Thanks to a schwarze in the pm cycle, I’ve slid back above .500 overall for the moment.

Apropos of nothing, can we make all of Round 2 drafts next season? ??

And a mauch two cycles later to dive back under .500. Boy, I love this game.

And yet another mauch. Sigh.

PS: Combined score 60-13. No game closer than 4 runs.

It's been quiet around here ...

Well, we've entered the final 1/6 of the season, so it's coming down to the wire in the race for the crown. It's feeling like a 3-way race at this point with 2 other teams within a strong playoff surge of threatening. Postseason success will likely determine our winner, and we all know how that doesn't always go according to plan.

I continue to hover in the middle, thanks largely to having one really good team, one really bad team, and three teams around .500 (at this writing they're all 69-68). I remind myself that just being in the top 24 here is a great achievement and having an outside crack at a top 10 finish is nothing to sneeze at. If only I hadn't completely blown the Noah's Ark theme, alas. The 5th 162 was my best overall yet, so it's something to build on. A couple teams are within playoff range, and it might be nice to have more than one get through ...

Good luck to all and congrats on an outstanding year of sim baseball!

A tale of two days. Yesterday, my six teams went 5-13, including 0-6 yesterday evening. In fact, despite the fact that 9 of my 13 active teams are over .500, I went 1-12 overall in the pm2 session... the worst session I can remember.

Today, I woke up to a 6-0 session and only a 5-run ninth inning to blow a game this afternoon prevented me from being 12-0 today.

Huge emotional swings.

And right on queue, we go 1-5 in the pm2 session and overall, my 13 teams go 3-10.

Well damn... A few weeks ago, I had three teams squarely in the playoffs with a couple of others just outside looking in. Since then...

60M: 83-50 is now 86-60 (3-10) with a slim 3 game lead from being out of the playoffs

90M: 63-45 is now 81-65 (18-20) in a 3-way tie for the division lead and wildcard (yep, 3 best teams in the same division)

100M: 61-55 is now 70-76 (9-21) and when from a few games out of a playoff spot to being done

120M: Ironically, this was my worst team all season, but has been hot lately to get to 71-75 (but still has no shot at playoffs)

160M: 69-53 is now 79-67 (10-14), we lost a decent division lead and are now only 3 games from missing the playoffs as a wildcard.

255M: 63-60 went on a 2-10 run before rebounding with an 8-3 run. The 2-10 doomed me though... At 73-73, there is not enough time to make up ground.

We weren't winning this Championship with just 3 playoff teams anyway, but my God, if we end up with 0 or 1 playoff teams... what a choke job.

Closest I've been to the Round 2 discussion all year. I'll take it!

After 11-1 first two sessions of this sixth 162-game split, we've since gone 26-34.
