2086 Season Thread - 4 out of 6 dentists recommend Bowie Championship Brand

[TheGobOne]

File is up. This file begins the 2086 season! As per rollover rules, all budgets were adjusted to last year's regular season revenue and all Cash given/taken by your owner was removed.

Sadly, we need to begin with the fact that San Antonio is now open. I don't have anyone of the wait list so if you have a friend who wants to take over a pretty good looking team hit me up on Slack.

I will start working on my Winter Meetings polls pretty soon here. I would suggest the same for anyone else who has any they want to run. Longer the polls are up the better chance everyone sees them. Good luck to all in the upcoming season.

Big Sale going on in Philly. Get 'em while they're hot

I was thinking damn my shortstop had a ridiculous season fielding- he put up a 23 ZR at short, which is good for 5th all time at shortstop how in the world did he not win gold glove????

Walton Burgess had 29 ZR which is the 2nd best ever at shortstop

Best way to get Ted to return is to have this Burgess dude become the GOAT SS over Ted's guy from a while back. Ted won't be happy!

Yeah Sumita had the best at 30.9
