I have no words. Good luck, Matt. Everyone is available. Paper Tiger. I have no idea why Tommy Poe threw game 4 instead of Manhos, but it doesn't really matter. We were done by then. We didn't hit a single homerun and generated no offense which is why we lost. Man, all that work for nothing. What a waste of time.

A full count 2-run HR in the bottom of the 9th inning to a guy who hit .191 this season. God damn it. Two more games to win and Crudge will be back for game 7. Hopefully that game 5 isn't a killer but it's going to tough to bounce back from that one.

As for the other series....wow. Didn't see two sweeps happening over there.

I'm ready for the next sim, btw.

Fisher got wrecked. Maybe I should have started Twinkle Toes.

Raulo was terrific in his return.

We're up 3-2 heading back to New Orleans. Hau and Raulo to take us home.

Alex de Jesus rules!

How does Lindsey get replaced by Tommy Poe? My best SP didn't even pitch. WTF is the AI doing? Can they just pull a fully rested guy for an emergency starter? Like I said, doesn't matter, but maybe I don't get swept? Who knows...

[Z]

Also, we're ready.

That's right we wanted to make it even harder on ourselves and take on the defending champs by skipping over Herberholtz and Mejia's spots in the rotation and benching JJ Caplan for 3 games! WTF is up with this Manager A.I.?

Abnormal is set in the bullpen and he starts a game? Oshman starts two? I'm set to four man rotation strict order. Somehow we still got the sweep and the wicked witch is dead but this is not good.

Great run Diesel. Brad can you check my team before you run the next sim and see if I did something stupid that's making my manager act like a complete idiot? Or do we just blame the fact that he's Canadian?

[Carlos]

Never seen anything like the rotation issues mentioned above.

Really curious why they are happening.

My 7 day lineups worked great...pitching and fielders. And even my defensive substitutions had no issues.

Really surprised at the outcome. DVS handled us during the season without an issue. Gotta say though I'll throw my 1-2-3 of Gonzalez, Martinez, and Burton against anyone. Then when you go to Earley and Magana in the bullpen it's lights out most of the time. Reminds me of the days of Basil and Bayer.

Farthest we've been since taking Virginia to 7 games in '95. Looks like Windy City has some hot pitchers so we're in trouble in this one. We do get back Crespin though at the beginning and possibly Hardwick at the end so we're excited to see how it plays out.

Remind me not to win the most games in the IL. Grabbing the #1 seed is a gotdamn instant flight back to the crib.

[Delandis]

I could see the talent difference in WAS/WC maybe coming to this, but I did not expect the DVS/BAT result. Now taking a look at the DL. Looks like there is actually some competition over there.

[mwetts]

Rocha started for me and I had him in the BP in long relief... Fuck.

This is what happens when you haven't assembled a post season LU in a decade.

[mwetts]

The youngster, Fred Schubert got ejected in the second inning of a game we lost 3-2.

Selfish.

Did the playoffs start on a Monday? Sometimes when you run 7 day lineups you accidentally think the first game is on the left hand side of the screen (Monday) when you're really starting on the right hand side (Friday).

You may have had it set up as if you thought it started on Monday when you were really planning for game 4-5.
