Looking For "Friends" to join "Our League" Season 3

[Stanley Kuppchaser]

From what my friends lists cover, it looks like we caught most everybody, getting Ewa Beach and Flatbush back, and welcoming the Dynasty into the fold. The spread in S316 is rather odd, with 4 teams in one division and Ewa Beach alone. Hopefully they'll get enough games. The G329 is nicely spread. They just missed getting two team per division, which would, to me, be perfect. Both my teams are together, so maybe one of them will beat the other up enough to keep themselves from relegation. Good luck to all.

Five teams. Will be interesting to see if Vlora and Iron Maiden get enough OL games to qualify for title.

Diamond 355:

Kansas and Norwood paired up in the NC East. Everyone else off by themselves in their own division.

(keep the home-fires burning in Gold.... Waffletown will see you again next season )

just logged in to see these....


I'd expect this kinda thing if I was sandbagging in the Rookie league, but this is Diamond (checking the box score, we chased FOTF Spahn after 3.1 innings (10 hits, 7 runs), Jose Fernandez tossed 2 scoreless innings, Liam Hendriks 0.2 with no runs, Bob Gibson 0.1 (1 hit, 2 walks, 3 earned runs), Bob Feller (0.2, 4 hits, 2 runs), Trevor Hoffman (0.0, 4 hits, 4 runs), Tom Seaver (0.1, 2 hits, 3 runs), Hank Aaron (0.1, 5 hits, 7 runs), Roy Campanella (0.1, 3 hits, 3 runs)....

all total tallied just shy of 12000 points

Shinbone got off to a quick start, taking a three-game lead over Terra Incognita in the first month of sims.

Ciudad Trujillo, Hooterville, and Hartford started swiftly and lead the way into May.

Diamond league update:

Norwood makes the most of the limited schedule to jump out into the lead.

The season title looks to be mainly a battle between K-Town and Sierra Vista, though the other three teams can play the spoiler. However, Cat Town is a very strong team and could make good use of a very limited, but title-eligible schedule.

(Because of the limited schedule, updates may not happen daily this week)

We appreciate the complement--I fear we're in that deadly "too good for one level, not quite ready for the next" limbo, while I work tournaments to win packs and buy some better pitchers.

Shinbone's lead shrank to just a half-game as the Stars went 3-3, enabling Terra Incognita to close the gap. The Rustlers were 5-0. Flatbush rallied into third, going 6-2. The overall race widened with eight teams now at .500 or better.

[Stanley Kuppchaser]

The Haymakers, despite a .500 record for the month, climbed into first as the race compressed, with the path opening a bit wider for the top six. The very busy Hartford Whalers, at 13-10, the South Side Gooeys, 6-4, and the Ewa Beach Fighting Chickens, 2-1, posted winning records.

Diamond League update:

just a couple games on the schedule with no change in the standings.... Cary, Waffletown, Laramie and Palolo all will hit the minimum 10 games as most of their OL schedule is post-all-star game (Norwood/Kansas will obviously have 19 against each other as well as against other divisions)

[Stanley Kuppchaser]

The Stars won 7 of 10, to maintain their grip in gold. The chasers shuffled their order a little with Flatbush, 10-5, Hidden Valley, 9-4, and El Dorado, 8-2, posting sterling numbers for the month.

[Stanley Kuppchaser]

The Haymakers stayed hot at 11-4. The OOTP Forum is misbehaving and is suddenly not allowing posting of graphics. Will try again later. It's working again.

Diamond League update:

Laramie nearly runs the table in their schedule to vault into the lead. Puppies still waiting for their first OL match.

Confirmations and corrections. First, the confirmations...

As expected, Cat Town is on top, thanks to a strong lineup and a limited schedule. They will end with exactly 10 OL games, and will make a strong case for the title. However...

I miscounted Iron Maiden's OL games and counted them as a possible spoiler to Cat Town's plans. It so happens that Iron Maiden will also have exactly 10 games, and are also in a strong position for the title.

In fact, all four eligible teams should have quite a fight on their hands, as all five OL teams are fairly strong. In fact, all five teams are in position to be promoted at season's end, all in the top 7 in overall standings.

(On a personal note, having eschewed all SE cards gained through LIVE missions, the management of Vlora, K-Town, and Ring Road have decided to accept all other SE cards. Thus, K-Town has recently acquired SE 100 Carlton Fisk and SE 100 Kirby Puckett to bolster their lineup.)

How did you acquire those 2 cards. That is not clear to me.

My guess would be buying on the AH.

Postseason Low 3 and Postseason Wild Card missions.

Must have been saving points for a long time!
