I'm considered a quality opponent, this just brought a tear to my eye.

it makes no sense really. like its predetermined.

(ps - I 100% know it isnt, im simple saying sometimes it feels like you were going to win/lose regardless of what you did)
I wonder if it's really that much different than real life.

Cue nick, he's our resident researcher!!!

It's only August.

That fear doesn't kick in until October at which point we treat the Windstorm like we're going up against an all time all star squad all in their primes.

I dont know man, you guys have had my number since last years playoffs. The way its shaping up we may meet in the first round. Then again we both could miss the playoffs entirely. 6 teams fighting for 4 spots got to love it.

Awesome race going, If the playoffs started today, Winterfell wouldn't make it at 62-43, AL is stacked!!

I'm not worried though, my team is like Lebron's Cavs, we're built for regular season success. Then Nick Cross goes all "Lebron" on us every playoffs. :(

I pretty much agree with this list, Shel won't.


C, 1B, SS are the 3 as i see as pretty much universal.

Motsuzuki and Ando include their Japan times, change scope to "NDL"only. And Shini is up there too for catcher.

Sheltown, 1-9 in their last 10 against quality opponents.
I was 6-1 against quality teams right before that.

Next question!!!

This is where i jinx myself . . . but . . . Sheltown is 3-7 against the drunks of H-town . . . include a 4 game sweep a week ago . . . :shock:

BUT . . . now with a 3 games homestand against Cincy and traveling to I-10 rival SA this week . . . we could be moving down in the standings . . .

Chris Christensen has had a quietly productive career. currently 13th on the career VORP list. he was the dude who couldnt sign and finally did with Dave.

if Jesus Rivera continues at his current pace of about 40-50 VORP/yr, he will be #1 in 4-5 seasons. he'll be about 37 when that happens. Crazy all these kids who were once drafted are now retiring or very close to it

See my post from a couple of days ago you ignored.

Somebody hasn't checked Moreno's numbers the last 2 seasons.
