2009 Regular Season SIM 26.3 Complete - Next SIM TBD

[Carlos]

If next seasons WC rules apply today the loser of DV/Was would have played the winner of Car/Balt to see who plays Windy City in the Divisonal series.

Right?

Yeah I think so. Crazy scenario.

The Tandy wouldn't have been able to handle it. No worries though my Dell can.

There wouldn't be a second wild card if the Tandy was in use. It would have been shot down quickly.

Doesn't look like the news article carries over. What a bummer...that would have been great.

Can you post it in the New forum please Carlos.

I'm stuck in the Poconos right now...I'm planning on heading home later this afternoon but Its snowing fairly aggressively right now so I'm not sure if I'll be able to update my roster today...

[Matt]

No problem.

The sim would be tomorrow at the earliest. If not Monday AM at the latest.

Listen up, Eastwood! I aim to shoot somebody today and I'd prefer it'd be you. But if you're just too damn yella, I guess it'll just have to be your blacksmith friend.

It looks like it didn't carry over. Completely deleted from my file.

Well now I don't believe you even did it.

I wish that was the story of my life.

We are exported. Looking forward to playoff revenue!

It would have been nice to win the Stout another time, but I also knew Pat would throw Salzman because he wanted to match-up his lefty starters with Matt's team.

I haven't had success against either BAT or CHI recently, so neither match-up was really "better" for us. I went with Hanback in his last game of the season and preserved/rested my possible 5 man rotation for playing Jistic.

Congrats on the division title, Pat. You tricked everyone into thinking you were competing to lower expectations, but I saw through it the whole time.

Thanks. Fitting end to the "2009 Troy Hanback story," picking up the loss, including a key fielding error to give his former teammates their first Stout title since 2006. I know the game didn't mean as much to you as it did to me but I still fill really good about picking up the win.

I do think I match-up better against Batavia than I do Windy City. Neither is a "good" match-up for us but I'm hoping to get a few lucky dice rolls and maybe, just maybe, Death Valley can upset Windy City and it will be an All-Stout ILCS, where I now would have home field advantage.

In all honesty, I could see my team getting swept just as much as I could see us sneaking out a series win in six or seven games. Batavia is about as hot as we are right now, rested and injury free. I'm dinged up with injuries, I had to throw my "ace" (Aten) on game #162 and my #3 (Salzman) on game #163 and I just think even when healthy and rested, are a much weaker team.

Good luck to all the playoff teams. Very exciting season that hopefully continues into the post.

Export in. Go Bats!

Export in, had a mini panic attack when Gargoyle wasn't in my players who are eligible for postseason, then I saw him.


LETS GO MILLERS!
