4-4 sim. meh!

[Cliche]

Another so-so sim. We need some winning streaks.

[Greeney03]

3-6 sim. JLA is a freakin' rollercoaster! Now LOU is on top!

[mrbornac]

The Bison are flirting with the wild card at this point. We have plans to call up another pitcher in July to help bolster a pitching staff that is performing above expectations.

[aaronweiner]

4-5 and working on challenging Marquette for the league's worst, I fear. I can take solace in the fact that I have the same record as the reigning champs.

[njherdfan]

8-1 sim, and the 1 loss was a blown save. Very happy, although I have to hope that we can avoid injuries moving forward.

[nverhoev]

Boooooo!!! 2-7???????

[agrudez]

Still leading the division in PYTH... though not taking much solace in it at this point.

[kestu]

7-12 in our last 2 sims - not pretty.

[nerfHerder]

4-5, but took 3 of 4 from California. That's nice.

[7teen]

Madison goes 7-2, takes over the division lead. My 2 losses were to YELLOW SPRINGS!! What is up with that? haha Took all 4 games from Omaha and Chicago that sim.
