team can win today's PM2 game. MrPhoenix would then be only one game up with a much tougher stretch run. I have to make up two games in the WC race, though, as MrPhoenix has the HTH tie-breaker.Kraft... said:good thing, my team hasn't exactly been world beating latelyDoug B said:Don't worry ... my squad cures all ills. 7-12 in my last 19.

You have the MUCH easier road, IMO. I have to face Sparty's average team, the buzzsaw that is Dr Detroit's team, then I finish with a fading Avoiding Injuries team that has played me tough all year.You, on the other hand, have Cupcake City up ahead with Koya and Bogart's teams up ahead, but I assume you also have to go through a tough Kraft team, though.However, I've still got hope for the wildcard spot if my team can win today's PM2 game.

Man, my squad wasn't even competitive in our series.It's over now. Your 3 up (really 4 thanks to HTH) in the PL WC race with 12 to play. I basically have to win out to have chance, unless you go 1-11 down the stretch or something.You have the MUCH easier road, IMO.

If fatigue issues don't kill me, I have a shot. But, that's a BIG if.
This is not out of the realm of possibility.I basically have to win out to have chance, unless you go 1-11 down the stretch or something.
I rested my guys when I played Greco and Koya's teams.Resting studs for playoffs.
Sure, kick me while I'm down.I rested my guys when I played Greco and Koya's teams.Resting studs for playoffs.
Not to worry ... my team couldn't do better than split with Koya, and now Kraft's given me another loss. So unless HTH is not the tie-breaker, you have now clinched the WC. GG EIDT: you are also mathematically alive for your division. One back with two to play.And now I'm tied for the wildcard while DrDetroit is 5 up with 6 to go.
I'm ####ed, and there's absolutely nothing I can do about it, it seems. I'm at the mercy of the sim.
I think it is HTH. Thanks for giving me a good run at the end!It's going to take an epic miracle for me to win the division at this point. Since DD beat me HTH this year, I think I need to win the last two and he needs to lose the last two.Not to worry ... my team couldn't do better than split with Koya, and now Kraft's given me another loss.
