Thrice daily, I await the six boxscore
Cursing and wailing as the closer gives up four
I’d win a league
’cept for effin’ pitcher fatigue
The only enjoyment is beating jtpsops some more

(a limerick, for jtpsops)

There once was a thing called a schwarze,
Though I never get one, of course.
I'll lose three or four
Or maybe some more
'Cuz the code's rigged against me at source

A 70s Sim Lament

Pete Roses are dread
Same with Vida Blue
Nolan Ryan should be good
But he’s no Darvish, Yu

Natural born poets!

Love it.

My second 0-6 in the last 5 sessions.

I'm unfortunately going to have to put myself on fraud watch until further notice

Mr. Keating would be so proud of you guys

O Captain my Captain!

Just saw these. Excellent job!

Game 44: My first schwarze of the tournament pushes me 4 games over .500 overall. And it included four 1-run wins! It's a Father's Day present. May the trend continue.

There seems to be a lot of bitchin'
Despite many doing lineup switchin'
One of my teams is the worst
But for WISC, this is my first.
The main thing I fail to see....
Is why all the hate when
65 owners are in front of me...

A haiku that sums up my WISC experience:

Never had a Mauch
Neither have I earned a Schwarze
Mediocrity

After 50 games my teams are hanging in there against tough competition. Not doing great, but not awful either.

The only team I'm perplexed by is my $100m team, which I really expected to do better. Great pitching and fielding (league-leading WHIP, 52 + plays on defense) but we're by far the weakest offense, "led" by Jim Bottomley and his .160 batting average. Maybe his name should have scared me off.

There once was a man named Jim Bottomley
Whose bat was as cold as the autumn sea
When he swung at the ball
He would miss almost all
And walked off the field quite forgottenly

Just got my first Schwarze of the season, but it followed consecutive 1-5 cycles, so I’d say mediocrity still reigns.
