I'll run the lootery, and coin flip to decide draft order for rounds 3-6 for Oakland and San Diego, sometime in the next few weeks. Perhaps we could do it while watching a Twins playoff game together.
September 11:
I played 2 more weeks of games this morning. It's all over except for the fight for ping pong balls. With only 6 games to go, Chicago and Boston have easily clinched their divisions. Congratulations, especially to Chicago for their first pennant win.
I'll play the last 6 games of the season the week of September 17. Please have any lineup changes to me by midnight on September 16.
August 28:
I played 2 more weeks of games, and not a whole lot has changed. Boston leads Minnesota by 14, and Chicago leads San Diego by 16.
I will play the next set of games the week of September 11. Please have your franchise files to me by midnight on September 10.
August 18:
We have now played all games through August 27. Boston leads Texas and Minnesota in the East by 18, Chicago leads San Diego in the West by 13. With no real pennant races remaining, it looks more and more like a chase for ping pong balls. But who knows, maybe San Diego, Texas, or Minnesota will get incredibly hot.
I will play the next set of games the week of August 27. Please have lineup changes to me by midnight on August 26.
August 11:
Boston leads the East by 15 games, Chicago leads the West by 12 games. I will play the next set of games next week. Please send in franchise files by Tuesday night, August 15, at midnight. Quite a few teams were playing with tired and injured players. Please check your team and make appropriate changes.
