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

[Stanley Kuppchaser]

With my three teams in three levels, I can handle the standings, but a volunteer (or two) might be nice.

I can cover gold

Stanley had some concerns about the scheduling in B273, but after taking a quick glance at each team's schedule, there is nothing to worry about. Everyone will qualify for a crown run with relative ease. That said, here's the first day review.

<NEO SKY, SKY MAP! plays>

Daytona Beach and Death Valley set the early pace, although Death Valley has only had 3 games. Sierra Vista, Blitzkrieg, Asylum, Fort Huachuca, and Vlora are in the mix. At the bottom of the table, Cochise County and Otonokizaka aren't having fun.

In non-OL play, the early contenders to go up to silver appear to be Daytona Beach, Asylum, Blitzkrieg, Norwood, Iron Maiden, Sierra Vista, and Death Valley. K-Town, Fort Huachuca, and Vlora are in that second tier of teams that could find their form and make a playoff run. Cochise County, Otonokizaka, and Cat Town may do well to stay in the tier at their current rate of performance.

The Dragons and Whalers jumped off to quick starts, but a half-dozen teams stand at .500 or better.

Gold league update:

Kansas leads a tight pack of teams at the top after the first month of play.

K-Town is 6-3 in OL

Heck. I can't believe I forgot K-Town. I knew something wasn't right last night when I made the update. I forgot Sierra Vista, and then while under the influence of no sleep, I guess I forgot K-Town too

6-3 puts K-Town in that .667 category, so T-1 as of last night.

[Stanley Kuppchaser]

Ciudad Trujillo had a 7-4 month to grab the top spot as Hartford, 8-6, and Shangri-La, 3-3, follow close behind. The race still spreads at least seven wide, given that no team has clearly dominated.

Gold league update:

Kansas separates themselves from the rest of the league as we head into June.

Who doesn't love the great feeling of seeing a bunch of PP's roll in from an epic pounding? Over 15,000 PP from this one. What makes it funny is the last 50 points were because this was classified as a comeback win.

Boy, what a football score!


What the heck was going on, in the game? Was the wind blowing out at 30 MPH?

which batters pitched in that 17 run inning? Last season in that 12K point game I had, the other team had Hank Aaron and Roy Campanella on the mound in the end

The plot thickens...

On further inspection, it appears the "victim" (Yankees) is one of those Rookie-to-Gold-to-Rookie teams (reported). Fortunately for me, I've caught them on their descension. Other OL teams in Bronze this season are bound to benefit from this team as well. K-Town is 6-0 against them with scores of 9-2, 8-3, 17-8, 12-7, 17-6, 39-10.

In this game, wind was blowing out to right at 40mph! The only non-pitchers K-Town faced were Aaron Hicks, Gary Sanchez and Luke Voit. Voit wasn't charged with any runs.

Heading into the 7th, the Rock Piles were down, 10-9. NY used 5 pitchers in the inning, including Hicks.

Some good pulls today for the Dynasty. Got 53k for silver Dick Bartell (part of Solid Gold collection), parlayed it into a few historical diamonds (95 Bill Terry, 91 Tom Seaver, 96 Bryan Harvey), as well as one I'm actually gonna use (94 Noodles Hahn). Then the big pulls started to roll in. 100 Tom Seaver (non-FOTF), 100 Roy Campanella (FOTF) both arrive at the Kingdom. With coin left over from selling high-value excess, the Dynasty then added 100 Frank Robinson (Special Edition) to replace 99 Miguel Cabrera (All Time Legend) at 1st base. Ideally I'd want Robinson in the outfield, but I have 100 Kirby Puckett (Special Edition) in left, 100 Billy Hamilton (Special Edition) in center, and 100 Vladimir Guerrero (Special Edition) in right. Logjam city in the outfield, so naturally first base became the play. It's safe to say that the old Magus pack mojo might be back.

Once Cabrera sells, may be able to add more things via the AH.

Gang I do not like reducing my security to play Perfect Team so until that resolves Cat Town won't have a skipper, sorry.

No sweat. My teams have never had a manager.

Neither do mine. In the best of times, they had a raging lunatic running them. Now, they have someone who can't be bothered to do anything other than open packs and get drunk.

Looks like I was able to get in without a dubious workaround! Now for more slightly better than mediocrity!

[Stanley Kuppchaser]

The Dragons had a perfect 5-0 month to gain the lead over Hartford, who posted a fine 6-1 mark of their own. The Brooklyn Pimp Ministers hung in, going 3-1. Terra Incognita made the biggest move, vaulting to third on the strength of a 14-5 month. Ciudad Trujillo, 5-10, and Transylvania, 6-16, suffered precipitous drops.

that's called "old timey managing".... nothing wrong with that
