Most disappointing season in ages for NE. “Short” lived time in NE

Definitely thought you were going to be competitors this year. It must hurt looking up in the standings and seeing AJ pissing all over the division right now after finishing last or next to last a year ago

- Final sim of the season tomorrow! If we can we may run the 1st rd later tomorrow as well. Please be prepared if you are a playoff team. Because it's during the week it's likely playoffs will go slower than normal.

- We have pretty tight Wild Card races in both leagues so there may be tiebreakers tomorrow as well.

- Playoffs are livestreamed on our Twitch channel. More info will be posted on Slack once we reach playoffs.

We got hot but it may be too late.

The fate of our playoff hopes is 7 home games against SHL/NE.

Truly a #bEast like scenario.

[ajalves]

wondering if PO can hold on

[GeorgesGoons]

wondering if PO can hold on

8-2 against Sheltown
4-7 against Miami
43-31 at home
both teams are under .500 on the road


75% chance you hold on

Crazy that no one in the entire league felt they could use dudes like Michael Jordan or Ignacio Gonzalez on their squads.

If I only had money!

I was very close to hitting you up about MJ just because i wanted a guy named Michael Jordan

[cougnix]

Pythag got Shelby. Bastard...

Very unlikely scenario we catch Baltimore, but only the sim will tell.

I tried to sell all year long!

“Trading/immersion at an all time low!!”

100% agree! I'm sure we'll be sellers in 2 or 3 years. Will have some great names out there with Watkins, Booth, Fernandez. Pretty sure I'll keep Fernandez though as he has an outside chance at 4000 hits, if he can average 200 hits for the next 15 years he'll have the all time hits record. He has 1385 hits in 6 full seasons plus 24 games in his call-up at 19 years old.

I am as immersed as ever. When your team has a playoff chance its hard to show your immersion as you don't want to tempt fate
