For anyone doubting my scruples: 3-8 in this sim ought to let you rest better at night. You. Not me.

[aaronweiner]

Oh, and I am not the least bit surprised at Omaha, nor Iran Brito, breaking out in a big way in the JL. I thought they were the best team in the JL last year. (This much, maybe, but not being wildly successful.) Indy breaking out like this? Yeah.

[Ted]

Well this is ... unexpected.

[crobillard]

For anyone doubting my scruples: 3-8 in this sim ought to let you rest better at night. You. Not me.

Yup, we are starting to slip too. First place was fun y'all.

[bigmike13]

Above .500, hope we can build on it.

[aaronweiner]

Well this is ... unexpected.

I'm not shocked - your division was wide open.

[avery]

Well this is ... unexpected.

I'm not shocked - your division was wide open.

That's what... Anyway, in another shocking development YSN had a winning record in May...

[njherdfan]

Well. we went 6-4 as we continue to play really uninspiring baseball.

[Ted]

Well this is ... unexpected.

I'm not shocked - your division was wide open.

Is this a Hawaii (dover action) joke?

[nerfHerder]

Well this is ... unexpected.

I'm not shocked - your division was wide open.

The Ben Dover kings. Who would've thought one guy could derail a season.
