In the first post of this thread I will update the division standings.
I will also include an excel spreadsheet where you can look up any specific statistical information.
There are 3 Tabs.
Schedule: You will see the 18 week schedule. I will record the scores of each game in this section. To the right of the page you will notice the standings (same as what will be posted).
Stats: You will notice 3 sections here. The first section will include the YTD stats by team, as well as the team totals.
The next section you will see the stats for the most recent completed week.
All the way to the right, you will see the YTD stats for all the players in a sortable format. You can click on the sort button for each column to sort for you.
Playoffs: Simply has the playoff/seeding definitions and rules. More will be added here once we get that far.
I will try to update the first post in this thread and the spreadsheet on a weekly basis. After each series I will include a brief write-up on each series in this thread.
When you are done drafting.... Please post your lineup and position in this thread along with your team colors. All switch hitters will bat lefty. Only let me know if you would like your guy to bat as a righty.
You can follow this example:
Larry Walker-OF
Rickey Henderson-OF
Ken Griffey Jr-OF
Mike Piazza-C
Todd Helton-DH
Mo Vaughn-1B
Joe Morgan-2B
Mel Ott-3B
Travis Fryman-SS
Bat/Jersey = Green/Yellow
Seems pretty stupid to play Vaughn at first while Helton DHs
Stock, since you will be batting, are you going to do things like steal where appropriate, and do the Pettis for fast guys with no power?
I believe based on his last league that he tries to hit a HR every AB and he does not steal bases.
Well that changes things.

I think he said no stealing but he will attempt to use a certain type of hitting strategy if you wish. I will be requesting he employ the Pettis for Tony Womack.
This was Stock's reply to me in a PM:
This is a difficult question.
I won't ALWAYS do this, but if it is a very fast guy with crappy power, I will most likely try to slap a hit opposite field to get on base when the bases are empty. However, with a slow runner on 1st, it won't make sense as they could get the lead runner at 2nd, and I would be better off pulling the ball to advance the runner.
If you have a specific strategy in mind, let me know, and I will try to honor it. The only thing I will not do is bunt.

Thanks Shooty.
You summed up well.
If someone has a specific hitting strategy they would like me to use with one of thier batters, I will try to honor those wishes.
For example, "Any time bases are empty, please try to get on base with Tony Womack via "the Pettis".
Stock, the strategy I wish you to employ with my team is: hit a HR with every batter. Thanks.

Interesting strategy to have a lefty pitcher Nomaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. You sure you don't want to re-think that?
in my playing, i always thought it was harder to hit a righty as a lefty, and vice versa.
most players seem to be righty batters, and the big hitters like ruth, bonds, etc. i don't think it matters what hand they pitch with.
am i wrong? i'd honestly like to know.
If the pitcher is righty it is equally easy for a righty batter or a lefty batter.
If the pitcher is lefty it is much easier for a righty and a little more difficult for a lefty but only if the pitcher stays on away on the hitter. But this isn't straight pitch so I guess it really doesn't matter. I would guess most teams will have righty pitchers. No crime in being different. Who knows perhaps it will benefit you.
thanks. i'll give it a try though.
if i see a noticable difference in my ra, then ill change, prob.
I believe its really slow pitching anyway, so unless Stock sucks I doubt it will matter if you have a southpaw.

What did Wagner do to piss you off.
That's quite a demotion.
I figure it is better to go with power at the top of the lineup, and speed at the bottom. I figure if Wagner pulls a lot of grounders, he can get a lot of IF hits. With him on first, pull with Collins (though Pettis if noone is on), and Wagner can probably score from first if it is hit in a gap or down the line. I expect a lot of triples from Collins.
Stock....have you ever played a game with guys that have 155+ speed? Is everything hit on the ground (not to the pitcher) more or less an automatic single at the very least? I went with the strategy of drafting a couple of guys with 155 speed but absolutely shitty power under the theory that they will never hit it hard enough to get it thrown out. Hopefully this works or I just wasted 2 picks.

ZING!!!
Well, we will find out soon enough.
Attezz will either win it all or finish at the bottom of the barrel.
I have a custom cart made where both Ichiro and Rickey have a speed rating of 160.
They are pretty damn fast. It is still possible to throw them out even on a grounder hit to the left side of the field, but pretty tough. Am guessing the computer will have a tougher time.
I would say that any ground ball not hit very hard to the left side should be a hit.
However, there is no way (that I know of) to try to hit a ground ball, so I am guessing there will still be a lot of popups and week line drives that are caught.

Once I have fknmclane's line-up, I will post an excel spreadsheet so everyone can double check I entered the numbers correctly in the editor.
This will be an easy way to pick the best teams. They will be grouped by 4-team divisions too.

Please open the excel spreadsheet and verify that I put in your team's RBI stats correctly.
Especially, make sure that I have your "hand" correct.
If the stats are correct, I am going to go with Division winners:
Ultimate (above average power; average speed)
Fighton (has the most power in a weak division. No wild card comes from this division)
Beefmaster (Maybe the best team overall. Best power/contact combo. Not the worst speed.)
Weathermatt (Highest in terms of average raw power)
Wild Cards:
Rack (The Foxx trade will squeak him into the playoffs. Good balance of power/speed)
Gantry (Most consistent team. Average or better in Power, Speed, & Contact)
McLane also has a decent team considering all the first basemen he has.
You're forgetting the pscyhological edge by naming my team StockW19 and having Robin Yount!

I hate you.
My stats all look good.
My team is going to dominate.
Fun fact - my team average contact is 42.22, and the worst in real RBI is Rafael Santana, with 38. I out-contact the next-worst team by almost 8 points (36.44, Mclane).
Division predictions and half-assed commentary:
Ruth
Ultimate
Mclane
Nomaaa
Attezz
I think Attezz, unless he knows something we don't, took way too much speed at the expense of power which dooms him to last place. Ultimate has a sickeningly balanced lineup with a bit of speed thrown in as well, and wins the division going away. Mclane edges Nomaaa by having more middle to high-end power.
Bonds
Rack
Beef (wild-card)
Ryno
Stock
First place here was basically a coin flip, as Rack and Beef have very similar teams in terms of overall power, but I think they're close enough that Rack's speed and contact advantages, especially at the bottom of the order, win out. Stock looks like he set up his lineup somewhat odd, and had to dig deep at the end to find position-eligible players, so I think Ryno nips him for third.
ARod
Gantry
WMatt (wild-card)
Nacho
Shooty
As much as I like the power and how I was able to find decent middle-infield guys at the end, the huuuge contact penalty will hurt enough to keep me out of first. Except for having to take Deshields, Gantry put together a solid lineup throughout. Nacho's got an excellent mix of speed and power, and probably has the best third-place team (though maybe not by record). Despite taking two 155 speed guys, Shooty's team average really isn't all that high, and he doesn't have the power to back it up.
Pujols
GDavis
USC
Big Hath
AlexT
Take out each team's worst player, and GDavis has the best overall lineup. That's the difference in an otherwise weak division. Fighton's excellent contact pulls him above Big Hath for second. If speed really does have an edge over power, Alec drafted the best to utilize it, completely outrunning this division while still being able to hold up in power. I still see him last, but don't be surprised if he steals this division.

You do realize that batting average is meaningless? My team is awesome. One of a handful of teams with 3 guys with 900+ power, 2 speed demons that will get on everytime assuming they don't pop up.
Side bet of $20 on who had a better record?

I meant average speed there, not batting average.
And I think Womack and Taveras both have too little power to make use of their speed outside of infield hits. Not everything they hit will be ground balls.
Side bet - sure. Overall or head-to-head?
And finally, if we learned anything from Stock's last league, it's that pretty much all the predictions were off by quite a bit (even Stock's own detailed analysis). 90% of the time, these games are going to come down to who can 10-run the other team first, which will not always be the team with the most power.
Overall. $20.
I purposely went with low power/high speed for my middle infield as I play alot of games against the computer and its much easier to get hits with pitchers than guys with high 700's power against the computer. And add the speed component, there will be plenty of infield singles and inside the park homers.

I don't want to know of any side bets.
Anyway, you aren't kidding about last year. I was (for the most part) way off on my pre-season analysis and there was a ton of parity in the league despite team stats looking very different.
Gantry didn't do too hot with his poopybutts last year (with only a .500 winning percentage, but ended up schooling everyone in the playoffs and winning the whole thing).
However, this year there are more teams, and fewer making it to the play-offs. This season will not be like the NBA (ie.. no slacking during the regular season).

If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to switch Dawson and Rice.
No big deal if it can't be done.
My team looks right.
I don't know who is going to win, but I will say that it certainly looks like the Bonds division (Beef, Stock, Ryno and my team) are in the toughest division.
Div. 4 will come down to Gantry and Matt. I think Gantry's all lefty lineup will prevail.
I can comment on Attez's (speed) team. I agree that I think he'll come in last place in his division. I know you can try to Pettis with every player but pop ups will happen a lot. And what happens if a player is on base? Force outs will happen, especially when Stock isn't going to hit and run. It will be fun to find out, but I think it will take Attez's team too long to score runs and will be at the 10 run mercy rule far too often.
Div. 1 winner= McLane
Div.2 winner= GDavis
Div.3 winner= Beef/Rack/Stock (too tough to call)
Div.4 winner= Gantry
I took those speed guys near the end, but the lack of stealing or hit + run will probably screw me over. Stock, please at least be aggressive on the base paths, stretch out those hits...
Oh, and posting to confirm

my team looks ok
I predict that all teams have fun.
And I'm still in first place in the Ruth division,
And does anyone have any idea what the record below Zorba's aviator means?
i like how the banana democracy looks.
if you factor in that i could have taken somone with 850 instead of 750 power (crawford), i think i would come out a lot higher or the rankings, so i'm not really worried about that.
attez, i have wondered that for a long ass time.
edit: now that i look at it, i would be ranked 2nd in power if i took an 850 guy instead of one 750. if it turns out that carl crawford fucks my team, then so be it.
Team looks good.
Team looks good
Sid Bream looks good
My team looks prepared to choke in the playoffs, per standard Fantasy RBI protocol.
Ultimate's team looks like the best to me - no 900-power behemoths, but no dead weight in the lineup, either. Attezz's team would be the most fun to use, though.
Stock, Wagner's stats are way off in my lineup.
After those changes are made, I have the 2nd fastest team (after Attez), and the 2nd least power (and 2nd least power-contact, despite having excellent contact).
Awesome... I think we are just about ready to go.
I may start as early as tonite if I don't hear of any mistakes to someone's line-up.
Shooty, Gantry & Nacho have requested that I "pettis" every time 1st base is open with Womack/Deshields/Collins.
Anyone else??
Attezz?
Nacho, I fixed Wagner's stats. I screwed up an inserted Leon Wagners stats incorrectly.
You should be set now (righty, .327, 6HR, 14CNT, 711PWR, & 155 Speed.)

Shooty, Gantry & Nacho have requested that I "pettis" every time 1st base is open with Womack/Deshields/Collins.
Out of curiosity, does anyone know the approximate speed threshold at which it no longer becomes a good idea to pettis?
I've gone back and forth on this, but if first base is open, please Pettis with everyone but Konerko, Ruth, and Yount

Really? Collins is a 148. Maybe I should just have Stock swing freely.

Awesome... I think we are just about ready to go.
I may start as early as tonite if I don't hear of any mistakes to someone's line-up.
Starting an RBI Tourney on the evening of Valentine's Day. Nice!
stock, if first is open, i'd like crawford to pettis. if not, a lefty hit would be in order.
grazie.
Ichiro and Rollins should definately Pettis-phile, and I guess Robinson should too because he won't be good for much else... I guess give a preference to it for Robinson but I don't expect him to do much so whatever.
Also, will the updated rom be posted at some point?
It's going to have to be a set of ROMs (4, maybe?), with this many teams.

I was just kidding, it's been my experience that a good Pettis works as long as the speed is about 138, 155 and above should outleg anything hit to the left of the second baseman, regardless of who fields it (maybe not the pitcher)
Then a pettis with Collins it is, unless first is occupied.
Seeing as Pettis' speed was... what, 140? And tops in the game was 148, I doubt Collins will have much of a problem.
i can't wait to see how attez's team does.
i think he'll surprise a lot of people, and not finish in the bottom of the barrel.
how does the playoff system work? division winners and two wild card winners?

Picture exactly the same NFC Playoff structure in football.
4 division winners and 2 wild cards.
Top 2 division winners get first round byes.
All playoff games will be best of 3 series with the better seed getting homefield in all games.
Championship will be best of 5 (alternating home/visiting fields). Home field advantage in game 5 to the better seed.
As far as the ROM... I have several ROMs so I can match all the teams together.
Let me know if you want a ROM with your team, and I can post it.
cool.
can i get a rom with my team and possibly all the other Ruth division?
for me, I guess use the Pettis with Furcal if no one is on 1st
just use your best judgment on how to get him on base anyway possible - he's got some pop, so don't be afraid to swing away with him if you're in a groove
But since it's Furcal, make sure you set to bunt on the first pitch of every at bat, while walking out of the batter's box while the pitcher goes into his delivery.
Then get the bat head out and rip one down the line and go runnin'
swing away. there are no weak links in the 80s lineup.

Here are 2 roms where the divisions are kept together.
Don't get picky about the team names and uniforms. You can change those yourself in the editor if you see fit.
For my purposes, I only need the lineups and all the hitting stats correct.
I just simmed a watch game, and Robinson pinch hit for bench.

I know. However, I still demand it.
Stock=Bonny?
Will we be able to watch these games like in the last fantasy season?
no
I have started playing the games and am more than half done with week 1.
I will post the results and series summaries at the end of every week.
Team looks good, please change my team name to Brandis Loaves.
so who's gonna finish second (behind me)?
Week 1:
Attezz vs McClane
Attezz started game 1 just as someone with his draft stretegy probably saw it in his head. Cobb/Coleman started off with back-to-back triples and then Ruth/Konerko with back-to-back home runs. They put up 6 runs in the 1st inning. Unfortunately, McClane's power rich offense was too much and Mantle (with a grand slam) lead the way to a 16 run first inning and the slaughter.
Game 2 Attezz had some problems putting multiple hits together, and with not much power after 3-4 only scored 11 runs in 5 innings. Mantle and Palmer both had grand slams in the game and ended it in the 5th.
Game 3 Attezz was able to put up 26 runs and take it to the 9th inning. However, McClanes slumping power rich offense finally came alive and put Attezz away 30-26 with a Tettleton walk-off grand slam completing the sweep.
I was pretty fun playing with Atezz's team, and with all that speed they can definitely scrap. However, with only 2 real power threats in the line-up, they will have problems scoring enough runs.
Series MVP goes to Mantle going 10-14 with 3 HRs (2 GS), a triple, and 14 RBIs.
Series LVP goes to Samuel. Although batting .500, couldn't do anything with men on base and was the only guy without an RBI in the series.
Don't Blame... Vince Coleman who went 8-12 with 5 triples in the series loss.
Nomaa vs Ultimate
Game 1, both teams had trouble getting their offenses going early, but Strawberry and Stargel eventually led Ultimate to victory adding 6 home runs.
Game 2, Nomaaa showed that his team could slug with Ultimate's power rich team. Beltran was a key player in the 9-hole adding 3 homers (incl a grand slam), and leading Nomaaa to close 9th inning victory.
Game 3, Ultimate went right back to the slugfest, and Nomaaa could never really catch up. He was able to hang in their on the ropes until finally the 5th inning where Ultimate put him away.
Ultimate really has a good team. Every player in his lineup has 838 or higher power and can hit a home run. In fact every player had at least 2 home runs in the series.
Nomaa has a decent team, but the line up may need some work (IMO). I might think about swapping Crawford and Beltran, as Carlos just seems like too good of a hitter to keep so deep in the line-up.
Series MVP goes to McCovey, batting over .800 with 7 HRs and 17 RBIs.
LVP goes to Crawford. Although he played much better in games 2 & 3, he went 0-7 in game 1.
Don't Blame.... Manny Ramirez who batted over 700 with 4 HRs and 17 RBIs in the series loss.
Fighton vs GDavis
Game1, Not much to say other than Fighton scored 24 runs in 3 innings. Kent/O'Doul/Wilson with 2 HRs each.
Game 2, pretty much the opposite of game 1. Gdavis ends it after putting up 11 runs in the first inning. Fielder and Horner with home runs.
Game 3, Finally a good game. This was back and forth to the very end. Going into the top of the 9th Gdavis had a 28-29 lead. Then Fighton put up a 12-spot, and had an 11 run lead into the bottom of the 9th. Gdavis responded with a 14 spot and ended it with a Posada 3-run blast.
Both teams are very good, and can get hot at any moment. I thought it was a risk batting Aaron in the lead-off spot considering he is gauranteed 1 AB every game with nobody on base. However, it worked out well as he was still able to drive in 11 RBIs in the series.
Series MVP goes to Hank Aaron, batting over 900 with 4 HRs and 11 RBIs
LVP goes to Nomar Garciaparra. Only on of Fighton's guys batting below 500 for the series; not what you want from your #2 batter.
Don't Blame... Lefty O'Doul. He tore things up in the series loss batting .917 with 4 HRs and 12 RBIs.
AlecTrevylan vs Big Hath
Game 1, Alec could not get it going fast enough to put up with Big Hath's offense. Bonds & Burkman went 10-10 with 4 HRs at the top of the order to lead in this 4 inning slaughter.
Game 2, Alec had trouble scoring runs again, and by the 6th inning (after BobbyBo, Thome & Killebrew added 3 HRs each) 26 runs was enough for Big Hath to end it.
Game 3; An 0-for 1st inning for Alec and 10 runs were all Big Hath needed to end this one early. Thome ended it with an exclamation point with a walkoff Grand Slam in this no-hit victory.
The 1-6 spot is just a wrecking crew for Big Hath's team. As long as the bottom of the order doesn't completely roll over and die, Big Hath is going to score a lot of runs this year. In AlecTrevylan's defense, it is tough to not get swept by a team that bats .718 for an entire 3-game series.
Series MVP goes to Berkman going 12-13 in the series, although BoBonds, Thome, & Killebrew combined for 15 HRs and 38 RBIs.
LVP goes to Rollins; batting only .300 in the series. Not like the meat of Alec's order did a whole lot, but they need the #2 batter to get on base to drive in some runs.
Don't blame...Ordonez who went 6-7 with 2 HRs in the series loss. Just nobody to drive in.
Beefmaster vs Rack
Game 1 Rack was able to come back from a huge deficit and still mangage to slaughter Beefmaster. Rack was down 21-1 going into the bottom of the 3rd where he put up 15 runs. Rack was in position to get run-ruled again going into the bottom of the 6, and he put up 15 runs again. 1 inning later, Rack puts up 6 more runs and ends it with a Bagwell walk-off HR. Rack's big acquisition (Foxx) from Ryno's team did not disapoint, hitting 4 home runs.
Game 2, was a lot closer early on than game 1. However, Beefmaster putting up doughnuts in the 3rd & 4th innings let Rack pull out ahead enough to finally end it with (yet another) Bagwell walk-off in the bottom of the 6th.
Game 3, Beefmaster avoids the sweep by eeking out a 9 inning slugfest by 1 run. Bonds went 8-9 w/ 4 HRs and a triple. Zernial went 9-9 with two HRs. Kiner had the chance to win it in the bottom of the 9th, down by a run w/ runners on 2nd & 3rd. Grounded out weakly to the shortstop.
Series MVP goes to Klein. Although Jeter had 8 HRs and 14 RBIs leading off, Klein batted .850 in the series and set up the bottom of the order for big RBI games.
LVP honors go to Allen. Although, nobody had a god-aweful series, you really need more than a .474 BAV from your #2 batter.
Don't blame... Zernial. Batted .944 with 3 HRs in the series loss.
Ryno vs Stock
Game 1, Ryno can only muster 2 runs on a Palmiero double and Schmidt HR. Stock puts up 12 in the bottom half lead by 3-run HRs by Piazza & Walker.
Game 2 was much better. Ryno hit 17 HRs in total. Will Clark had a grand slam, and Rice went 9-9. Stock hit 14 HRs. Henderson had a grand slam, and Piazza went 9-9. Travis Fryman only went 3-9 batting last in the lineup, but had the walk-off 3-run HR to end the game.
Game 3 was an absolute slugfest, much like game 2. The lead switched several times. Sandberg went 9-10 with 5 HRs, and Dawson 10-10 with 5 HRs for Ryno. Although, Stock was able to stick in the game for 9 innings, it wasn't enough to fend off the run scoring machine Ryno put together.
Series MVP goes to Mel Ott. Although he only had 1 HR in the series, he went 15-17 with 13 RBIs.
LVP honors go to Gary Carter. Although he batted .500 in the series, he was the only player on either team w/o a HR and only had 4 RBIs.
Don't Blame... Dawson for the series loss. He went 19-20, w/ 7 HR and 20 RBIs. He slugged 2.000 in the series.
Nacho vs Gantry
Game 1, Gantry's 3 run first inning was not enough to counter Nacho's 13 run 1st led by 2 HRs each by Arod and Vlad.
Game 2 was quite the opposite as Nacho's offense ran relatively cold and only put up 6 runs in 3 innings. Giambi added the 16th run with a solo shot in the bottom of the 3rd.
Game 3 proved that both teams could go the distance. After putting up 0 runs in the 1st inning Nacho looked like he was going to blow it open in the 2nd. With 4 runs already and the bases loaded, Vlad grounds into a 5-2-3 inning ending double play. Vlad had a pathetic game going only 1-9. Dunn and Giambi were on fire for Gantry's Poopybutts hitting a combined 9 HRs. However, the rest of Nacho's team stayed consistent and pulled it off in the end as Gantry's offense ran out of fuel in the later innings. Nacho's Andruw Jones added a grand slam, and Arod had 3 HRs.
Series MVP goes to AROD; 10-13, 5 HRs & 14 RBIs.
LVP goes to Eddie Mathews. Your cleanup guy cannot bat .417 with only 4 RBIs in a series.
Don't blame.... Giambi. He went 9-12 and slugged 2.500 in the series (7 HRs). Also, you cannot blame York and Desheilds. The 8-9 batters went 16-19. You cannot ask for more than that out of the bottom 2 guys in the lineup.
Weathermatt vs Shooty
Game 1; Took both teams a few inning to get going. Weathermatt's Gonzalez and Deer combined for 10-10, 5HRs (a Deer GS), and 13 RBIs in 5 innings. However, Mac and Kingman in the meat of the order could only drive in 2 total runs in 10 ABs. Shooty's team stayed consistent while 5-7 batters (Sexson, MWilliams, & Justice) went a combined 17-18. Parish ended up being the hero in the last inning with 2 3-run HRs including the walkoff.
Game 2, Weathermatt came back strong, led by Valentin (the #9 batter) going 4-4 with 3 HRs. Shooty had a tough time ever getting his team going. 0-4 from Womack in the leadoff spot didn't help. Sosa was 3-3, but with nobody on base singles are not going to drive in any runs.
Game 3; Both teams started pretty flat. Weathermatt's 1-6 batters went 4-12 with only 1 RBI the first 2 times thru the order. Shooty's 1-5 batters went 2-10 with 1 RBI the first 2 times thru. Batista really came thru for Weathermatt going 4-4 w/ 2 HRs, and 5 RBIs. Sanders also came thru in the clutch when the bottom of the order was able to get on base going 3-4, a HR, and 5 RBIs. Carter capped the 5th inning with a 3-run shot, that put Weathermatt out of reach.
Weathermatt has an interesting team to play with. They don't seem like they are doing well when you play with them, but they slowly put runs on the board playing small ball with the bottom of the order. Maybe it's because the 3-4 batters have not done a whole lot, that it seems like they are not doing well. But now he wins the first series.
Series MVP goes to Rob Deer, batting .786 with 13 RBIs including a grand slam. Gonzalez also batted .786 with 10 RBIs.
LVP goes to Womack. Only got on base 5 times in 14 ABs.
Don't blame.... Dave Justice. Went 10-12 with 4 HRs and 11 RBIs.
Dawson gets my (hands down) vote for player of the week. He went 19-20, with 7 HRs and 20 RBIs.
As a reminder, view the league standings in the first post of this thread, and open the Excel file for more in depth stats.
Did I mention that I wanted my stadium to be
LF = 475 feet
CF = 800 feet
RF = 523 feet
And my outfielders to have their batting speed?
nice write ups Stock
Very Nice.
Well, so much for my balanced approach... looks like I need to market for a slugger or two
So...does anyone need any speed?
Stock the spreadsheet players are listed on the wrong teams (on the individual stats page). And can you tell me how to rank the players. If I wanted to list them in order from most to least HR's (for example) how do I do that?
And after 1 week of playing with all the teams, I would be interested in Stock's assessment of who will win the divisions and the wild cards.

It's tough 1 series into it, but here is my week 1 assessment.
I think McClane, Big Hath, and Weathermatt run away with their divisions.
I think the "Bonds" division might be the weakest (or at least have the most parity top to bottom). I see no clear cut winner, but will go with Rack to win it, and no wild cards coming from the Bonds division.
I think GDavis, Nacho, & Ultimate have equal chances at wild cards. Gantry could make a run too with that stacked lefty line-up. I see Attezz's team easily coming in last place (I think he could perform as bad as Rack did last season--Coleman is a common denominator??). I would be surprised if Attezz wins more than 1 series this year. Just doesn't have the power (other than 2 batters) to clear the bases.
If this was just a 1 week season, this is what the seeding would look like for the playoffs.
1. Big Hath - 1st rond bye
2. McLane - 1st round bye
3. Stock - 1st round home field advantage
4. Weathermatt - 1st round home field advantage
5. Rack (wild card)
6. Nacho (wild card)

Interesting that you think the Bonds division is the weakest. I can certainly see a scenario where we just beat the fuck out of eachother and end up out of wild card contention. Can't wait for series #2.

Agree, "weakest" is probably the wrong word. Just the most parity may not allow any single team to end the season with a great record.
Just think, If Attezz only wins a few games this year, it would pretty much gaurantee that a wild card comes out of the "Ruth" division.
As far as the sorting goes, excel should be Mac compatable, but you may have to monkey with your settings to allow for Macros.
You can always just highlight all the data (by holding down the shift key and moving your curser), and then just go to Tools>>Sort.

did you say i wasn't allowed to change my lineup?
if you can:
Sheffield
Beltran
MRamirez
McGriff
Fisk
Tejada
Murphy
Boone
Crawford
This is awesome. Nice work, Stock.
Fear The Mick.
When you do change the lineups, please flip Womack and Taveras for me.
When you change my lineup please ditch everybody
Week 2 is in the books.
Attezz vs Fighton
Game 1: Again Attezz takes the game into the 9th inning. Ruth went 7-7 with 3 HRs, and Stahl added 4 triples. Fighton was trying to fight from behind the entire game. 3 double play balls kept ruining rallies. However, raw team power led by a 7-7 4HR Berra, was enough to give Fighton a come from behind victory in the 9th inning (their first lead of the game).
Game 2: Both offenses were stagnant early and it was 0-0 after the first inning. However, then Fighton's offense turned it on. Pujols and and Aramis Ramirez had 3 HRs each. Kent had a grand slam. Batters 7-9 went 15-15 with 3 HRs. Howard finally got things going adding 2 late HRs. Despite all this, Attezz was able to hang in there for a while, but just couldn't keep up. Fighton completes the 2 game sweep, while Attezz drops to 0-5.
Series MVP goes to
Fknmclane vs GDavis
Game 1: Well GDavis averaged 8 runs an inning in this game. Unfortunately, the game only lasted 1 inning as mclane put up 27 runs in the top of the first. Alomar, Ortiz, Thomas, Palmer, Colavito, & Uribe went a combined 21-21 with 7 HRs in (yes) 1 inning. On 1 bright note for GDavis' squad, Aaron did go 2-2 with 2 HRs.
Game 2: Mclane nearly finished it again in the first inning. With Gorman Thomas already with a grand slam in the first inning (2nd in 3 Abs), he got another chance in the 1st inning with the bases loaded but grounded into a 5-2-3 double play to end the inning. Aaron continues to be red hot (going 8-8 w/ 2 HRs) and kept Davis in the game. Add a Sauer grand slam, and a 3-HR night for Petrocceli and Horner, and GDavis was able to get hot enough in the last 2 innings to put away McLane early. Ironically, it took McLane 6 innings in this game to score as many runs as the 1st inning of game 1. Keep in mind that McLane has won 2 of his last 3 games without Mantle doing anything (only 8-17 with 0 HRs and 2 RBIs). If he gets hot in that line-up McLane is going to be the team to beat this year.
Series MVP goes to Aaron going 10-10 w/ 4 HRs and 11 RBIs.
LVP goes to Mantle. If he does even half of what is expected of him, McLane gets his second series sweep of the season. 4-10 (all singles) just doesn't cut it for the Mick.
Uribe was on fire in the 9-hole for McLane (7-9 with 4HRs (GS) and 9 RBIs).
Horner had a great series for Gdavis. (8-9 with 4HRs and 10 RBIs.
Nomaaa vs AlecTrevylan
Game 1: AlecTrevylan's squad just never got hot in this game. Scored 11 runs thru the first 3 innings led by a 3-3, 2HR game from Mays, but that wasn't enough. Crawford was 4-4 and he scored every time he was on base. Murphy had a grand slam in the 3rd inning. McGriff also added a HR in the win.
Game 2: More bad news for AlecTrevylan. His squad goes only 1-6 including a double play ground ball from Ordonez. 2 inning was more than enough for Nomaaa to put up 10 runs. The early slaugter was led by a 2-2, HR, 4 RBI game from Ramirez. McGriff, Fisk, Murphy, and Boone also had homers.
Series MVP I am going to give to Crawford. Although he had no HRs, he was Nomaaa's only guy to bat 1.000 in the series. Manny also had a big game going 5-6 with 9 RBIs. Murphy added 2 HRs (including a GS).
LVP is actually tough to pick. I'm going to go with Ichiro. Your leadoff guy cannot bat .250 in any series in this league (although his 1 hit was a triple).
Don't blame... Johnny Bench. Although he only had 2 at bats, he got hits in both.
Ultimate vs Big Hath
Game 1: Ultimate gets a good offensive showing from McCovey, Mitchel, Hundley, and Mondesi with 2 HRs each. Big Hath could never get anything but 2-3 runs per inning. Berkman killed him going 0-5 in the 2-hole.
Game 2 was so short I can pretty much tell you what happened in every AB. For Big Hath, Bonds pops out. Berkman hits a solo shot. Thome gets a single followed imediately by Killebrew grounding into a dp. Ultimate gets the bottom of the inning. All batters 1-9 get singles the first time through the lineup. Soriano hits a grand slam. Next 3 batters get singles (with Stargel getting the walk-off RBI). Ultimate bats 1.000 in game 2.
Series MVP goes to Soriano going 7-8, 2HRs (GS), and 5 RBIs.
LVP goes to Buhner, going 0-4 in the 2-game series.
Don't blame Killebrew. He went 4-5 in the series with a double, HR and 3 RBI.
Beefmaster vs Nacho
Game 1: Both offenses started out cold as hell, and score was tied at 1 a piece at the end of two. Beef scored 1 more run in the top of the 3rd on a DiMaggio solo shot. This was the perfect time for Nacho's squad to hot, and they did. They put up 11 runs in the bottom of the 3rd led by home runs from AROD and VLAD.
Game 2: Much of the same for Beef. Started out strong in the 1st inning leading off w/ a double followed by back-to-back HRs, but then just fizzled. Nacho kept the pressure on led by 4-4 games from Vlad and Andruw Jones (combining for 9 RBIs).
Series MVP goes to Vlad Guerrero going 6-7, 3HRs, & 8 RBIs. Andruw had a 7-7 game himself.
LVP goes to Campanella. 0-4 & GDP. 6-9 batters were shutout in the series on the RBI front.
Don't blame Stuart, who went 4-4, HR, 4 RBIs. Bonds also went 3-3 with a sac fly.
Rack vs Gantry
Game 1: Rack started out with a bang putting up 10 runs in the 1st. Gantry responds with 14 runs in the bottom of the first led by 2HRs from Mize. Things got a little quiet for awhile until Rack put up 18 runs in the top of the 4th. Gantry had his work cut out, and fell just short of preventing the 10-run rule.
Belle went 6-6 with 2HRs and 8 RBI, wile Bagwell had a 4HR game. Molly even added 2 HRs from the 9-hole.
Game 2: Rack could never get going in this game. Belle and Klein went a combined 1-7, and Kiner (4-4, 2HR, 6 RBI) was the only guy in the lineup with a great game. Gantry quietly kept consistent thru 5 innings. Mize went 5-5, 2HR, 4 RBI.
Series MVP goes to Kiner; 9-10, 5HRs, 12 RBIs. Mize and Bagwell both had 4HR games.
LVP goes to Chipper Jones. Went only 4-10 with 0 HRs and only 1 RBI in the series.
Ryno vs Weathermatt
Game 1; Although EDavis, Sandberg, Rice, and GCarter went a combined 6-6, the rest of Ryno's team was flat. After 2 innings Weathermatt's squad put of 16 runs and that is all they needed to end it. Kingman and Valentine combined 4-4 with 10 RBIs and a Grand Slam each.
Game 2; Both teams went at it for 7 innings. In the early innings there was no clear-cut winner although Weathermatt jumped out to a big lead with a Joe Carter Grand slam. Then in the 6th and 7th innings both teams put up double digits in the top/bottom of both innings. Kingman added his 2nd grand slam in as many games and McGwire with 6-6 with 2 HRs. However, Ryno's squad did not back down. Eric Davis and Dawson both added grand slams as well. Finally Palmiero ended it with a (ever so exciting) sac fly.
Series MVP goes to Eric Davis. Batted 9-10 in the leadoff spot with 3HRs and 10 RBIs. Kingman had 2 grand slams and 14 RBIs, but only batted .667.
LVP goes to Reggie Sanders. Only batted .333 in the leadoff spot with 0HRs and only 1 RBI.
Joe Carter and Mac had great games for weathermatt combining 16-18 with 6HRs and 15 RBIs.
Sandberg batted .800 in the series with 5 RBIs for Ryno, while Palmiero, Schmidt, & Dawson each added 2 HRs.
Stock vs Shooty
Game 1; Team Stock got 5 in the first inning led by Piazza & Griffey HRs. However, that was all the offense they could muster. Shooty promptly put up 15 runs by the 3rd, led by Sosa, Greenberg, M.Williams, Justice and Parrish going a combined 14-14, with 5 HRs.
Game 2; Congrats to Shooty in a 1 inning no hit victory. 10 runs scored in the first led by HRs from Edmonds and Greenberg. Stock's top of the order goes down 1-2-3.
Series MVP goes to Sosa; 5-5, 2B, 2HR, 6 RBIs. Although Greenberg, Williams, & Justice also batted 1.000 in the series.
LVP goes to Fryman, going hitless in the series.
Don't blame... Mel Ott who went 2-2 with a double in the series. (slim pickings).

Yes.... a jerry rigged box score sheet.
That is why I am only keeping track of the easy stats.
When I was a kid I kept RBI stats. I'd draw up the score sheets and have my Dad make copies for me.
It was some of the most fun I had other than being out playing real baseball.
Beefmaster vs Attezz
Game 1; Beefmaster needed just 2 innings to dispose of Attezz. Attez scored 1 run in the first off of a Konerko sac fly, and 1 run in the second from a Lobert solo HR. Hornsby, Bonds, and Campanella went a combined 6-6 with 6HRs in the 2-inning affair.
Game 2, Led by a 2-run shot from Ruth and an RBI triple from Chance, Attezz managed to score 50% more runs than in game 1. This was not enough. Zernial led the slaughter going 2-2, 2HR, 6 RBI. Robinson added 2 solo shots.
Series MVP goes to Campanella, batting 1.000 with 2HRs in the series. Hornsby, Bonds, and Frank Robinson had 3 HRs each.
LVP goes to Ty Cobb. 0-4 in the leadoff spot = crapped the bed.
Don't blame.... Ruth. He went 2-2 with a HR. Chance also went 2-2 with 2 triples.
Fighton vs Nacho
Game 1; Niether team really got anything huge going and was a rather fast 9 inning game. Although Nomar, Pujols, Berra and Howard all had HRs, they all batted sub .500 for Fighton. For Nacho, nobody really had a HUGE game (by RBI standards), but a 13 run 3rd, and a late clutch Grand Slam from AROD made all the difference (take that AROD AB, and the 3rd inning away and the team batted only slightly over .400.
Game 2 was all Nacho. A solo shot from Lefty O'Doul was Fighton's only offense. AROD had 2HRs and 4 RBIs in two innings. DiMaggio and Maris also had home runs.
Series MVP goes to AROD. He had 4 HRs (GS), and 9 RBIs in the 2 game sweep. Andruw Jones also had a great series, going 8-9. Wagner did not help at all going 1-8.
LVP goes to Howard, going 2-7 with only 1 RBI in the series.
Don't blame... Lefty O'Doul who went 5-7 with 3HRs and 9 RBIs in the series loss.
McLane vs Rack
Game 1 was a back and forth slugfest. McLane scored 40 runs thru the first 8 innings led by a sick performance from David Ortiz; 8-9, 5HRs (GS), 16 RBIs. Rack scored 38 runs in the same number of innings with 8/9 batters with multiple home runs. IROD got blanked. McLane really shot himself in the foot when he was not able to score in the top of the ninth (rally killed by a Gorman Thomas double play ball). Jeter quickly tied it up in the bottom of the 9th with a 2-run HR. Belle hit his 6th HR of the game to walk off (7-9 and 9 RBI). Jeter had 3 HRs, Kiner had 4 HRs. Bagwell had 4 HRs.
Game 2, McLane just started out flat (only 3 runs in the first two innings-no home runs). This was all Rack needed as his squad kept pace with game 1. Belle, Foxx, Kiner, Klein, and Molitor combined 10-12 w/ 3HRs and 12 RBIs in 2 innings.
Series MVP goes to Albert Belle; 10-12, 6HRs, 10 RBIs. Kiner had a 5HR series and Bagwell had a 4HR series.
LVP goes to Uribe, going only 3-9 with 0 RBIs. Although, Gorman Thomas did not really meet expectations either. He batted .500 with only 3 RBIs in the 43-run series, and grounded into 2 double plays.
Don't blame ... David Ortiz. He had an outstanding series, going 10-11 with 5HRs and 17 RBIs. Colavito batted .800 with 3 bombs from the #8 spot in the line-up, which is not too shabby.
GDavis vs Gantry
Game 1 started out like it was going to be a slugfest with both teams scoring in the double digits thru 2 innings. However, then both teams went cold until Gantry's Poopybutts had a 10 run 6th to give them the win. Ted Williams had 4 HRs & 6 RBIs. Dunn & York each added 2 HRs as well. For GDavis, 3 double play balls and an 0-4 game from Jose did not help them get any rallies going.
Game 2: Quite the contrary to game 1. Gantry batted around in the 1st putting up five runs. GDavis followed immediately with 12 runs in the bottom half. Gantry then put up a doughnut in the top of the 2nd. That was all GDavis needed to put away Gantry. Fielder ended the game with a walk-off blast. Canseco redeemed his 0-for Game 1 with a 3-3 game with a HR and 3 RBIs.
Series MVP goes to Hank Aaron. Although, he only had 2 HRs, he went 6-7 with 2 doubles and led both teams in RBIs with 8.
LVP goes to Jose. Although he redeemed himself with a good game 2, going 0-4 in game 1 with a double play ball to boot, may have cost GDavis that game.
Ted Williams, Delgado, & Dunn also had great games. Williams only had 5 hits in the series, but they were all HRs. Delgado had 3 HRs and went 6-7. Dunn went 6-7 with 3 HRs and 6 RBIs.
Nomaaa vs Ryno
Game 1, Nomaaa's squad just crapped the bed. Save for a solo HR from Boone, the rest of the team went 2-9 with 2 singles and 2 GDPs. Ryno's Eric Davis led the 3 inning slaughter; 3-3 with 2 HRs and 5 RBIs. Dawson went 2-2 with a HR.
Game 2, Ryno's 80's squad started off just like they left off game 1. They put up a 12-spot in the top of the first w/o hitting 1 home run. However, they then went cold for a while and let Nomaaa get right back into the game. Nomaaa was ahead after 8 innings and then Ryno put up 12 runs again in the top of the 9th led by 3-run HRs from Ripken and Schmidt. Nomaaa couldn't even get one run in the bottom of the 9th.
MVP goes to Mike Schmidt; 9-12, 3HR, 9 RBI. Although, he batted more than 100 points less than Schmidt, Ripken hit 4 HRs (GS) and drove in 14 runs in the series.
LVP goes to Fisk. Besides a solo HR, he went 0-7 in the series.
Don't blame... Beltran. From the #9 spot in the order he went 8-9 with a 3B & a HR. Scheffield also managed to drive in 12 runs and hit 3 HRs (GS) despite only batting .545 in the series. Brett Boone also had 3 HRs from the #8 spot in the order.
AlecTrevylan vs Weathermatt
Game 1 was all AlecT. Besides a solo shot from Juan Gonzalez, Weathermatt went 0-6 in 2 innings. Meanwhile, Mays had the worst game for AlecTrevylan's squad and he went 1-3 with a HR. Ichiro tore it up going 4-4 with a 3B, HR and 5 RBIs. Rollins even added a 3-runs shot. Gehrig had a grand slam. Glaus & Ordonez each had 2 HRs. Burks/Bench/Robinson combined 9-9 with a HR, 2 2B and 3 RBIs.
Game 2 was Weathermatt's turn to score some runs. Big Mac lead the pack with a 3 HR game and 6 RBIs in 3 innings. Joe Carter added 2 more HRs. Rollins' grand slam was the only bright spot from AlecT's team in this game.
Series MVP goes to Lou Gehrig going 5-5 with 2 HRs (GS) and 5 RBIs. Burks and Gonzalez also batted 1.000 in the series. Mac lead the series with 3 HRs, while Rollins lead the series with 9 RBIs.
LVP goes to Rob Deer going only 1-5 (single) and a GDP.
Ultimate vs Stock
Game 1, both teams batted around in the 1st inning and the score was close for the first few innings. However, Team Stock put up 13 runs in the bottom of the 4th to complete the slaughter. Mo Vaughn had the walk-off solo shot. Helton, Morgan & Ott all had multiple HR games.
Game 2 was a great game to play. Both offenses were putting up runs consistently. Each of Ultimate's first 5 batters had multiple home run games with Stargel going 7-7. Griffey, Piazza, & Ott had 3 HR games for Stock. Stock scored 11 runs in the top of the 8th led by 2 HRs (incl. a GS) from Piazza. This gave Stock a commanding lead going into the bottom of the 8th. Ultimate scored 6 runs and had a big opportunity to survive another inning until Strawberry popped up with the bases loaded to end the inning and the game.
Series MVP goes to Ken Griffey Jr easily. Went 12-13 with 4HRs, & 13 RBIs. Larry Walker & Mel Ott also had a great series. Walker going 11-13 with two HRs. Ott went 10-12 with 5 HRs (slugging 2.250 in the series).
LVP goes to Kevin Mitchel. He only batted .400 in the series, and with 48 runs scored by Ultimate, he was the only guy with 0 RBIs.
Don't blame.... Stargel; 9-11, 4HR, 7 RBIs. McCovey also had a 4 HR series.
Big Hath vs Shooty
Game 1 was all Big Hath. In the first inning 11 runs were scored. Bobby Bonds had 2 HRs. Thome, Killebrew, Greg Vaughn, Gordon and Furcal all had HRs too. Shooty gets blanked, capped off nicely with a Sosa GDP.
Game 2 Shooty started out much better putting up 12 runs in the top of the first. However, Big Hath countered nicely with 9 runs in the bottom half. From there on out, Big Hath kept pulling farther and farther away, and led by a 5 HR game from Greg Vaughn, finally finished it in the 5th inning. Bobby Bonds also went 6-6 with 4 doubles and a triple.
Series MVP goes to Greg Vaughn; 6-7 with 6 HRs in the series. Bonds batted 1.000 in the series with 2 HRs, 4 2Bs, & a 3B.
LVP goes to Tavaras. 0-4 in the series.
Don't blame.... Dave Justice; 4-4 in the series with a HR.

That is crazy. I feel like I need to recheck the spreadsheet to see if that is really true (I am sure it is).
Guessing a couple of close wins in low scoring games coupled with a bad performing loss will do that to you.

I think your numbers are right. I just think that teams haven't scored a bunch of runs against him. I think it would be easier to see if you posted the
runs against stat. I mean McLane scored 40 runs against me in one game. Who knows if Nacho has had 40 runs scored against him in 7 games.
Reggie Jackson may be my worst player so far. Unacceptable...

Attezz vs Nacho
Game 1 Nacho puts in a sub par game, only being able to muster 25 runs in 8 innings. However, this was enough to slaughter Attezz, who hung in there (even trading the lead several times). Ruth did his best going 3-4 with 2 HRs and 7 RBIs, but just can't carry this team himself. Yount crapped the bed with an impressive 0-5 performance. This may have been the difference separating Attezz from his season's first win. Nacho's Dimaggio lit it up going 6-7 with 3 HRs and 6 RBIs.
Game 2; ATTEZZ WINS!! They actually had a chance to end it in the bottom of the first when Cobb popped out in the infield with the bases loaded. However, Attezz bats around again in the bottom of the 2nd and the Babe walks off after his 3rd straight HR of the game. Coleman, Ruth, Samuel, and Yount combined 14-14 with 4HRs, 3B, 2B, and 19 RBIs.
Series MVP goes to Babe Ruth going 7-8 with 4HRs and 14 RBIs.
LVP goes to Biggio, going 3-8 with only 2 RBIs in the series split.
Coleman also had a great game for Attezz, going 7-9 with 7 RBIs doing a great job of setting up the pins for Ruth.
Fighton vs Beefmaster
Game 1 was pretty uneventful thru the first 7 innings. Both teams were scoring runs, but only consistently 1-3 runs per inning. Then Fighton turned it on by putting up 9 runs in the top of the 8th and then 7 more in the 9th. Fighton had an impressive 31-20 lead going into the bottom of the 9th. However, Beefmaster turned it on big time putting up a 15 spot with Campanella walking off in "grand" fashion.
It was really Kent/Nomar going a quiet 7-16 with a HR and only 2 RBIs that may have been the difference in this game. Pujols/Wilson had 3HRs each and Brett was a tough out in the 9-spot going 6-7; 2HRs.
For Beefmaster, Conigliaro went 7-7 with 3HRs and 7 RBIs. Hornsby had a GS. Bonds had 3HRs and a triple. Campanella had 3 HRs (GS).
Game 2 Beef started out well in the top of the first until Campanella grounded into a DP, and only scored 2 runs. Fighton mad'em pay, putting up 12 runs in the bottom with Kent, Nomar, Pujols, Howard, & Brett all hitting bombs.
Series MVP goes to Brett, going 7/8 with 3HRs and 8 RBIs batting in the 9-spot. Conigliaro also had a great series, going 7/7 with 7 RBIs.
LVP goes to Allen. Only went 9/3 with only 1 RBI (including a GDP) batting in the 2-spot.
McLane vs Gantry
Game 1 both teams started out well, batting around in the first inning. However, then McLane's squad went cold (save for Mantle; 2HRs & 4 RBIs in to Abs). Gantry kept the foot on the pedal and ended it in the 3rd. Teddy Ballgame went 4-4 with 2HRs & 5 RBIs. Dunn and HoJo combined 6-6. Reggie also had 5 HRs, incl a HR. McLane's Uribe; the only batter w/o a hit in the game.
Game 2, was all Gantry. Batted around 1 2/3 times, and put up 12 runs led by a York Grand Slam and HRs from Jackson, Dunn and Giambi. McLane got back-to-back singles from Thomas/Mantle, and that was it.
Seris MVP goes to York; 3-4, 2HR (GS), 7 RBIs.
LVP goes to Uribe. 0-2 in the series.
Don't blame... Mantle; 3-3, 2HRs in the series. Palmer & Colavito also batted 1.000 in the series loss.
GDavis vs Rack
Game 1; Rack's squad played well led by Belle/IROD combining 6-6, 2HRs, 6 RBIs, but GDavis' offense was relentless.
Aaron went 5-5, 3HRs, 2B, 7 RBIs from the leadoff spot. Canseco, Fielder, and Sauer combined 14-14, 5HRs, 16 RBIs. Delgado/Petrocelli also added HRs.
Game 2 was a hell of a game. Thru the first 4 inning Gdavis fell just short of slaughtering Rack every inning. However, Rack staid consistent and really turned it on in the later innings to pull it out by a hefty margin. So many players from both teams had great games to name them all. Delgado went 8-8, 4HRs, 7 RBIs for GDavis. Klein went 9-9, HR, 5 2B, 8 RBIs for Rack. Jeter, Bell, Kiner, Bagwell had 3 HRs each.
Series MVP goes to Delgado; 12-13, 5HR, 9 RBI.
LVP goes to Posada; 4-13 with 2 RBIs (fewest of any player on either team).
Nomaaa vs Weathermatt
Game 1; 21 points was all Nomaaa needed to put away Weathermatt in 3 innings. Ramirez/Boone/Beltran combined 10-10, HR, 2 2B, 10 RBI. Fisk had a HR and 6 RBIs. Although, Weathermatt hit more home runs than Nomaaa, there were no base runners for all 4 of them.
Game 2, Weathermatt came back around. Despite and 0-4 performance from Deer and sub par performances from Joe Carter and Big Mac, Sanders and Javy Lopez picked up the slack combining 9-9, 4HRs (2 GS), 11 RBIs. Sheffield added a grand slam for Nomaaa, but just wasn't enough. Fisk, Tejada, and Murphy all had sub .500 games at the plate.
AlecTrevylan vs Ryno
Game 1 was all Alec. Ryno was just hanging in there by a run or two to prevent from being slaughtered thru three innings. Finally Alec put it away in the 4th. Ordonez had 3HRs in his 1st 3 Abs with 8 RBIs. Ichiro had 3 doublse. Rollins had a pair of triples. Gehrig with 4-4. Mike Schmidt had an outstanding game for Ryno (4-4, 2HRs, 2B, 4 RBIs), but he was pretty much the only one. Eric Davis going only 1-4 with a single in the leadoff spot really made it hard to get anything going.
Game 2, Ryno's offense woke up, and batted around 3 times in 2 innings, led by a 4-4 charge from Eric Davis (HR). Sandberg, Dawson, WClark also added HRs.
Despite Glaus' 2-2 (2HR) performance as well as Ichiro, Mays, Bench, & Robinson combining 9-9, AlecT could still only get 11 runs in 2 innings. Gehrig/Ordonez (who were phenomenal in game 1) slipped, combining 1-5 with a single.
Series MVP goes to Bench; 6-6, 2 2B, HR.
LVP goes to Burks, 3-6 and only 1 RBI in the series.
Ultimate vs Shooty
In Game 1 Shooty's guys had a lackluster performance. The biggest stars being Sosa/Greenberg going 8-8, but with 0 HRs. Ultimate had 2 huge innings putting up 15 in the 2nd and 12 in the 5th. Strawberry had 2 HRs (GS) with 9 RBIs. McCovey had an outstanding game going 6-6 with 3HRs.
Game 2; Ultimate jumped out early to a 9 run lead after 1 inning complete. It pretty much staid at that margin (give or take a run or two) until the 7th when Ultimate was able to finally run-rule the struggling babbits. Sosa was no blame with 4 2-run HRs in the game. Greenberg had 3HRs and Parrish added a pair as well..... just wasn't enough. How about Mondesi going 5-5 w/ 3HRs and a double from the 9-spot! Also, Stargel continues to be red hot going 5-6 with 2HRs and 2 2Bs.
Series MVP goes to Stargel; 11-12, 3HRs, 3 2Bs, 7 RBIs in the series. BTW, Stargel is now 19 for his last 20 ABs.
LVP goes to Matt Williams; only 2-8 and a GIDP.
Don't blame... Sosa; 8-9, 4HRs, 10 RBIs in the series loss.
BigHath vs Stock
Game 1; was all BigHath. Team Stock bats around in the first, but then fades off, as Helton (3-3, 2HRs) is the only guy putting up any real offense. BigHath puts up 23 runs in 3 innings led by Berkman (3-4, GS, 6 RBIs) and Killebrew (4-4, 2HRs, 6 RBIs).
Game 2; Stock has a huge first putting up 11 runs. However, BigHath comes right back with 16 runs in the bottom half, taking all the wind out of their sails. Buhner/Gvaughn were both 4-4 with a HR. Furcal was 4-4 with 2 2B, and a 3B.
Series MVP goes to Killebrew; 7-8, 3HRs, 8 RBIs in the series sweep.
LVP goes to Mo Vaughn (only player to not have an RBI in the series). Believe it or not, nobody for Stock batted below .500 in the series. The big problem was everyone being mediocre.
Don't blame.... Helton; 4-6 3HRs, 8 RBIs.
My team = still the best...
Tough run for my squad. This is awful.
That's what I like to see, POTATOES!
Still haven't lost a series, though I think I split the last three.

Can't you open the excel file?
I forgot about the file.
Damn, teams are averaging 28 runs a game against me. I need to improve me defense. In comparison, Nacho, your first place team, has the best defense only allowing 13 runs per game.
Yeah, Nacho's team is really a mystery to me.
He is near the bottom in almost every offensive category, yet is tied with the best record in the league.
Just wait until my offense starts performing.
UNSTOPPABLE.
I don't have any of the 20 worst OPS players in the league, therefore I'm the best!
Any updates here, stock?
Week 5
Attezz vs Nomaaa
Game 1; Attezz batted around in the first, putting up 6 runs, but then was shut out. Nomaaa finally puts it away in the 3rd via Sheffield walk off Grand Slam (3rd HR of the game). Ramirez/McGriff/Beltran batted 1.000 in the game w/ 3 HRs.
Game 2; Again Attezz started out well, scoring 7 runs in the first. And if the Babe would not have choked (starting the game 1-4 w/ a single), they could have won. After both the 2nd & 3rd innings, Attezz was up by 9. Instead Nomaaa slowly came back, and this time it was Manny's turn to walk off with a GS (3rd HR of the game). McGriff also had a multi-HR game.
Game 3; Unlike in game 2, Attezz took advantage of Nomaaa's lazy offense. 1-4 batters combined 18-23, 4HRs, 3 3Bs, 3 2Bs, & 21 RBIs. Stahl went 4-5 w/ 2 triples from the 9-spot. Murphy had a good game for Nomaa (4-4, 2HRs), as well did most the bottom of the order. It was the top of the order that took a nap in game 3.
Series MVP goes to Manny Ramirez (12-13, 4HRs (GS) & 12 RBIs in the series victory). Sheffield had 5HRs in the series while McGriff, Boone, and Beltran added 3 each.
LVP goes to Coleman (5-12 in the series), the only player with a sub .500 BA in the series.
Don't blame.... Konerko; 11-13, 3 HRs, 6 RBIs in the series loss.
McLane vs Ultimate
Game 1 was all McLane. Mantle/Gthomas combined 6-6, 4HRs, 8 RBIs. Palmer/Colavito each batted 1.000 w/ a HR each. Ultimate's entire team went only 4-9 with 0HRs.
Game 2; 45 runs scored in 3 innings & Stargel, Mondesi, & Ortiz with Grand Slams. Ultimate ends it in the bottom of the second with a walk-off shot from McCovey (5-5). Soriano and Mitchel combined 9-9 with 2 HRs each.
Game 3 was relatively non-eventful thru 6 innings and was tied 20-20. That is when a spark was lit under Team McLane's ass, and they put up 19 runs in the top of the 7th. Ortiz and Mantle were relatively quiet compared to what we would expect from them. It was Colavito who went insane; 7-7, 3HRs, 10 RBIs.
Series MVP goes to Colavito; 12-13, 5HRs, 14RBIs.
LVP goes to Strawberry. Batted only .545 in the series with 0 HRs from the 2-spot. Mondesi was the only guy with a lower average in the series, but gets a pass for hitting a clutch Grand Slam in Game 2 from the 9-spot.
Don't blame... Kevin Mitchel for the series loss; 10-10, 4HRs. Mitchel is now 12 for his last 12 Abs over 4 games.
Fighton vs AlecTrevylan
Game 1; Although Fighton was leading by 6 to 9 runs after every inning, AT was able to hang in there for 9 innings before losing. Pujols went 7-8 w/ 3HRs. Aramis Ramirez went 7-7 with a HR. Wilson had a 3-HR game. Despite Ichiro getting 3 triples, nothing too exciting happening on AlecT's offense.
Game 2 was Fighton's turn to go cold, only putting up 16 runs in 5 innings. AlecT, led by a 5-5, 2HR Burks, ends it in the bottom of the 5th with a 2-RBI double from Rollins. All this despite Fighton's Kent/Berra/Brett combining 13-13 w/ 2HRs. The rest of the team batted below .500.
Game 3 was just quick beat down on AlecT. 17-0 after 1 inning. Kent went 3-3 w/ a HR. Howard and Wilson each had 3-run HRs.
Series MVP goes to Berra; 12-14, 2HRs, 7 RBIs.
LVP goes to Willie Mays. You need more than a 6-12 series with 2HRs from your cleanup batter.
Don't blame... Troy Glaus; 9-11, 2HRs, 5 RBIs in the series loss.
GDavis vs BigHath
In Game 1, despite a 2-HR (GS) game from Burkman and a 3-HR game from Killebrew, Gdavis gets the victory in 9 innings. Delgado led the way going 7-8, w/ 2 HRs, 8 RBIs.
Game 2, Gdavis never lost a big league, and BigHath was just haning in there to avoid the slaughter. Finally, in the 7th BigHath could not hang anymore. Delgado went 7-8 w/ 4HRs and 10 RBIs. Burkman & Gordon combined 13-13, 4HRs, 12 RBIs in the losing effort for BigHath.
Game 3, BigHath avoids the sweep led by a 4-4 (3HR) game from Killebrew. Also, Greg Vaughn (who went 4-12 with 2 GDIPs & 0 RBIs in the first 2 games) busted out of his slump with a 3-3, 3HR, 5 RBI game.
Series MVP goes (hands down) to Carlos Delgado; 17-19, 7HRs, 19 RBIs.
LVP goes to Furcal; lowest BA, RBIs and HRs for BigHath (.429-1-0).
Don't blame ... Lance Berkman; 15-18, 4HRs, 18 RBIs. Killebrew also had 8HRs in the series loss.
Beefmaster vs Ryno
Game 1; 20 runs in two innings was too much for Ryno to handle.Frank Robinson had a Grand Slam while Stephens and Campanela had 2 HRs each.
Game 2; Ryno had the lead until the 7th when BM went up 21-18. Ryno could never come back from the defecit despite his 1-5 & 7 batters all with multi HR games. Hornsby, Frank Robinson and Zernial all had 3-HR games for Beef.
Game 3; Beef makes quick work of Ryno 17-1 in one inning. Beefmaster put 13 guys to the plate in the 1st inning before recording the first out of the game. Conigliaro was 2-2 with two 3-run HRs. Bonds also added 2 HRs.
It should be noted that everyone in Beef's line-up had at least 3 HRs in the series.
Series MVP goes to Hornsby with 5HRs, 4 doubles, and 8 RBIs.
LVP goes to Ripken, who had a herendous series slugging only .143 with 0 RBIs.
Don't blame .... Jimmy Rice, who went 7-7 w/ 2HRs and a double in the series loss.
Rack vs Stock
Game 1; Stock could just not score runs other than 3 solo HRs in 3 innings. Rack led by a 2-HR game from Foxx was able to end it quickly, helped by a 6-6 performance from the 7-8-9 batters.
Game 2; Stock started out great and had every chance in the world to put it away with a 6 run lead going into the bottom of the 3rd, with Rack only scoring 1 run in the 4-6th innings. However, stock comes up lame as well and then Rack turns it on in the 7th (batting around with a Bagwell GS) and then puts up 14 runs in the eighth, led by a Jeter GS.
Game 3; Jeter leads off the game with a HR, and then Rack goes 3-9 (w/ 0 runs) the rest of the game. Stock finally takes advantage of the opening and ends it in the 2nd with a Fryman walk-off HR. Piazza went 2-2, 2HRs, 5 RBIs in the game.
Series MVP goes to Bagwell; 9-11, 2HRs (GS), 2 doubles, 1 triple, 9 RBIs.
LVP goes to Henderson, only 3-11 from the 2-spot. Griffey also shit the bed with only 1 RBI and 0 HRs from the 3-spot (despite batting .727) in the series loss.
Don't blame ... Joe Morgan who went 5-7, HR, 5 RBIs in the 2 series losses.
Nacho vs Weathermatt
Game 1; started out with a bang... each team scoring 8 runs in the 1st. It then took both team 'till the 7th inning to double that score, and that is when Nacho really pulled ahead scoring 7 unanswered runs in the 8th and 9 more in the 9th. Vlad went 8-9. Collins had 3 triples. Wagner had 4 doubles, a triple, and a HR. Dimaggio and ARod each had 3-HR games. For Weathermatt, despite Sanders going 7-7, and Batista 6-7, Mac and JuanGone each went 1-7 with a single.
Game 2; Nacho had a decent lead most the game, and was up 19-13 going into the bottom of the 6th, where Weathermatt's guys turned it on and scored 17 runs capped by a Kingman 3-run walk of HR. Javy Lopez had a 2-HR game and Rob Deer went 5-5, HR, 4 RBIs.
Game 3; Nacho ended it early helped by an 11 run 3rd inning. ARod went 4-4, 2HRs (GS), 6 RBIs. DiMagio/Guerrero combined 8-8, 3HRs, 2B, 3 RBIs.
Series MVP goes to AROD; 13-18, 8HRs (GS), 2B, 16 RBIs.
LVP goes to Mark McGwire. He was only 5-15 w/ 1HR in the series.
Don't blame... Reggie Sanders; 13-15, 4HRs, 2 doubles, 10 RBIs in the series loss.
Gantry vs Shooty
Game 1; Shooty only needed a 2-Run blast from Justice in the bottom of the 2nd to complete the slaughter. Greenberg was 2-2, HR, 4 RBIs. For Gantry... Ted Williams, Dunn, HoJo, & Deshields combined 0-5.
Game 2; Not the most offensive game I have played in RBI. In fact, not even 40 total runs scored in 9 full innings. Gantry scored 1 or fewer runs in 5 innings. Greenberg had a 3-HR, 5-RBI game for Shooty.
Game 3; Sosa completes the sweep with a 1st inning walk-off HR. Gantry goes 0-3 in the game....Shooty's 2nd no-hit victory of the season. Parrish had a 3-run HR in his only AB of the game, and Womack had 2 triples in two trips.
Series MVP goes to Greenberg; 7-9, 4HRs, 10 RBIs.
LVP goes to HOJO; batting only .286 in the series loss.
Don't blame... Mize; who batted .714 in the series loss.
Finally back on track, thank goodness for Colavito.
only a game back!
Fuck that...
SWEEP!
Still on top!
Some observations, just over 25% through the regular season.
If the season were to end today, this is what the seeding would look like for the playoffs.
1. Nacho - First Round Bye - Home Field throughout.
2. Rack - First Round Bye - Home Field unless he plays Nacho.
3. Big Hath - Will play the #6 seed in the first round (home field)
4. Ultimate - Will play the #5 seed in the first round. (home field)
5. GDavis - Wild Card
6. Beefmaster - Wild Card
Rack has 5 guys in the top 10 in HRs; Kiner (22), Bagwell (20), Belle (20), Foxx (18), & Jeter (18).
GDavis has the top 2 guys in BAV; Aaron (.836) and Delgado (.820).
Barry Bonds and Harmon Killebrew are slugging over 2.000 on the season.
Gary Sheffield has 3 Grand Slams so far.
Ichiro & Crawford have 10 triples each so far.
Soriano has 19 doubles (6 more than next in line).
IMO...
The biggest disappointment so far is: Mark McGwire. He was a first round draft pick (#8 overall), but is ranked 89th in Slugging and 115th in Batting Average.
The best draft pick so far is: Rocky Colavito. He was a 6th round draft pick (#85 overall), but is ranked 13th in Slugging and 11th in Batting Average.
The best 9th round pick so far is: Tony Conigliaro. Although he is ranked 41st in slugging (better than Mark McGwire btw), he is ranked 6th in batting average.
The next week (week 6) will be an interdivision (2-game) series b/w the "Ruth" & "Pujols" division and the "Bonds" & "AROD" division.
After week 6 is complete, we will be 1/3 complete with the regular season. At this time, all managers will have a chance to make changes to their line-ups.
My name, team or players weren't mentioned once. Therefore I suck...

Don't be silly, Gantry. There are plenty of other reasons why you suck, all of which supercede these reasons.
Like missing that big sheets of player ratings before I made my first pick?
my leadoff man leads the league in grand slams. awesome.
Week 6

Game 1; Despite a 3-run HR from Ruth in the 1st inning, it only took 2 innings for Gdavis to slaughter Attezz 13-3 w/ a walkoff HR from Aaron.
Game 2; Attezz gave GD a scare, putting up 12 runs in the 5th and going up 20-15. However, Gdavis (led by multi-HR games from Aaron, Canseco, Delgado, & Posada) took the lead back in the 7th and never looked back.

However, then BigHath came back with 16 runs in the bottom of the 5th and 10 more in the 6th, and looked to have taken control. Then Nomaaa turned it on in the 8th and 9th and ended up winning by 10. Manny and Brett Boone both had 4-HR games for Nomaaa. Thome went 7-7 (2HRs) and Buhner had a 3-HR (GS) game in BigHath's loss.

Game 2, Gantry started just as hot as in the first game (scoring 19 runs in the first 2 innings). However, Stock did not keep pace this game (scoring only 7; despite a Fryman grand slam). Teddy Ballgame was 3-3, 2HRs, 6 RBIs. Mize was 3-3, 2HRs, 4 RBIs. Mathews/HoJo combined 6-6.

one thing on the Stats tab - looks like you've got all the sort macros starting at row 5, but the actual stats start at row 4 (the ScrollRow also stops at 5)
HOLY SHIT.
I... did I get a series win?
And yeah man, thanks for this, I'm fully aware how ridiculously tiresome and hard work this is, and just wanted you to know I'm thankful :-)

fkn macros; you add/delete a row of data for something and they get all fucked up.
I will fix with the next posting.
Sorry Nacho... AROD isn't leading in every offensive category.

Week 9
Attezz vs Ultimate
Game 1; Attezz started out strong putting up 6 runs in the 1st inning. He then topped that in the 2nd inning with 7 runs. Despite Ultimate leading off the game with back-to-back HRs, he was only able to scrap 1 more run total. Attezz wins his 3rd game of the season agains first place Ultimate. Coleman was 3-3 (all singles). The Babe was 3-3, HR. Cobb/Chance/Stahl combined 5-7, 3 triples.
Game 2; Attezz started out hot (again) putting up 5 runs in the first. Konerko had a perfect 3-3, 3HR, 8 RBI game. However, Ultimate consistently put up 4 to 8 runs every inning and finally ended it in the 4th. Mitchell had a GS, and Snider was 4-4, 2HRs.
Game 3; Attezz starts out great (as would be the pattern in this series), and even had a lead of 22-10 going into the bottom of the 5th. However, Ultimate would get it going scoring 6-3-13 runs in the 5th, 6th, & 7th innings. In the meantime Attezz puts up doughnuts in the 6th & 7th making Soriano's 2-run HR in the 7th a walkoff.

Sheffield/Ramirez had 2HRs each. Nobody had a multi HR game for McLane.
Game 2; was similar in offense to game 1. Other than a couple glimpses of great offense (ie.. Murphy/Boone with 2HRs each for Nomaaa and a GS from Frank Thomas), no team really took off. Nomaaa scores 24 runs in 8 innings for the second game in a row, and is enough to win both games.
Game 3; McLane finally got some offense going and put up 21 runs in 4 innings, led by a near perfect game from David Ortiz (4-4, 3HRs, 8 RBIs). Mantle/Palmer also had multi HR games. This was enough to put away Nomaaa and preventing the sweep. Boone's 0-3 performance did not help matters.
Series MVP goes to Dale Murphy; 12-15, 4 HRs, 8 RBIs.
LVP goes to Tettleton; 6-16, 4 RBIs in series loss. Besides Frank Thomas' GS in game 1, he was only 6-15 w/ 2RBIs from the 3-spot.

Delgado was 7-8 (HR), 7 RBIs. AlecT had 4 guys with multi-HR games (vs 0 from GDavis), but was still not enough.
Game 3; AlecT quickly avoided the sweep 5-15 in 2 innings. Alec put up 12 runs in the 1st led by a Glaus GS. Then Robinson put it away with a 3-run HR in the bottom of the 2nd.

Game 1; AlecT just had trouble scoring runs and only came up with 10 in 4 innings. Shooty ended it in the bottom of the forth on a Womack walk-off triple. Edmonds & Matt Williams were both 4-4 with a HR each.
Game 2; was a lot like game 1. Shooty hits 12 HRs in 5 innings and ends it. Gehrig and Sexson had a 3HR game for Shooty. Ichiro/Burks/Bench/Ordonez combined 3-12, 0 RBIs for AlecT in game 2.
Series MVP goes to Edmonds; 8-9, 3HRs, 9 RBIs in series sweep.
LVP goes to Ichiro; .333 BA, 0 RBIs in series loss.
Don't blame... Lou Gehrig; 5-6, 2HRs, 6 RBIs in the series loss.
BigHath vs Nacho
Game 1; BigHath puts up big 5th & 6th innings, a Nacho just can't hang any longer. Nacho's 1-3 hitters were 5-6 each. Buhner was 5-6, 2HRs (GS), 3 2Bs, 9 RBIs. Greg Vaughn added 2 straight 3-run HRs.
Game 2; was close until the last couple of innings when BigHath started to pull ahead. Nacho was able to keep it close up to that point driven by a DiMaggio GS, and 3 other HRs. 5 players for BigHath had a multi HR game.
Series MVP goes to Jim Thome; 11-13, 2HRs, 6 RBIs. Despite only batting .692 in the series, Greg Vaughn had 5HRs and 15 RBIs in the series sweep.
LVP goes to Wagner; batted only .364 w/ only 1 RBI in the series.
Don't blame...DiMaggio and Andruw Jones who hit 5HRs each in the loss.
Picking Honus Wagner was a horrible move on my part...
Choke on it, Ryno.

Not really.
He is still outperforming (IMO) 6 shortstops in our league (including Garciaparra - Fighton's 2nd pick overall).
Wagner is also outperforming 2/3 of Atezz's lineup.
I knew I should have picked Honus Wagner.
It bothers me that I have the most potent lineup in the league (highest runs/batter) and am just a game over .500. I think maybe I need to shake up my batting order, because Stephens is getting absolutely crushed.
Stock, have you kept track of runs allowed? My team's got to be near the top.

Not sure I follow that logic.
I haven't been keeping track of runs allowed, but I have the info to calculate it in the spreadsheet.
On the "Schedule" tab, I have the score and #innings played for every game.
For Beef:
Runs allowed per inning.
Although you are near the top, you are no the worst. My team and AlecT's team are giving up more than 5 runs/inning.
You have the most runs per AB, but happen to be in the same division as Rack (#2 overall). I am guessing if you keep up your current offense, you should make the playoffs.
The last 6 games of the season will be divisional games, so most should have a chance to make the playoffs going into the last couple of weeks.

It was a (poorly-executed) joke - I was remarking that Stephens (who bats 9th and is officially the pitcher) was getting shelled, so maybe I should switch around the batting order to let someone else "pitch".

At the 2/3 mark, so after week 12.
Playoff teams will then have the chance to change their lineups one more time before the playoffs start.

You've accomplished that feet 3 different times this season.
You have yet to win 3 games in a row.
How many times have a won two games in a row in the same series? Seems like I always fkn split...

Your right.
That was a horrible pick.
Beef you need to work on your defense.
This league is awesome and I look forward to each update. Great job Stock.
Is there going to be a season #2? Perhaps just using their best season instead of their entire career?
I agree, I'd like to keep this thing going for future seasons.
Agreed.
I wish our All Time Baseball league was run as well. That fizzled out after a great start. I blame Attez.
I blame all the bickering.
Week 11
Attezz vs Ryno
Game 1; 14 runs in 3 innings was enough to put away Attezz. Palmiero/Rice were each 3-3 w/ a HR. For Attezz, Coleman, Konerko, Samuel, Lobert, and Stahl were hitless.
Game 2; was much better and the lead changed several times. After 6 innings Attezz had a 16-19 lead. Then things fell apart as Ryno outscored Attezz in the 7th inning 14-1, and the game was over. The Babe was 5-5, 3HRs (GS), 10 RBIs in the loss. Chance was 5-5 (3B). Everyone in Ryno's lineup hit at least 1 HR except (ironically) Sandberg.
Series MVP goes to Palmiero; 9-10, 3HRs, 10 RBIs. Gary Carter also had a good game from the 9-spot; 3HRs & 8 RBIs.
LVP ... goes to Lobert. An easy choice after going 0-6 in the series.
Don't blame... Babe Ruth; 6-7, 4HRs, 13 RBIs in the series loss. Chance also had a great game, going 6-6, w/ 2 RBIs.
McLane vs Stock
Game 1; Stock did very well putting up 27 runs in 4 innings. Walker/Ott/Helton batted 1.000 in the game, combining for 6HRs and 17 RBIs. The only problem was that McLane was absolutely on fire (40 runs in 4 innings). Mantle was 6-6, 2HRs, 2 2Bs, 7 RBIs. Tettleton was 5-5, 3HRs, 7 RBIs. Palmer was 5-6, 4HRs, 8 RBIs.
Game 2; Stock stayed consistent with game 1 and put up 21 runs in 3 innings. McLane evidentally used all of his runs up in game one and could only put 10 on the board. For Stock, Walker went 4-4, 2HRs, 4 RBIs. Griffey hit the cycle in his 4 Abs, 4 RBIs.
Series MVP is Mickey Tettleton; 7-7, 4HRs, 9 RBIs in the series split. Larry Walker also batted 1.000 with 3HRs and 8 RBIs.
LVP goes to .... Rickey Henderson who batted only .429 with only 1 RBI in a series where 98 runs were scored.
Nomaaa vs Beefmaser
Game 1 was all Beefmaster, as Nomaaa could only put 1 run on the board in 2 innings. Allen was 2-2 (HR), Stephens had a 3-run HR in his only AB, and Campanella ended the game with a walk-off Grand Slam.
Game 2; Beefmaster put up 13 runs in the top of the 1st inning. Campanella was 2-2 with a pair of 3-run HRs. Nomaaa got 2 runs in the bottom of the first from a Manny HR, but that was it, and that was it.
Series MVP goes to Campanella; 3-4 with two 3-run HRs and a Grand Slam (10 RBIs).
LVP goes to Tejada. Although, Murphy & Crawford were alos 0-1 in the series, Tejada popped up in the first series with the bases loaded and two outs.
Don't blame... Brett Boone; A solo HR in his only AB in the series.
Ultimate vs Rack
Game 1 was a slugfest through the first two innings. Through 2 innings, everyone in Ultimate's lineup had a HR except for Hundley (a measley 2-2), and had 14 runs on the board. Rack batted .786 in the first 2 innings putting up 20 runs. Ultimate fell flat in the 3rd inning with a doughnut, while Rack was able to finish it with walk off HR from Chipper (who was 4-4, 3HRs in the game-same line as Belle). Kiner also had a multi HR game for Rack.
Game 2; Rack kept the pace putting up 12 runs in two innings. Foxx and IROD were both 2-2 (2HRs). Mitchel capped Ultimate's 2 run assault with an 0-1 (GIDP) effort.
Series MVP goes to IROD; 5-5, 2HRs, 4 RBIs. Belle also had a nice 3HR series (6 RBIs).
LVP goes to Mondesi; despite a HR, batted only .333 (lowest in the series).
Don't blame...Stargel; 3-4, 2HRs, 5 RBIs in series loss.
Fighton vs Weathermatt
Game 1; was all Fighton, putting up 15 runs in 2 innings. Nomar had a perfect game at the plate; 3-3, 3HRs, 7 RBIs.
Game 2 was no different. Weathermatt could not even put 1 run on the board, while Fighton put up 10 in 2 innings.O'Doule had a perfect day at the plate; 2-2, 2HRs, 5 RBIs.
Series MVP goes to Lefty O'Doule; 4-4, 3HRs, 2B, 7 RBIs. Nomar also had a great game; 4-4, 3HRs, 7 RBIs.
LVP goes to .... Several; Kingman/Deer/Valentin combined 0-5, 0 RBIs.
Don't blame... Gonzalez; 2-2, HR, 2B in the series loss.
GDavis vs Shooty
Game 1; was tight the entire game. For Shooty, Edmonds was 7-8, HR, 6 RBIs. Parrish added 5 hits (incl a GS). For Gdavis, Sauer was 7-8, 3HRs, 9 RBIs. Shooty jumped out to a decent lead in the bottom of the 8th, but Gdavis responded with 9 runs in the top of the 9th to force Shooty to come to the plate in the bottom half. Shooty, flopped and put up 0 runs with his 3-6 hitters.
Game 2; was nearly identical to game 1. The only difference was Shooty scoring 1 more run while still blowing it in the 9th inning. Despite the loss, Matt Williams had a phenomenal game; 7-7, 5HRs, 10 RBIs. Parrish was 6-7, 3HRs (GS for second game in a row), 9 RBIs. Taveras' 0-7 game didn't help matters. GDavis was just more all around consistent.Aaron & Delgado each had 3HRs.
Series MVP goes to Sauer; 12-15, 5HRs, 14 RBIs in the series sweep.
LVP goes to Taveras; 3-14, 0HRs, 2 RBIs. Sosa also had an off series; despite hitting 3HRs in the series, only batted .438.
Don't blame... Lance Parrish; 11-14, 4HRs (2 grand slams), 14 RBIs in the series loss. Greenburg & Matt Williams each had 6HRs and combined for 24 RBIs in the series loss.
AlecTrevylan vs Nacho
Game 1; Nacho made a quick game of it as AlecT could only put up 3 runs in the first 2 innings. Guererro had 2HRs & 5 RBIs in his only 2 ABs. Maris was 2-2 (HR). AROD, Ajones, Biggio, & Collins combined 8-8 (despite no HRs).

LVP goes to Ordonez; 0-3, GIDP in series loss.
Don't blame.... Mays; 3-3, RBI in series loss. Robinson had 2 singles in his only 2 Abs.
BigHath vs Gantry
Game 1; Started out hot for BigHath, putting up 11 runs in the 1st inning. However, Gantry fought back and by the 3rd inning, was tied up at 17. Gantry then took a nap in the 3-4 innings putting up 0 runs. This was enough for BigHath to pile up some runs (capped by a 13 run 6th), and end it. Thome had a terrific game for BigHath; 7-7, 5HRs, 9 RBIs. Killebrew had a 3HR game, while Furcal had 3 triples and 2 doubles from the 9-spot.
Game 2; was close thru 5 innings (22-22). Then BigHath started increasing his lead every inning until finally finishing it in the bottom of the 8th with a Buhner walk-off HR. Thome stayed hot; 6-7, 3HRs, 5 RBIs. Greg Vaughn also had a good game; 5-6, 3HRs, 11 RBIs. Eddie Matthews had a 3HR game for Gantry in the loss.
Series MVP goes to Jim Thome, 13-14, 8HRs, 14 RBIs. Thome had such a huge series that he went from 16th in BA to 7th. He went from 56th in HRs and 58th in slugging to 26th & 28th respectfully.
LVP goes to DeShields; .500 BA; lowest in the series.
Don't blame...Eddie Matthews; 11-13, 5HRs, 2 2Bs, 3B, 13 RBIs in the series loss.
holy fuck sticks beefmaster kicked the fuck out of my team.
I loved the 2-run assault comment. Classic!
Week 12
Attezz vs Stock
Game 1; Despite a 2HR game from Ruth and Yount going 4-4, it still took Stock only 5 innings to put away Attezz. Griffey/Helton both had 2HR games for Stock.
Game 2; Stock had a horrible game. He could only put up 14 runs thru 7 innings; Griffey going 0-4 (GIDP) thru 7 innings didn't help. Attezz was able to stay in the game by default until Stock was finally able to put up a 7-spot in the 8th inning. Mo Vaughn had 3HRs.
Series MVP goes to Todd Helton; 9-11, 4HRs, 9 RBIs.
LVP goes to Lobert; only 2-8 with 1 RBI in the series loss.
Don't blame... Babe Ruth; 6-8, 3HRs, 6 RBIs in the series loss.
McLane vs Beefmaster
Game 1; McLane scored 2 runs in the 1st inning off a Mantle 2-run HR. Beef hit 6 HRs in the bottom of the 1st, capped by a Zernial solo walkoff HR.
Game 2; Let's just say there was no lack of offense. At 124 runs scored, I think this is the highest scoring game to date. For Beefmaster, Bonds was 9-10, 3HRs. Frank Robinson was 8-10, 4HRs. Stuart was 9-10, 5HRs (in a row). Hornsby had 3HRs (GS). For McLane, Alomar was 10-11, 2HRs. Ortiz was 10-11, 2HRs (GS). Palmer was 11-11, 4HRs, 3 2Bs. Gorman Thomas had 3HRs (GS). Beefmaster had a 61-59 lead going into the bottome of the ninth. McLane ended the game with a Palmer walkoff HR without even recording an out in the inning. Beefmaster scored 61 runs and lost.
Series MVP goes to Dean Palmer; 11-11, 4HRs, 10 RBIs.
LVP.. Goes to Campanella. Batted .455 (lowest in the series), and was the only player on either team without a HR. Considering he was the MVP of the previous series, his falloff may have cost Beefmaster the series sweep.
Nomaaa vs Rack
Game 1; Despite a 2nd inning grand slam from Bagwell (1-3 in the game), Rack was relatively cold. Nomaaa put up 14 runs in the top of the 4th, and that was enough to put Rack away as he could only put up 2 runs in the 3-4th innings. Manny went 5-5, 3HRs, 8 RBIs for Nomaaa.
Game 2; Rack remained somewhat cool, and put up doughnuts in the 4th & 5th innings. Nomaaa staid consistant and ended it in the bottom of the 5th with a Boone walkoff triple. Manny was 5-5, 2HRs, and Murphy was 5-5, 3 2Bs.
Series MVP goes to Manny Ramirez; 10-10, 5HRs, 12 RBIs in series sweep.
LVP goes to Ivan Rodriguez; 1-5, 0 HRs in series loss.
Don't blame.... Kiner; 7-8, 4HRs, 10 RBIs in series loss. Foxx went 8-8 (despite no HRs).
Ultimate vs Ryno
Game 1; All of Ryno's offense came from 2-run HRs from Will Clark and Gary Carter. However, Ultimate scored 19 runs in the 2nd inning alone. Kevin Mitchel was 3-3, 2HRs. McCovey was 4-4 (HR).
Game 2; Ultimate came to play again, scoring 9 & 10 runs in the first two innings. Despite a 3-3 game for Eric Davis and a 2HR game from Palmiero, Ryno could only put 12 runs on the board thru 3 innings. Ultimate quickly finished it in the bottom of the 3rd with 3 quick HRs from Soriano, McCovey, & Stargel. McCovey was 4-4, 3HRs. Hundley was 3-3, 2HRs.
Series MVP goes to McCovey; 8-8, 4HRs, 12 RBIs. Mitchel was 6-6, 3HRs, 6 RBIs.
LVP goes to Dawson; 1-3, 0 HRs, 0 RBIs in series loss.
Don't blame... Eric Davis; 5-5 (HR) from the leadoff spot in the series loss.
Fighton vs Shooty
Game 1; Fighton takes game 1 as Shooty can only put 7 runs up in 4 innings. Kent stole the show; 4-4, 3HRs. Brett was 3-3, HR, 2 3Bs. Pujols and Berra only had 2 hits each, but they were all HRs. Sosa and Parrish ended the first 2 innings for Shooty with DP balls.
Game 2; Shooty turned things around, putting up 18 runs in the first two innings. Greenberg was 3-3, 2HRs. Justice and Sosa both had 3-3 games as well for Shooty. Fighton was 2-8 (as a team) in 2 innings. Pujols had the only offense with a 2-run HR.
Series MVP goes to Hank Greenberg; 5-5, 4HRs, 11 RBIs. George Brett was 3-3 with a HR and 2 triples.
LVP goes to Lance Parrish; 1-5 (GIDP).
GDavis vs Nacho
Game 1; Gdavis came out of the gates hard and piled up a 25-9 lead going into the bottom of the 4th. Nacho was able to survive the storm as Biggio & AROD both hit grand slams in the bottom of the 4th. Nacho would eventually take the lead in the 6th inning after GDavis could only put up 1 run in the 5-6th innings. However, GDavis fought back and had a 1 run lead after the top of the ninth. With only needing 2 runs for the win, Nacho puts up a doughnut in the bottom half of the ninth. Aaron was 7-8, 5HRs, 9 RBIs in the win. ARod was 6-8, 4HRs (GS), 10 RBIs in the loss.
Game 1; Nacho puts up 13 runs in the first inning, led by Guererro/Biggio both going 2-2 (HR), and combining for 7 RBIs. DiMaggio, ARod, & Maris were also 2-2. GDavis had nothing but a 2-run HR from Fielder in the bottom half.

LVP goes to Honus Wagner; 2-9, 0 HRs, 0 RBIs in series split.

Game 1; was all AlecT. They put up 32 runs in 4 innings. Burks was 5-5, HR, 8 RBIs. Gehrig was 6-6 (HR), 3 RBIs. Ordonez had 4HRs. Rollins had 3 triples. Despite Ted Williams/Reggie Jackson combining 7-7 and a Dunn Grand Slam, Gantry could not supply enough offense.
Game 2; was a role reversal from game 1. Gantry put up 28 runs in 3 innings. Williams/Jackson combined 10-10 w/ a HR each. Dunn was 4-5 (3HRs), 7 RBIs. York was 4-4 (2HRs). Despite a 2-2 (2HR), 5 RBI game from Mays, AlecT did not get much more offense.
Series MVP goes to Adam Dunn; 7-9, 5HRs (GS), 14 RBIs. 3 Guys batted 1.000 in the series: Ted Williams (HR), Reggie Jackson (2HRs), and Gehrig (HR).
LVP goes to DeShields; 3-6, 0HRs in series split.
BigHath vs Weathermatt
Game 1; Was close all the way down to the wire. BigHath scored 13 runs in the 1st inning and Weathermatt scored 13 runs in the second inning to tie it up. It went back and forth and was tied again at 31 in the 7th inning. BigHath grew a 7 run lead going into the bottom of the 9th. Weathermatt's Kingman/Gonzalez/Deer hit HRs in the 9th, but still fell 2 runs short. Thome led the pack for BigHath; 8-8 (3HRs). Burkman/Killebrew also had 3HRs in the win. Kingman had a 4HR game for Weathermatt while Deer hit 3HRs.
Game 2; Weathermatt kept it close thru 2 innings thanks to a Sanders GS & a 2 HR game from Big Mac. However, after putting up 3 & 4 runs in the first 2 innings, BigHath put up 15 in the 3rd inning and that was enough to end it. Thome was 4-4 (2HRs). Burkman was 4-4 (HR), and Bobby Bonds had a GS in 1 of his 2 hits.
Series MVP goes to Thome; 12-12, 5HRs, 9 RBIs in series sweep.
LVP goes to Valentin; 4-9, 0 HRs, 0 RBIs.
Don't blame.... Kingman; 8-11, 5HRs, 10 RBIs in series loss.

Game 2; Let's just say there was no lack of offense. At 124 runs scored, I think this is the highest scoring game to date. For Beefmaster, Bonds was 9-10, 3HRs. Frank Robinson was 8-10, 4HRs. Stuart was 9-10, 5HRs (in a row). Hornsby had 3HRs (GS). For McLane, Alomar was 10-11, 2HRs. Ortiz was 10-11, 2HRs (GS). Palmer was 11-11, 4HRs, 3 2Bs. Gorman Thomas had 3HRs (GS). Beefmaster had a 61-59 lead going into the bottome of the ninth. McLane ended the game with a Palmer walkoff HR without even recording an out in the inning. Beefmaster scored 61 runs and lost.
fknawesome - I don't even feel bad about losing a game like this. How long did this game take you to play?

Keep mine the same.
Keep mine the same, except place whoever has a worse batting average between Wagner and Collins in the 9 hole, the other in the 8.

No Changes.
Currently, Wagner bats 8th with a .491 BA (2HRs).
Collins bats 9th with a .485 BA (0 HRs).
Week 13
McLane vs Attezz
Game 1; McLane was relatively cold, and after a 9-run 3rd inning for Attezz, he kept the lead all the way to the top of the 9th (23-24). McLane put up 5 runs in the top of the 9th on 4HRs. Attezz put up 0 in the bottom half. For McLane, Ortiz went 7-7 (5HRs) in the win.
Game 2; McLane quickly put up 13 & 9 runs in the 2nd/3rd innings, and finally put Attezz away in the 4th. Ortiz/Palmer were each 4-5, 2HRs, 5 RBIs. Frank Thomas was 5-5 (HR).
Game 3; It took McLane as many innings as in game 2 to put Attezz away. Mantle was 4-4 with 2 doubles. Ortiz had a GS despite only batting .500.
Series MVP goes to David Ortiz; 13-16, 8HRs (GS), 18 RBIs in series sweep.
LVP goes to Chance; 4-12, 0HRs, only 1 RBI in series loss.
Don't blame... Ruth; 10-14, 4HRs, 9 RBIs in series loss. Stahl batted .727 from the 9-spot.
Ultimate vs Nomaaa
Game 1; was all Ultimate, as Nomaaa could only put up 5 runs in 3 innings (Beltran 2-2 (HR). Ultimate scored more than 3 times that many runs. Banks was 3-3 (HR). Stargel and Hundley combined 6-6 despite 0 HRs.
Game 2; Ultimate went cold and was blanked in the 3-4th innings. Nomaaa put up 8 runs in the bottom of the 5th to end it; capped by a Fisk 3-run walk-off HR. Tejada was 4-4 (all singles), and Crawford was 4-4 (2B, 3B).
Game 3; Much like game 2; Ultimate was just cold (only 6 runs in 3 innings). Nomaaa ended it with a walk off double from Scheffield in the bottom of the 3rd. Scheffield/Beltran/Murphy combined 10-10 (despite no HRs). Manny & Boone homered and Crawford had two triples.
Series MVP goes to Beltran; 9-10, 2HRs, 3B, 2B, 5 RBIs. Manny led with 9 RBIs on 2HRs.
LVP goes to Mondesi; Despite a HR, only batted .250 in the series.
Don't blame... Stargel; 8-9 (2HRs, 2 2Bs, 7 RBIs) in the series loss.
GDavis vs Fighton
Game 1; You could tell was going to be high scoring from the get go when Gdavis put up 7 & 8 runs in the first 2 innings. However, by the end of the 5th inning, Fighton had a 2 run lead. Then Gdavis really turned it on, scoring 9 runs in the 6th, and 15 runs in the 7th inning. Fighton could no longer keep pace and Garciaparra popped out to end the game (after going 7-7 (2HRs) in his previous ABs). Pujols also had a GS in the losing effort (not helped by him starting the game 2-5 (GIDP)). Aaron, Canseco, Fielder, and Posada had multi-HR games. Cruz was 7-8 (3 3Bs), from the 9 spot.
Game 2; Another high scoring affair, but this one would go to the 9th inning. GDavis had a 47-45 lead going into the bottom of the ninth. Delgado was 8-9 (4HRs). Aaron/Horner had 3HRs each. Cruz had 3 more triples. However, Fighton put up the three needed runs in the bottom capped off by a Garciaparra walk-off HR. Pujols was 9-9 (2HRs). Aramis Ramirez had 3 HRs (GS). Brett was 8-9 (3HRs) from the 9-spot.
Game 3; started out with a bang with Gdavis putting up 13 runs in the top of the first. Only problem was, Fighton answered right back with 13 runs in the bottom half. He added another 13-run inning in the 3rd. Eventually Fighton put him away in the 4th. Garciaparra went 6-6 (HR). Howard; 5-5 (2HRs). Berra; 5-6 (2HRs (GS)).
Series MVP goes to Nomar Garciaparra; 20-24 (7HRs, 3 2Bs, 15 RBIs).
LVP goes to Sauer; Team low in the series with .522 BA, 0 HRs, 3 RBIs.
Don't blame... Horner; 18-22 (6HRs, 5 2Bs, 21 RBIs) in Series loss. Aaron/Delgado each had 6HRs as well. Cruz had 7 triples in the series.
BigHath vs AlecTrevylan
Game 1; AlecT started out strong, putting up 11 runs in the first two innings, led by a Robinson hitting HRs in his first 2 Abs (GS). AlecT put up 9 more runs in the 5th, and BigHath was struggling to put up bunches of runs in every inning. AlecTrevylan finally ended it in the 8th. Glaus did not dissappoint in his new leadoff role (7-7, 2HRs, 2 2Bs), with a win over the team with the best record in the league. Bench was 6-6 (HR) for AlecT, while Buhner laid an egg for BigHath (0-6).
Game 2; AlecTrevylan does it again! BigHath could only put up 13 runs in 4 innings, despite a 3-3 (3HR) game from Killebrew. AlecT ends it in the 4th with a Lou Gehrig walkoff 3-run HR. Ordonez was 4-4 (HR, 6 RBIs). Glaus continues to do well from the leadoff spot; 4-5 (HR). Dickey/Furcal combined 0-6 for BigHath.
Game 3; AlecTrevylan did it! They pulled off the sweep at home against first place BigHath. It may be too little too late for AlecT, but he definitely played spoiler. Both Gdavis and Fighton all of a sudden have a chance at winning that division. AlecT put up 16 runs in the bottom of the second inning. Glaus/Bench/Robinson/Ichiro/Rollins combined 11-11 (0 HRs). Gehrig had 2HRs and Mays had the HR to win the game.
Series MVP goes to Troy Glaus; 14-15, 3HRs, 4 2Bs, 8 RBIs. Glaus is batting .933 as a leadoff hitter. Bench also had a good series, batting .917.
LVP goes to Furcal; 2-9, 0 HRs.
Don't blame... Killebrew; 10-11, 4HRs, 9 RBIs in series loss.
Rack vs Beefmaster
Game 1; Rack pulls off in 5 innings as Beef can only put 13 runs up in 5 innings. Kiner had 4HRs and 7 RBIs in 5 ABs. Klein was 5-5 (all singles).
Game 2; Beef started out horribly, getting shut out the first 2 innings. Things looked bleek for Beef as Rack rung up a 13-0 lead into the bottom of the 3rd. Beef battled back with 8 runs and kept in the game. Rack responded promptly with 11 more runs in the top half of the 4th, and that was too much for Beef - getting shut out again in the 4th. Klein was 4-4, 3HRs (GS), 2B, 7 RBIs. Belle added 2HRs. Stuart/Stevenson combined 0-5 in the loss.
Game 3; Rack starts out the first inning with the first doughnut in the series. Beef takes immediate advantage of the slip and puts up 10 runs in the bottom half to end it. Campanella records the only out of the inning. Allen, Frank Robinson, & Zernial hit HRs. Bonds ends the game with a walkoff triple.
Series MVP goes to Klein; 9-9, 3HRs (GS), 7 RBIs. Kiner led the team in HRs & RBIs with 6 & 11 respectfully.
LVP goes to Campanella; 1-6 (0 HRs) in the series loss.
Don't blame... Bonds; 8-9, 2HRs, 3 2Bs, 3B in series loss.
Stock vs Ryno
Game 1; Stock just outhit Ryno. The 5th & 6th innings where stock scored 7 & 14 runs were too much. Ryno actually did not bat that poorly. The 3 GIDPs killed them. For Stock, Ott was 7-7, 2HRs, 3 2Bs. Walker was 6-7 (3HRs, 10 RBIs).
Game 2; Ryno looked like the better team, until Stock turned it around by putting up 14 runs in the top of the 7th. Stock still held a 39-36 lead thru the top of the 9th inning. Ryno choked and could not score a single run in the bottom half. Griffey was 6-7 (3HRs). Helton was 7-8 (4 2Bs).
Game 3; Stock goes down to the wire to complete the sweep. Ott/Griffey smash 3HRs each, and Joe Morgan hits 5 doubles. Henderson hits 2 singles, 2 doubles, & 2 triples.
Series MVP goes to Mel Ott; 21-25; 6HRs, 7 2Bs, 17 RBIs.
LVP goes to Cal Ripken Jr; 9-19 (lowest BA in series); GIDP. Ryno's 3-4 batters combining for only a .538 BA didn't help things either.
Don't blame... Jim Rice; 14-19, 4HRs; 12 RBIs.
Gantry vs Nacho
Game 1; Gantry started out on fire, building a 24-2 lead thru the top of the 3rd. Nacho survives after putting up 14 runs in the bottom of the 3rd. After 4 innings, Nacho is only 1 run away from tying the game (led by a DiMaggio GS). Nacho will take a 45-40 lead after 6 innings. Gantry manages to get back in front in the top of the 9th (49-48), but is short lived as Nacho quickly puts of 2 runs in the bottom half. Guererro stole the show; 10-10 (4HRs, 2 2Bs, 7 RBIs). AROD had 4HRs, and Ted Williams had 3HRs (GS). Despite the loss, Ted Williams had 4HRs, and York went 8-9 (2HRs, 7 RBIs). Giambi's 2 GIDPs could have cost Gantry the win.
Game 2; didn't take nearly as long. Gantry came back with avengence, putting up 14 runs in the top of the 1st inning. Nacho could only come up with 1 run in the bottom half before Andruw ended it for Nacho w/ a GIDP. For Gantry, Dunn/Mathews/Mize/Johnson were each 2-2 (HR).
Game 3; took a while but Gantry heated up in the 4-5 innings, scoring 15 & 11. Nacho couldn't recover like he did in game 1. Mize was 6-6 (HR, 7 RBIs). Mathews was 6-6 (HR, 3 RBIs). York stays hot; 3-4 (HR, 6 RBIs, Sac fly). DeShields had 3 triples. Musial/DiMaggio were both 5-5 (HR) in the losing effort. Gantry splits the season series with first place Nacho.
Series MVP goes to Ted Williams; led the team in HRs and RBIs with 7 & 17 in the series. Dunn was 15-18, 5HRs, 12 RBIs.
LVP goes to Collins. Despite not the most horrible series; .(583 BA) he was the only player on either team to not slug over 1.000.
Don't blame... DiMaggio; 12-16, 5HRs (GS), 12 RBIs in the series loss.
Shooty vs Weathermatt
Game 1; Shooty won by just being consistent, and extending the lead by a run or 2 every inning. Sexson was 7-8 (3HRs, 2 2Bs, 7 RBIs). Edmonds was 7-8 (2HRs, 6 RBIs). Matt Williams & Sosa each had 2HRs.
Game 2; not the most offensive 9 inning game I have ever played. Kingman had a big game for Weathermatt with 3HRs (GS, 8 RBIs). Greenberg had a 2HR (GS) game for Shooty. In the end, it was tied going into the bottom of the ninth, and Joe Carter ended it with a walk-off HR with no outs.
Game 3; For Weathermatt; Kingman, Gonzalez, & Batista combined 0-6 in an effort to put up just 4 runs in 3 innings. Shooty took advantage of the chill. Edmonds was 4-4 (HR). Justice was 3-3 (HR).
Series MVP goes to Edmonds; 17-20 (5HRs, 5 2Bs, 15 RBIs).
LVP goes to Tony Batista; 5-15 in Series loss.
Don't blame... Javy Lopez; 11-15 (2HRs, 3 2Bs) in series loss.

Dammit... I can't afford to be losing series at this point in the season, especially to Rack's team.
Ouch, fell apart after that first game, bring it mclame

Latch on. You just got swept by a little league team

50-49, what a game between Nacho and myself. I'm disappointed I couldn't put up one more run to get us in the century mark. Any game go triple digits for combined runs yet?

Week 14
Attezz vs Gantry
Game 1; Attezz came out the gate hot in the 1st inning and took an early lead. He would keep the lead until Gantry would go up 24-25 in the 8th inning via a Mize GS. Attezz up 2 more runs up in the top of the ninth, but wasn't enough to put Gantry away. Reggie had a great game; 7-7 (2HRs). HoJo added 3HRs.
Game 2; Attezz jumps out to a 16-9 lead after 2 innings, and to a 21-16 lead after 3. Attezz would hold the lead until Gantry would tie it at 33 in the 7th inning. Attezz would put up 12 runs in the bottom of the 8th giving him a 39-45 lead going into the top of the 9th inning. Gantry would fall run run short, and Attezz would not even need to bat in the 9th. Ruth hit 4HRs (10 RBIs). Lobert hit 3 triples. And Chance will celebrate the victory after a 6-8 game (1st HR of the season). Ted Williams and Giambi would both hit 4HRs in the losing effort.
Series MVP goes to Babe Ruth; 14-17 (5HRs, 2 2Bs, 16 RBIs). Samuel was also 14-17 with 2HRs, 7RBIs.
LVP goes to Stahl and York. Staul batted .429, 0HRs, 5 RBIs. York batted .429, 2HRs, 2 RBIs, GIDP.
McLane vs Weathermatt
Game 1; both teams started out hot scoring 10 & 6 runs in the 1st inning. McLane was even hotter in the 2nd inning; putting up 16 runs. Weathermatt also had a better 2nd inning (10 runs), but that still wasn't enough to hang in the game. For McLane, Palmer was 4-4 (2HRs). Thomas/Mantle each were 4-4 (HR). Uribe was 3-3 (HR), and Alomar was 4-4 (2B). Despite the loss, Rob Deer was spectacular in 2 ABs with 2HRs (GS) and 7 RBIs.
Game 2; McLane scores 10 runs in the 1st inning (3rd straight inning with double digit runs), and with 4 runs total in the the first two innings for Weathermatt, McLane puts it away in the second via a walkoff 3-run HR from Alomar. Thomas and Palmer were both 2-2 (HR), with Palmer's HR a GS.
Series MVP goes to Dean Palmer; 6-6, 3HRs (GS), 2B, 7 RBIs. Frank Thomas also had a great series; 6-6, 2HRs, 6 RBIs.
LVP goes to Juan Gonzalez; 1-5, 0 RBIs, GIDP in the series loss.
Don't blame... Rob Deer; 3-3, 2HRs (GS), 7 RBIs in the series loss. Joe Carter and Javy Lopez combined 8-8 with a HR each in the series loss.
Nomaaa vs Shooty
Game 1; Nomaaa scored 12 runs in the 3rd inning, but Shooty was able to hang in there 15-6. Shooty is on the ropes again in the 4th after Nomaaa puts up 7 more runs, but he responds with 10 runs of his own. By the bottom of the 6th, Shooty would have it tied up. Then Nomaa has a big 8th inning (7 runs) that would put him up by 4 going into the top of the 9th. Shooty wouldn't score any more runs in the game. Fisk was 7-8 (3HRs, 3 2Bs, 6 RBIs).
Game 2; 8 runs through 3 innings was not enough for Shooty as Nomaaa would score 6-4-9 in the first 3 innings. Scheffield was 3-4 (3HRs, 5 RBIs). Ramirez/Murphy were each 3-3 (HR). For Shooty, Sexson was 2-2 (2HRs) in the loss.
Series MVP goes to Sheffield; 9-12 (3HRs, 3 2Bs, 11 RBIs).
LVP goes to Matt Williams; 6-12, 0HRs, GIDP from the leadoff spot in the series loss.
Don't blame... Dave Justice; 9-10 (HR), in the series loss.
Ultimate vs Nacho
Game 1; Ultimate came out the gate scoring 11 in the 1st inning. Nacho followed with 6 runs to keep the game in reach. Nacho had it tied up after 2 innings, and went crazy in the 3rd (17 runs), led by 2 GSs from AROD (who walked off to end the game. Musial/Maris were both 4-4 with a HR each. Collins was 4-4 (singles). Vlad was 4-4 (2 2Bs).
Game 2; Stayed closer for a little longer. It was Ultimate's 10-run 7th inning that finally ended it. Banks/Mondesi combined 14-14 w/ a HR each. Soriano, Stargel, & Mitchel had 2HRs each. For Nacho, Arod was 6-6 (HR, 4 2Bs) in the losing effort.
Series MVP, I am going to give to Roger Maris, 9-10, 3HRs, 16 RBIs.
LVP goes to Wagner; 3-9, 0HRs in series split.
Fighton vs Rack
Game 1; Kent & Howard both had 2HRs in the 1st inning to lead the 16-0 massacre in one inning. Rack topped the game off nicely with a Foxx GIDP.
Game 2; Rack finally went 9 innings, but it was the same result. Rack fell 2 runs short in the top of the 9th, and Fighton never had to bat. Howard & Hack Wilson each had 2HRs. Despite the loss, Chipper Jones was 6-7 (3HRs). Rack has now lost 3 games in a row. Could his 1st place lead be slipping away?
Series MVP goes to Hack Wilson ; 7-8, 3HRs, 10 RBIs in series win. Despite only batting .667, Howard had 4HRs & 10 RBIs.
LVP goes to Kiner; 2-7, 0HRs, 0 RBIs in series loss. Jeter batting .250 from the leadoff spot did not help matters either.
Don't blame... Chipper Jones; 6-7, 3HRs, 6 RBIs in the series loss.
GDavis vs Ryno
Game 1; Gdavis took the lead early. Ryno was on the ropes after a Gdavis put up 9 more runs in the top of the 5th. Ryno followed with a 15 run bottom half (led by a Gary Carter GS), to keep the game going. Ryno would then put up 11 runs in the 8th inning to work a 6 run lead. GDavis would respond right back with an 11 run top of the 9th. However, GDavis does not let up, and Ripken (despite a 2 GIDP game) hits a 3-run HR with 2 outs to tie the game. We will have extra innings tied at 41 a piece. GDavis puts up 7 runs in the top half of the 10th. Ripken hits a 3-run HR for the second inning in a row, but Ryno still falls 1 run short. This is the first extra inning game we have had this season.
Game 2; Both teams scored 12 runs in the 2nd inning. Although, Gdavis was scoring runs, Ryno had him outscored 9-1 & 8-0 in the 3rd and 8th innings. Gary Carter (despite going only 2-7) had a GS for the second game in a row. Eric Davis was a perfect 9-9 (HR, 3B). Dawson had 4HRs. Delgado was 7-7 (2HRs) in the losing effort.
Series MVP goes to Andre Dawson; 13-18 (8HRs, 16 RBIs) in series split. Despite 2 GIDPs, Ripken still managed to lead both teams, batting .813 (4HRs, 16 RBIs).
LVP goes to Cruz; 5-15, 0 HRs.
AlecTrevylan vs Stock
Game 1; AlecT was pretty cold; scoring only 4 runs in 4 innings. Stock took advantage and ended it early. Fryman was 3-3 (double, triple, walk-off HR).
Game 2; Stock scored early and often (16 runs in 2 innings). This would be too much for AlecT. For Stock, Ott was 3-3 (2HRs). Piazza was 3-3 (GS). Mo Vaughn was 3-3 (HR). This is 7 wins in a row for Stock, who is now in serious playoff contention.
Series MVP goes to Mel Ott; 5-6 (3HRs, 7 RBIs). Piazza also had 7 RBIs and a GS. Despite only 1 HR & RBI, Mo Vaughn was 6-6.
LVP goes to Burks; 1-4, 0 RBIs, GIDP.
Don't blame... Glaus; 4-5, 2HRs in the series loss. Despite no RBIs, Bench was 3-3. Since AlecT switched his line up and (questionably on my part) put Glaus in the leadoff spot, he has been on fire; 18-20 (.900 BA) with 5HRs, 4 2Bs, and 10 RBIs.
BigHath vs Beefmaster
Game 1; BigHath gets 1 run in the 1st inning off a leadoff HR from Bobby Bonds. Beefmaster takes advantage immediately and caps off the 12-run bottom half with a 3-run walk off HR from Stuart. Frank Robinson and Barry Bonds also had 3 RBIs each in the first inning.
Game 2; Beefmaster scored 12 runs in the 3rd and 20 runs in the 8th inning. However, BigHath was able to hang in there until the 9th, where he would eventually fall short. For Beefmaster, Bonds was 8-9 (2HRs, 7 RBIs). Campanella was 8-9 (5HRs, 11 RBIs). Killebrew had 3HRs for BigHath in the loss. BigHath has now lost 5 games in a row, and remarkebly still has a small lead in the division.
God I suck...
Quote from: Stock on 02/13/08, 05:51:42 PM
If the stats are correct, I am going to go with Division winners:
Ultimate (above average power; average speed)
Fighton (has the most power in a weak division. No wild card comes from this division)
Beefmaster (Maybe the best team overall. Best power/contact combo. Not the worst speed.)
Weathermatt (Highest in terms of average raw power)
Wild Cards:
Rack (The Foxx trade will squeak him into the playoffs. Good balance of power/speed)
Gantry (Most consistent team. Average or better in Power, Speed, & Contact)
Not sure why your team sucks so bad Gantry. My pre-season predictions were for you to make the playoffs.
I also have seemed to be right about Beefmaster's team (at least stat wise he leads in R/AB, BA, and Slugging).
Everyone is on notice.
how did i go from 2nd to 3rd when i won both games?

Not sure. Do you still have the last file I posted?
I just added up the wins for your division, and everything looks right.
okay, it's fine. i'm a game back so whatever.
Can I change everyone on my team immediately?
Week 15
Attezz vs Weathermatt
Game 1; Attezz was cold as usual with only 2 runs scored in 3 innings. Weathermatt needed 4 runs in the bottom of the 3rd to end it, and did it quickly with 4 straight HRs (Sanders, Carter, McGwire (2), & Kingman).
Game 2; Weathermatt consistently scored runs and put it away in the 4th inning. Gonzalez was the star of the 3rd inning; two 3-run HRs. Javy Lopez was the star of the 4th inning (GS). McGwire & Valentin were each 4-4 (HR).
Series MVP goes to McGwire; 7-7, 3HRs, 6 RBIs.
LVP goes to Ty Cobb; 1-5, 0 RBIs from the leadoff spot in the series loss.
Don't blame... Lobert; 4-4 (3 doubles, triple).
McLane vs Shooty
Game 1; was close early and was tied at 26 after 6 innings. However, Shooty capped off a 14-run 7th inning with an Edmonds walk-off grand slam. Sexson also had a great game for Shooty; 7-7 (3HRs, 7 RBIs). In the losing effort, Ortiz, FrThomas (GS), GoThomas, Colvalito, & Uribe had 2HRs a piece for McLane.
Game 2; was a dead heat until McLane started to pull away a bit in the 7th inning. Then Mantle capped off the bottom of the 8th (10-run inning) with a walk-off GS. Mantle was 7-8 (5HRs, 9 RBIs). Ortiz also had 5HRs, and Frank Thomas had 3HRs.
Series MVP goes to Mickey Mantle (.929 BA, 6HRs, 11 RBIs). Sexson & Parrish also batted .929 in the series with 5 & 3 HRs respectfully. Despite only batting .667, David Ortiz had 7HRs & 14 RBIs in the series.
LVP goes to Uribe; lowest BA in the series (.417).
Nomaaa vs Nacho
Game 1; was all Nomaaa and he got better as the game went on. 3-6-9-18 runs in the first 4 innings. Nacho could only score 10 runs total. Beltran was 6-6 (2 2Bs). Boone was 6-6 (HR). Murphy had 3HRs, and Ramirez had 2HRs (8 RBIs.).
Game 2; Nacho would get his revenge. Nomaaa would only score 3 runs in 2 innings, and Nacho would take full advantage. Andruw Jones was 3-3 (2HRs, 5 RBIs).
Series MVP goes to Brett Boone; 7-7 (2HRs, 6 RBIs). Ramirez lead the series with 8 RBIs, and Murphy led the series with 3HRs.

Actually, you have won 6 games in a row and now have the 2nd best record in the entire league.
The file that is attached has the correct data in it.
For some reason, the macro I am using to past the standings (formatted), has switched you and GDavis around.
I am at work right now, but will fix when I get home.

3 weeks left.
Or 2 games left against other divisions, and 6 games left within your division.

LVP goes to Chipper Jones; 0-2 (0 RBIs).

BigHath finally gets blanked in the top of the 9th inning, and would need to nurse a 1 run lead going into the bottom of the 9th.

Some team notes going into the last 2 weeks of the season (6 divisional games).
Ruth Division
Attezz is out of it (has been for a long time now). McLane is in 1st place, but the top 3 teams controll their own destiny as Ultimate and Nomaaa each get a 3-game series against McLane and Attezz.
Pujols Divsion
AlecTrevylan is out of it despite winning 6 of the last 9 games.
BigHath is in 1st place with 23 wins (1 more than Fighton). As long as both don't fall apart, a wild card winner should come from this division. GDavis could still win it with a 3 game series against BigHath, and a season ending series against last place AlecTrevylan.
Bonds Division
Stock has gone crazy, winning 11 of the last 12 games, and now has a 1 game lead over Beefmaster. Rack has fallen apart (losing 7 in a row) and is now in 3rd place. After being in first place for the majority of the season he will have to be on fire in the remaining 6 games just to get into the playoffs. Stock & Beefmaster will end the season with a 3 game series against eachother which will likely decide a playoff birth. Ryno is mathematically, but has a chance to spoil Rack's chance at a playoff birth with a 3 game series to end the season. Remember, Rack had that big trade (Foxx/Molitor for Palmiero/Will Clark) with Ryno.
ARod Division
This division could not be any closer (or weak). Only 1 game separates 1st place from 4th place. No team really has an advantage here, but only 1 team from this division will make the playoffs. Weathermatt & Gantry are only at .500 and both have a real chance at winning the division. Gantry will end the season with a 3 game series against Weathermatt, and Nacho against Shooty.
This league is a sham. Rack loses 7 in a row. Stock, the person playing the games, wins 11/12 and Beef hasn't lost a series...in forever.
I quit.
I've been out in front all season. Hopefully my team comes through.
WATCH OUT BITCHES!!!
fuck you gant. i was on a fucking roll and now look at me.

Yearbook that, Nacho!
Week 17
Nomaaa vs Attezz
Game 1; Attezz jumps out to a 3-7 lead after 2 innings, led by a Ruth GS. Nomaaa responds with a 9-run top of the 3rd. Attezz would put up a 14-run bottom of the 4th to take a 6 run lead. Nomaaa would put up an incredible 17 runs in the top of the 7th inning, led by 2 3-run HRs from Ramirez. Attezz would not stay alive this time. Ramirez was 8-8 (3HRs, 8 RBIs). Sheffield/McGriff had 3HRs each. In the losing effort, Babe Ruth was 6-7 (3HRs, 3 doubles, 12 RBIs, last out of game).
Game 2; Nomaaa is lucky he was playing Attezz, since not many other teams could you only score 13 runs thu 7 innings, and still not be down (tie game). However, the dead offense would catch up with him in the 8th inning as Attezz puts up 11 runs and ends it with an exciting walk-off sac fly from Coleman. Cobb was 7-7 (HR, 2 triples, 7 RBIs) in the win. Konerko had 2HRs. Ramirez and Boone each had a pair of HRs in the losing effort.
Game 3; Didn't have a lot of action, but Nomaaa kept extending the lead bit by bit to finally end it in the 6th. Sheffield, Beltran, & Fisk had 2HRs each in the win. McGriff was 6-6 (2 doubles). Crawford hit for the cycle in his first 4 ABs of the game.
Series MVP goes to Fred McGriff; 16-19 (4HRs, 4 doubles, 12 RBIs). Despite a lower BA, Sheffield & Ramirez had 15 RBIs on 5HRs (each).
LVP goes to Chance; batted only .375 (0HRs, 1 RBI) in 3 games.
Don't blame... Babe Ruth; 14-18, 5HRs (GS), 6 doubles, 21 RBIs in the series loss.
Ultimate vs McLane
Game 1; Ultimate laid an egg in the first inning, and McLane took no time to put 10 runs on the board in the bottom half. Ortiz was 2-2 (HR, Double, 2 RBIs).
Game 2; was quite a turn-a-round for Ultimate. A 6-run first inning was good, but his 17-run 3rd inning was even better. Ultimate had a 24-7 lead going into the bottom of the 3rd, and Mclane could only put 6 more runs on the board. For Ultimate, Strawberry hit for the cycle in 4 ABs. McCovey, Stargle, and Banks had 2HRs each. David Ortiz was 3-3 (3HRs) in the losing effort, while Mantle extended his hit streak to 18 ABs, going 3-3 (HR).
Game 3; McLane was just cold again, scoring only 5 runs in 3 innings. Ultimate consistently put up good innings, 4, 5, & 8 runs. Strawberry was 3-3 (2HRs). In the loss, Mantle extended his hit streak to 20 ABs, going 2-2 (HR).
Series MVP goes to; Strawberry; 7-8 (3HRs, double, triple, 10 RBIs) in the series win.
LVP goes to Frank Thomas; only 4-7 (0HRs, 1 RBI) from the 3-spot in the lineup. You expect a lot more from him.
Don't blame... David Ortiz; 7-7 (5HRs, 6 RBIs) in the losing effort. Mantle also batted 1.000 (7-7, 2HRs).
AlecTrevylan vs Fighton
Game 1; not team could really take a big lead. AlecT put up 15 runs in the 4th, but the game was still tied at 25 after 6 innings. Fighton would take a small 28-25 lead after 8 innings. AlecT was only able to tie it in the top of the ninth, but Fighton chokes and cannot come up with a single run. Extra innings..... AlecT puts an honest 4 runs on the board in the top of the 10th. However, Fighton puts up 5 runs; led by a Kent 2-run double. Wilson & Brett (8 & 9 batters) led the team with 2HRs each in the win.
Game 2; Another relatively low scoring game that would go the distance. However, Fighton would not need to bat in the 9th inning. Hack Wilson carried Fighton; 6-6 (2HRs) from the 8-spot in the line-up. Lou Gehrig was 7-7 (4HRs, 8 RBIs) in the losing effort.
Game 3; Almost identical to game 2 (a relatively low scoring game going the distance). Fighton would not need to bat in the 9th inning. For AlecT, Robinson and Rollins combined just 2-13 (2 RBIs). Also, Mays had a chance to keep a big rally going in the top of the 8th inning, but instead GIDP to end the inning with the bases loaded. O'Doul was the hero of game 3; 7-7 (2HRs, 6 RBIs). Berra, Howard, & Wilson also had 2HRs each. Fighton got the sweep, but it was by no means impressive. In fact, the offense seemed fairly weak and inconsistent coming from the team with the best record in the league. Fighton will have 1 more week to get their shit together before the playoffs start.
Series MVP goes to Hack Wilson; 16-21 (6HRs, 4 doubles, 19 RBIs) in the series sweep. O'Doul batted .810 (4HRs, 11 RBIs).
LVP goes to Rollins; 5-19 (0HRs) in series loss.
Don't blame... Lou Gehrig; 19-23 (8HRs) 21 RBIs in the losing effort.
BigHath vs GDavis
Game 1; GDavis started out hot, led by a Fielder GS. However, BigHath outscored Gdavis 17-0 in the 4th inning to avoid the slaughter rule. Hath then outscored Gdavis 15-5 in the 5th inning to win by slaughter rule himself. Killebrew had a GS for BigHath. Thome had 3HRs, and Burkman was 7-7 (2HRs) in the win. Hank Aaron and Cecil Fielder combined 10-10 (3HRs, 11 RBIs) in the losing effort for GDavis.

Game 3; BigHath comes out the gate scoring 10 runs in the 1st. Gdavis responds with half as many in the bottom half to stay alive. BigHath would score 6 more in the 2nd inning. In the bottom half with 1 run already on the board, Posada comes to the plate with the bases loaded. GIDP to end the inning and the game.

Stuart, Conigliaro, and Stephens had 2HRs each in the 6 inning victory.

Nacho would put up 0 runs in the 6-8th innings, and Weathermatt would take a 30-24 lead into the 9th. 1 run a piece in the 9th inning and Nacho goes down in game 1. Gonzalez, Lopez, & Batista had 2HR games.
Game 2; Nacho jumps out to a 2-10 lead in the 1st inning, led by a DiMaggio GS. Nacho would go relatively cold over the next 4 innings, and his lead would be reduced to 1 run after 5. However, then Weathematt would go cold, and Nacho would extend the lead every inning out. Finally ends it in 8th with a Vlad walk-off HR.
Game 3; Weathermatt batted around in the first two innings, while Nacho could only come up with 3 runs. McGwire, Kingman, Lopez, & Batista each had a HR in the 2-inning game.
Series MVP goes to Javy Lopez with 5HRs and 11 RBIs.
LVP goes to Collins; only 3-11 (0HRs) in the series loss.
Don't blame... Guererro; 10-14 (4HRs, 6 RBIs).
Shooty vs Gantry
Game 1; Shooty found his team down by 1 run after 6 innings. However, (led by an Edmonds' GS) put up 15 runs in the top of the 7th. York helps Gantry (barely) hang in the game with a 5 run bottom half of the inning. Shooty keeps the pedal to the medal, and ends it 1 inning later 44-32. Sexson was 7-9 (3HRs (GS), 10 RBIs). Sosa & Matt Williams had 2HRs each.
Game 2; Gantry was much more consistent, and didn't put up any doughnuts for Shooty to take advantage of. Gantry's line by inning; 7-3-4-7-4-8. Besides a 3rd inning grandslam by Sexson (second game in a row) and a 3HR game from Greensberg, the rest of the team was very cold, and falls in 6 innings. For Gantry, Giambi was 6-6, 2HRs (GS), 10 RBIs. Matthews was 6-6 (HR). Jackson was 6-7 (2HRs, walkoff 2 RBI single).
Game 3; Gantry jumps out to a 5-8 lead after 1 inning, led by a 3-run HR from DeShields (1st HR of season). Shooty fires back with a 12-run top of the 2nd (led by a Sosa GS). Then Shooty puts up 11 more runs in the 3rd inning. However, Gantry responds with an insane 22 runs in the bottom of the 3rd inning and takes a 28-33 lead. Both teams fell flat, putting up 0 runs in the 4th. Gantry outscores Shooty 6-12 in the 5th inning, capped by a walk-off 3-run HR from HoJo. Giambi was 7-7 (3HRs, 6 RBIs). Dunn/Matthews/York each had 2HRs in the win. For Shooty, Sosa was 6-6 (GS). Edomonds/Parish combined 12-12 (HR each) in the losing effort.
Series MVP goes to Giambi; 17-20, 6HRs (GS), 2 2Bs, 20 RBIs. Eddie Matthews batted .900 (4HRs, 12 RBIs). Dunn/Mize had 5HRs each.
LVP goes to Taverez. Despite 9 RBIs, he had 0 HRs and had the lowest BA on the team .471. Had to give out "LVP" to someone.
Don't blame... Sexson; 14-20, 7HRs (2 GS), 20 RBIs in the series loss. Parrish led the team with a .789 BA. Greenberg also had 7 HRs.
"Ruth Division"
McLane holds onto a 1 game lead over Ultimate after losing his series 2-1.
Everyone but Attezz could still win the division going into the last week of play.
Ultimate may be in the best position as he gets to face Attezz in the last series of the season.
Nomaaa will need a sweep over first place McLane for a chance to go to the playoffs.
"Pujols Division"
Fighton gets the series sweep to move him into a tie for 1st place with BigHath.
GDavis is now eliminated (along with AlecT) from playoff contention.
BigHath and Fighton will get to break the tie in a 3 game series to end the season. However, it is pretty probable that both teams will make the playoffs either way. They could really be playing for a 1st week bye.
"Bonds Division"
After being the best offensive team most of the season, Beefmaster finally moves into 1st place (for the first time) with his 2-1 series win over Ryno. Rack puts his 7 game losing streak to a screeching halt with a 3-game sweep of Stock, putting him only 1 game behind Beef for 1st place.
Rack will play (last place) Ryno, and Beefmaster will play Stock in the last series of the season.
"AROD Division"
Don't know what else to say. This Divsion is at an absolute lock with each team having 20 wins. This division is so tight, I had a hard time even deciphering the tie breakers. I think (but am not positive) that Weathermatt wins the tiebreakers for 1st place currently, as he wins the head to head against Gantry, and every other team is split in the head-to-head column.
Only 1 team will go to the playoffs from this division and is completely up in the air.
Gantry will face off against Weathermatt, and Shooty against Nacho in the last series of the season.
AROD division: Amazing race.
going 2-1 vs. attez.
i don't deserve to win.
ultimate really stuck it to me.
Way to get on the board Delino!
Jesus H.
I really needed that 2 of 3, huge after losing game 1

Greg Vaughn ends the game for BigHath with his 2nd GIDP in last 2 ABs.

Game 3; was closer. Both teams scored 3 & 8 runs in the first 2 innings. Then AlecT took the 3rd inning, 3-2 for a 1 run lead. AlecT has a huge 4th inning, scoring 15 runs, but GDavis responds with 13 runs in the bottom half to stay in the game. AlecT would only score 1 run the next 2 innings, and GDavis would take advantage, jumping out to a 7 run lead after 6 innings. GDavis would finally end it in the 7th by a 32-42 margin. Fielder carried the team; 8-8 (3HRs, 4 doubles, 9 RBIs). In the losing effort, Ordonez hit 5HRs, Mays hit 4HRs, and Glaus hit 3HRs.

Don't blame Maglio Ordonez; 11-12 (8HRs, 13 RBIs) in the series loss.

With already a big league, Stock puts up 13 more runs in the top of the 8th, to carry a 44-22 lead into the bottom half of the inning. After scoring only 1 run in the bottom of the 8th, Campanela GIDP to end the inning and the game. For Stock, Piazza was 7-8 (3HRs, 9 RBIs). Ott/Griffey/Helton/Mo Vaughn also had a multi HR game.

Rack would take a 3 run lead after 6 innings. After Rack ending back-to-back innings with GIDPs, Ryno would regain a 4 run lead after 8 innings. Ryno would go down in order with no insurance runs in the 9th. It wouldn't matter as Rack gets blanked as well in the 9th.
Game 2; Rack scores 9 runs in the bottom of the 3rd. However, it was too little too late as he was down 20-1 going into that inning. Schmidt was 4-4 (GS, 5 RBIs). Eric Davis/Ripken combined 7-7 (HR each).
Game 3; Rack gets blanked the first 2 innings and finds his team in a quick 10-0 hole going into the bottom of the 3rd. Rack gets 8 runs in the 3rd (led by a Bagwell GS) and survives the early scare. Bagwell hits another GS in the 5th inning, and Rack takes a 2 run lead. It would remain close and be tied at 23 after 7 innings. The game would be tied at 32 going into the bottom of the 9th.

LVP goes to Taveras; 2-8 (0HRs).
Don't blame... Sosa; 9-10 (3HRs, 5 RBIs).
Weathermatt vs Gantry
Game 1; was as close as could be. Every top of the inning WM took the lead while Gantry would gain it back every bottom half. This would repeat every inning until the 9th, where Weathermatt would not be able to come back from a 33-40 deficit in the top half. Jackson and Matthews each had GSs for Gantry, and Ted Williams added a 3HRs game. For Weathermatt, McGwire had a 5HR - 8 RBI game, and Sanders was 7-8 (3HRs, 3 doubles) in the losing effort.

Nacho = The Mets.
POOYAN!
I didn't make the playoffs but at least I win my $20 sidebet against Weathermatt. So a slightly smaller pooyan from me.
My team = winners. Gutty.
Nice close to the season for my crew - they were in second or third for quite a bit of the season.
i was right about to be all pissy about missing the playoffs and how i dropped two (or more) or attez this year, but then i read mclane's post.
YES!

YES!
That was a good series for me
AROD Division - Greatest in the history of sports? Or most mediocre?
After being in first for 70% of the season before the wheels fell of my team, I'm happy to have squeezed into a playoff spot. Seemed like my team just got tired down the stretch and are thankful for their 1 week rest before game 1.
I was wondering why the season stats on the left (team) doesn't match the individual player stats on the right. Which one is correct? Plus the macros arent working with my mac Stock. Could you possibly PM me my players season stats in order of current batting order?
Thanks.

Not sure what you are looking at.
I spot checked about half your line-up and the stats match.
Are looking at the correct set of stats on the left?
There are 3 sections.
1. Far Left = Season stats by team.
2. Middle = Stats by team for week 18 only.
3. Far Right = Sortable season stats for all teams.
I have attached a snapshot of your season stats (per your current lineup) in a Word file.
Hopefully your Mac can handle the complexities of Microsoft Word.
Thanks Stock. Here is my new playoff lineup:
1) Chipper
2) Klein
3) Kiner
4) Belle
5) Foxx
6) Bagwell
7) Jeter
8) IRod
9) Molitor
Round 1
Rack @ Ultimate
Game 1; was a pretty close, back-and-forth game until Ultimate had a big 10-run 7th inning. Ultimate came 1 run shy of ending it. Rack could only muster a few runs in the top of the 8th, and Ultimate ended it in the bottom half with a Strawberry walk-off 3-run HR (3rd of the game). McCovey, Banks, and Mitchel had 2HR games. For Rack, Belle was 6-6 (2HRs) in the losing effort.
Game 2; was close at first; tied at 21 after 3 and 23 after 4 innings. However, Rack went cold and got blanked in the 5th & 6th innings. Ultimate scored 10 in said innings, and will advance to the 2nd round after the 2-game sweep. Strawberry was 7-7 (2HRs, 3 doubles, 5 RBIs). Soriano had 3HRs and 6 RBIs. For Rack, Bagwell was 5-5 (2HRs) and Foxx added a GS in the losing effort.
Series MVP goes to Strawberry; 13-15 (5HRs, 5 doubles, 15 RBIs).
LVP goes to Jeter; 5-11 (GIDP) in series loss. Kiner also didn't help matters, batting .455 from the 3-spot.
Don't blame... Bagwell; 9-10 (5HRs, 11 RBIs) in the losing effort. Belle had a great series too; 10-11 (4HRs, 6 RBIs).
Ultimate will advance to the 2nd round to play Beefmaster in a best of 3 series.
Rack will go out with a 23-21 overall record.
I will update the master file at the end of the 1st round.
Big Hath @ Gantry
Game 1; BigHath bats around in the 1st inning putting up a solid 5 runs. Gantry goes crazy in the bottom half. Ted Williams, Jackson, Dunn, Matthews, Giambi & HoJo combined 13-13 (HR each) in the 1st inning. Ted Williams has a walk-off GS in this 5-18, 1-inning beat down. For Big Hath, Bobby Bonds and Jay Buhner hit HRs in their only AB.
Game 2; Both teams bat around and put up 5 runs in the 1st inning. Big Hath has a huge 3rd inning; putting up 15 runs, led by a Thome GS. Hath would have a 22-8 lead going into the bottom of the 3rd. Gantry would fall 1 run short of forcing a 4th inning. For BigHath, Burkman, Killebrew, & Buhner were 4-4 (HR each). Thome was 3-4 (3HRs (GS)).
Game 3; Gantry starts slow, putting up only 1 run thru 2 innings. After an 11-run 3rd inning, BigHath would have a 15-1 lead going into the bottom of the 3rd inning. For the 2nd game in a row, Gantry would fall 1 run short of forcing a 4th inning. Greg Vaughn was 3-3 (2HRs, double, 6 RBIs). Thome was 3-3 (HR, double, 3 RBIs).
Series MVP goes to Jim Thome; 7-8, 4HRs (GS), double, 10 RBIs. Killebrew also had an outstanding series; 8-8 (HR, 5 RBIs).
LVP goes to Deshields; 2-6 (0 RBIs).
Don't blame... Adam Dunn; 7-7 (2HRs, 3 doubles, 9 RBIs) in series loss.
Big Hath will advance to the 2nd round to play #1 seed, Fighton.
Gantry is eliminated and ends the year with an overall 24-21 record.

(5) Big Hath @ (1) Fighton (best of 3)
Round 2
Ultimate @ Beefmaster
Game 1; Ultimate chokes, putting up 0 runs in the 1st 2 innings. This was just playing with fire against the #1 scoring offense in the league. As expected, Beef puts it away in the 2nd inning. Campanela was 2-2 (2HRs, 3 RBIs).
Game 2; Ultimate starts out the same as game 1 and puts up 0 runs in the 1st two innings. This time Beefmaster is easy on them, and only puts up 3 runs in said innings. Ultimate finally breaks out of their 4-inning scoreless drought with an 8 run 3rd. Ultimate would keep the lead after 3 innings. Ultimate definitely got his groove back. They would follow their 8-run 3rd inning with an insane 23 runs in the top of the 4th (Mitchel was 3-3, 2HRs (GS), 7 RBIs just in the 3rd inning). Ultimate would have a 31-5 lead going into the bottom of the 4th. Beef would not come back from that deficit. Hornsby, Zernial, & Conigliaro combining 0-7 did not help Beef's chances. Strawberry would add 3HRs for Ultimate.
Game 3; Ultimate would stay hot, putting up 10 & 9 runs in the first 2 innings. Beef makes a run to stay alive but falls 1 run short. For Ultimate, Soriano/McCovey/Banks combine 9-9 (HR each), and Stargel adds 2HRs. In the loss, Bonds was 2-2 (2HRs, 4 RBIs).
Ultimate will move on to play the winner of BigHath/Fighton in the championship game.
Series MVP goes to Hundley; 8-9 (HR 3 RBIs from the 8-spot). Strawberry/Stargel each had 3HRs.
LVP goes to Hornsby. The leadoff batter needs to do better than a .429 BA in a playoff game.
Don't blame... Bonds; 5-7 (4HRs, 7 RBIs) in the loss.
Beefmaster is eliminated and will end up with a 26-19 overall record.
BigHath @ Fighton
Game 1; BigHath doesn't do anything. They can't even get an extra base hit in the first 3 innings, much less a run. Fighton ends it in the 3rd. Pujols was a perfect 3-3 (3HRs, 7 RBIs, walk-off).
Game 2; BigHath was more consistent and Fighton was a little off. 21-10 is the final after 5 innings. Garciaparra was 0-3 (2 GIDPs) for Fighton. For BigHath, Buhner was a terrific 5-5 (3HRs, 8 RBIs) in the win.
Game 3; BigHath strikes first and strikes big. They bat around almost 2.5 times and score 16 runs in the top of the first inning. Fighton would only get 2 runs and they are eliminated. The top 2 seeds are gone.
Series MVP goes to Greg Vaughn; 8-8 (triple, double, 3 RBIs). Vaughn is now 16-17 in the playoffs so far.
LVP goes to Nomar Garciaparra; 3-7 (2 GIDPs) in the series loss.
Don't blame... Albert Pujols; 5-7 (5HRs, 9 RBIs). Jeff Kent was also 6-7 from the leadoff spot.
Fighton will end the season with an overall record of 28-17.
BigHath advances to the championship, and will face Ultimate
Championship (best of 5 Series).
Game 1; BigHath @ Ultimate
Game 2; BigHath @ Ultimate
Game 3; Ultimate @ Big Hath
Game 4; Ultimate @ BigHath (if necessary)
Game 5; BigHath @ Ultimate (if necessary)
Oh well it was a good run. Kudos to Stock again for putting this on....
Awesome, should be a good final good luck Big Hath
Game 1
BigHath comes out big in the top of the first inning. Burk/Thome were both 2-2 (HR each). Buhner added a 2-run HR. Dickey added an RBI double. Bobby Bonds hit a GS in his 2nd AB of the inning. Killebrew was 2-2 (singles), and Vaughn was 2-2 (3-run HR). 13 runs were scored in total. Ultimate fires back with 10 runs in the bottom half. 6 runs came from 3-run HRs from McCovey & Mitchel, while the other 4 came courtesy of a Strawberry GS.

I really think Ultimates team is executing the fundamentals moreso than Big Haths.
Big Hath's team needs to go back to the basics.
It's pretty clear that Ultimate's team wants it more

this is just a guess, but I bet you could add up the number of wins from the first post and get a pretty good estimate.

No I think you'd have to add up the losses
I think you need to average the number of wins and the number of losses.
If I wanted to add, I would go to school....
Thanks for doing this, Stock. It was more fun than I hoped.

Wow. Any idea how long the average game took? Even at five minutes, that's almost 30 hours.

On average, probably about 3 times that. Although, there were quite a few games that were done by the 3rd or 4th inning, and a handful that didn't make it out of the 1st/2nd inning.
Since it took me a little over 10 months to complete the season, that probably comes to about 15 minutes a day.
Don't feel too bad for him. He got to play RBI for 15 minutes/day.
The funny thing is, I played a lot of these games while I was flying.
I enjoyed the weird looks from people as I would bust out the NES controller and play RBI on the plane.

This makes the whole season doubly awesome.
You should have kept a running tally of which team was up to bat the most during areas of turbulence.
So when does next season start?
Would you guys be down with a traditional Fantasy RBI season (com vs. com)?
Always.
Especially if we can actually watch the games.

I think Mike D should get a team to run in the traditional fantasy league. I fully endorse it.
I'll play. (And make an attempt to be competetive)
