i am taking Ted Turner, he managed a game in 77. when eephus bans him for being an owner, i will then take Joe Frazier. he epitomizes the late 70s mets as well as anyone. non descript. also, down goes frazier, down goes frazier.....

it's the worst.
In an Internet economy where companies have to scale or die, WIS's continued survival by atrophy is somehow reassuring.

Pretty sure they closed the office. One guy took the servers home with him and went ahead and loaded 2019 players for fun and sent out freesims for all.

No text... pool RE-opened and had an awesome grill session good man.
Also, was in tilt after Weaver was taken.

Rotoworld is running a 1980-2019 league on WIS. The drafters went with a lot of hitters early.
WIS is sort of doing some cross-promotion on Twitter but I've been involved with enough offshoring to suspect their account is being run from overseas.
ETA: apparently they're simming the games but using 5x5 roto scoring instead of sim wins and losses which is kind of interesting

Promo code didn't work for me (first time users only), oh well, my $12.95 will buy 3 hamsters to keep it running another month.

Corona is going to be over the day after the election. One of the Trump boys promised that. So yeah, money is on COVID ending.

Really wanted Davey Johnson. I'll settle for Jim Leyland.
Cool story, a few years ago I went to PNC Park and got really good seats about 20 rows back from home plate for my birthday. Leyland was still a special assistant with the Tigers and sat right behind me. He spent the whole game BS'ing with some Pirates scout and we got to listen in.

Moose Stubing
Moose spent 15 years playing as a minor leagues first baseman. He had the misfortune to spend his best years in the Giants organization trapped behind McCovey and Cepeda. He finally made it to the show in 1967 but his career pinch hitting record is 0-5 with 4 strikeouts.
After retiring as a player in 1969, Moose scouted and managed in the Angels minor league organization before being promoted to major league hitting coach in 1984. After the Anaheims fired manager Cookie Rojas in September 1987, Stubing took over as interim manager for the final eight games of the season. His team went 0-8.
Stubing spent over a half century in the game. He never got a hit as a big league player. He never played the field. He never won a game as a Major League manager.

With Rader, Martin and Zimmer all gone, there is really only one guy left for me to take. Ehhh, who am I kidding, this would have been the guy I would have taken all along.
Bobby Valentine
Doug Rader was the first manager of my childhood, but I always thought he was just some old dude. But Valentine, Valentine was 36 years old young taking the manager job ("still young enough to play!" my Grandpa would say) and actually looked fit and good in his uniform. I would get to the park super early and watch him hit fungo or snag flies with the outfielders. And going to his restaurant after the game for "dugout nachos" was the ultimate in fine dining for 10 YO Bogie.
My team isn't going to hit for any power, so we need that scrappy wit and youthfulness leading the charge.
Plus, how can I go against this awesome stache.

I thought it was anyone who did so during the era (and can adjust the years on the BR page)

No. Anyone from our era drafted. Just can't get all of the managers on one page.

Just realized my teammates are going to have something to talk about:
Last day of the season 1984, Charlie Hough goes 9 innings, giving up 1 run for a complete game loss, because Mike Witt pitches a perfect game, striking out 10. Doug DeCinces scores in the top of the 7th on a Fielder's Choice off the bat of Reggie Jackson. 8.375 faithful Ranger fans saw history that day with a game that lasted 1 hour and 49 mins.
