OFFICIAL WIS XIX DRAFT THREAD - The War Years (1 Viewer)

[RnR]

Let's bring this thread back on track... we desperately need an update from Bogart on dating the married chick.

Didn't see that one coming...

Yeah. Great two dates. Then she comes out and says she's getting divorced and needs space. Then says she's not getting divorced and can we do something. Then goes quiet and won't answer my texts. Has changed her profile that she is looking for men that are already in Poly relationships.

So now I'm back to Offdee 5 FWBs who don't mind you calling them up at midnight to come over and stick it in their butt.

 

[Eephus]

If Jose Altuve leads AL in BA, hits and SB, he'd be 2nd since 1945 to do it. Ichiro in 2001, Snuffy Stirnweiss in 1945 (Source: Elias)

 

[Koya]

No idea what to make of this team at this point.

Hit 12-14 games above 500 twice and am now a game under. Weird.

Yet you still will win division. Ours has been over since the first week of the season. <_<

No WC sucks.

No WC sucks.

Right now, the teams with the 2nd and 4th best overall records will be left out of the playoffs.

AL West is a 3 way Dogfight (sorry Greco)

Pretty sure we said "never again" when we had to do the 4-team playoff in a previous sim. There was good reason.

 

[Chemical X]

i actually have a respectable team for once and no wildcard"........

 

[Brady Marino]

Meanwhile, my forlorn team of hacks that I've mostly ignored up to this point is only 6 games back of "The Chump" despite being 13 games under .500.

Gil Hodges with 8 HRs and 100 RBI. He hit 31 in RL.

 

[RnR]

Have we ever had someone hit .400 in one of these things? Cobb appears close the doing this for Pumpernickle.

... and, my squad promptly wet the bed after this post Two-team race now.

 

[Hoos First]

My SP's are 37-57. Oof.

To provide some historical context, you don't get the moniker (self proclaimed as it may be) Champ because of one past season.

As I see it, Champ still has a shot at WS 6 and Trophy #5.

I'll hang up and listen.

Pump is due. Should have at least one more trophy. At least.

I blame the hemorroids.

Topsy Hartsel is getting screwed out of MVP voting.

934 OPS (2nd)

99 RBI (5th)

90 R (11th)

337 AVG (4th)

516 SLG (4th)

28 SB (3rd)

Slumping big time the last couple weeks, division chances fading <_<

 

[Koya]

rosecco:

Harldy deserves champagne, but we clinched.

Now that I've slow played the regular season to a tee, time to turn it one for the road to three!

 

[Chemical X]

1-6 already. not worth bothering live.

have gone 92-59 since this point and with 4 left to play, am up 1 on pumperass. i am going to skip hippo vaughn and let walter johnson and bob lemon pitch the last 4.

Congrats moops, total gag job down the stretch by my squad. Represent!(and don't be afraid to sweep the champs leg)

thanks dude.

i plan on taking the champ down hard

 

[Doug B]

Congrats moops ... Represent!(and don't be afraid to sweep the champs leg)

Jebus, our division was stout. Koya's AL East champs might've finished last running the AL West gauntlet with us.

...

If I can take one of my final two games against moops, four 90-win teams will miss the playoffs in this rendition.

Well, I was trying to keep things close for the fun of it. When you are the Champ, that's one of the benefits.

Seriously, never again. It's embarrassing, but I'll take it. On the other hand, I've never had such a good first half and poor second half. As if everyone stopped hitting at once.

That said, Champ has some tricks up his sleeve as drafting is to try sand get to the playoffs, but be able to win once there.

If I can win against Pete Alexander that is.

It's ok. My team had a poor first half and a downright miserable second half.

I think I hate this team more than I've hated any other team I've done in this thing.

 

[Doug B]

I've never had such a good first half and poor second half. As if everyone stopped hitting at once.

I had the opposite experience with my squad. After starting something like 12-4, my squad tanked hard for about 60 games. Didn't get back to .500 until around the All-Star Break.

Letting Robin Roberts get down to 2-10 after 15 starts or so was terrible management on my part. Should pulled the plug earlier. My squad was one more solid starting pitcher away from threatening 100 wins.

...

Feel bad for pump ... his squad led the NL East for about 140 straight games, only to fade over the last week. ChemX and Sparty's squads have both gone nuts over the second half.

 

[Chemical X]

i can't believe i actually have a chance here. i made some tweaks along the way. big gets for me were bob lemon, who has arguably been my best pitcher and bill voiselle's 33 innings. i kept voiselle benched until after the AS break, then made him the closer. it lengthened my pen, which is pretty decent. my starters usually go 7-8 and keeping only a couple of good relievers pitching and avoiding those long/weak guys. i began to sit walt dropo and moved ival goodman in against RHP.

Congrats. To me you should just be crowned champ now because our division had all the best teams.

i was worried about your team, i can't seem to do better than 1 out of 3 during our series'.

i need to play road games, for some reason i don't like my home park much.

 

[Hoos First]

My team has 220 errors

 

[the moops]

koya - wanna play our series live?

 

[Chemical X]

unchartered territory for me. i reset my rotation to go johnson, vaughn, lemon, though lemon is my 2nd best pitcher, maybe even on par with johnson. i am thinking that with a 3 man rotation, only the 1 goes 3 times (1-4-7). so, i would rather have lemon pitch games 3 & 6, with vaughn going 2 & 5. with the visiting crowd being rowdy, i like lemon's steady nerves for that game 3 on the road. he brings a veteran presence.

 

[the moops]

if my series goes 7, I am hoping pete alexander can go in games 1,3,5, and 7.

 

[RnR]

Yeah, you guys were right... there was no advantage to having one of the top tier SPs in this thing.

 

[Koya]

If you are around later tonight I may be able to. Would be fun - a throwback series.

When we get together at the Gold Jacket Champions Ceremony each season, we look at you like like the greats looked at Ty Cobb walking into Cooperstown.
