Re: 2012, Sim #15 Chatter
15 of Madison's final 27 games against teams with winning records. Going to be interesting to see if we can hold onto this (1 with California, 7 with Chicago, 4 with Hawaii, and 3 vs Baltimore)

Re: 2012 - Do we need another wild card to make things fun?
with a 2nd WC the trade deadline would not have passes so quietly - I'll guarantee you that. Boy I dunno if I agree with that. What GM thinks to themselves, If I make this trade I have a shot at the 2nd WC? I would never mortgage my future for a current season shot at a 2nd WC. That's way too risky...

Re: 2012 - Do we need another wild card to make things fun?
I am not sure if you are pointing at me, but to say that I am "sitting on my heels rebuilding" is as far from the truth as you could be. I would want to see data that shows how more playoff teams equals more competition in this league setting. I wasn't pointing at anyone. Just stating it can be don...

Re: 2012 - Do we need another wild card to make things fun?
I vote no. And I speak as a team that could very well end the season 5th before it is all said and done. I don't agree with the statement that adding a playoff team increases participation. There are plenty of teams/owners out there who participate when their teams are bad just like there are owners...

Re: 2012, Sim #15 Chatter
Wolves go 6-4. Only Chicago's 7-4 record was better among the teams fighting for a playoff spot. So Madison only loses .5 games in the division but holds the wild card lead with a month of games left. I'm still shocked I can even make that statement. It has been a crazy season. If memory serves me c...

Re: MBWBA surprise team of the year... vote now!
Carolina is not tanking. We had the #12 offense in the FL with Jacob Bryant and we have the #12 offense in the Frick without him - in case you're counting at home, that's last place, muy terrible. If I was looking to tank it would be a lot more obvious. Just to clarify, I wasn't implying you were t...

Re: 2012 #16 Sim 13
Go Suns!! Sorry Brett. The JL Pacific is so close I have to pull against all you guys at the moment so I can try and separate Madison for the Wild Card spot. However another Madison-Vancouver post-season matchup would be awesome! It would feel like old times if somehow Madison took the division, Van...

Re: MBWBA surprise team of the year... vote now!
I think it helps to look at where the teams were last year for a basis of comparison for those not sure where these teams were.. The Good: Madison Wolves (Currently 2nd in JL Midwest) -- Madison had a .438 winning percentage last season and 25 games out. This season, they have a .578 winning percent...

Re: 2012, Sim #13 Chatter
HMMMMM, we have closed to within a game of Chicago in the division but wracked up a ton of minor injuries that sim. Hopefully most will be cleared by the time the file date is. Of course my fill-in at 1B in his lone start went 3-5 with 3 HRs.

Re: 2012/2 The Old Guy
He played in 25 games with Madison that season and claimed a ring.. He played in 3 games and got 1 AB that post-season. Of course he can always say he batted 1.000 for his career in the post-season. That is unless Phoenix makes a playoff run next season. Since you're in my division, I'll be pulling ...

Re: 2012, Sim #12 Chatter
8-3 sim in Madison balances out that 1-9 run last sim. 9-12 isn't a great stretch but it kept us 2.5 up in the Wild Card race with 2 months remaining.

Re: 2012, International Free Agent Chatter
Jessie Wright was 10/7/7 but threw really hard and had some pretty good pitch ratings. I actually think his FB was 97-99 if I'm not mistaken. He had 5 years there where you could classify him as one of the top 3 pitchers all time in the league (excluding Nebraska). His 2001 season was truly somethin...
