if the team does well, it's cause of brilliant drunken managerial stylings.... if they don't do well, it's just cause they're terrible and won't respond correctly to curse fill rants

A little Christmas Eve, midday update...

Daytona Beach currently holds the lead in a tight race in OL B273. OL teams dominate the overall power rankings once again.

[Bottom Of The Sixth]

In PT, it is very common for the game to mention that a player has tied or broke a team record for strike outs, or number of hits, etc.


Where can I locate these team records?


Thanks

I don't think it does have a report to show team records like that in PT.... I resorted to tracking that stuff myself on a spreadsheet

Hartford won two of three to move into first in what is at least a five-way race for 2059. The Brooklyn Pimp Ministers matched their pace, at 4-2, to move into second, while Shangri-La slipped to third, going 2-5. Terra Incognita also slumped to 2-4 for the month and was caught by the surging South Side Gooeys, who were 9-2.



Editor's Note: I'm actually planning on baking a St. Louis Gooey cake later today.

Gold league update:

Kansas still comfortably atop the OL standings with two months remaining. Overall, OL teams hold 5 of the 6 division leads.

Yes!!! My wife and kids scoff at its simplicity and over-the-top sweetness until I make it, at which point they go to work on it. (All raised in Chicago, what do they know).

Asylum seems to have asked Santa for quality pitching, as their league-leading staff has powered them to the lead in OL B273. There are still plenty of games left as of the midday Friday update.

We'll see how they react.

[Bottom Of The Sixth]

What is that Mark, and what does it have in it?


Also, get in touch with me some time soon, so we can discuss OL for PT22.



Thanks

While Hartford fashioned a somewhat lackluster 4-3 record for the month, it was good enough to make them a prohibitive favorite as they begin their stretch run knowing that, with seven OL games left, a similar mark will assure them of the crown. All of those games are against the Brooklyn Pimp Ministers, who have 10 games in total to play. Brooklyn needs at least five wins in those seven contests to open up even a difficult path to the crown. Their schedule, however, does make them the second favorite team for fans in South Side, Shangri-La, Ciudad Trujillo, and Terra Incognita. Without a formidable showing by the Pimp Ministers, those four teams could see even a spectacular stretch run wasted.



With only four games left, South Side can't afford even a single loss. Shangri-La, with nine to go, Ciudad Trujillo, 13 on tap, and Terra Inconita, 14 remaining, don't need perfection, but must post much better numbers than they have recently, and hope that Hartford staggers. The Dragones, 5-2, and the Gooeys, at 5-4, were the only squads among the five trailers to post a winning record in this month's sims. The Rustlers were 8-8, the Dragons, 1-4, and the Pimp Ministers were 3-7.

Gold league update:

A stumbled by Kansas (swept by Weston Pointe in a three game series) and a solid month from Cary opened the door for the Southpaws to move into the lead heading into the stretch run.

Asylum remains in front in OL B273. Asylum is in good position, with 10 of their remaining 13 OL games coming against 10th place Cat Town.

Meanwhile, 2nd place Death Valley also has 13 OL games left on their schedule, 7 of which comprise the entire remaining OL schedule for 3rd place Sierra Vista. (Kudos if you figure out what I just said.)

Vlora, Iron Maiden and Otonokizaka all have work to do to stay out of relegation, while 8 of the top 12 teams in the current power rankings are from the OL.

Asylum's premier portsider, George "Rube" Waddell turned in a dominating performance in posting a July no-hitter. My "hands off" managerial style caused this to nearly escape my attention. Anyway, here's a belated tribute to to the Keepers' stylish southpaw.

I've found the hands-off approach works best (especially since it takes many, many, many seasons to amass enough funds to afford any upgrades)... been focused more on my Beer league lately... just play commissioner there so no stake in any one team... (had one team rattle off a 26 game winning streak in April/May.... now have a player on a 28 game hitting streak and batting over .400 in late July)


edit: and figures the one time I miss the twipt stream for that tourney last night, the Syrups matched up against Dishnet's squad to make the live broadcast (though we couldn't even score a run and went down 2-0 in the game)

[Magus978]

Up to the minute update in B273. These are as of September 20, 2059 in game.

<F1 Starting Grid theme by Brian Tyler plays in background>

Asylum 43-23 (.651)
Death Valley 33-21 (.611)
Norwood 33-26 (.559)
Daytona Beach 41-33 (.554)
Sierra Vista 30-26 (.535)
Cochise County 31-30 (.508)
Fort Huachuca 31-31 (.500)
K-Town 21-21 (.500)
Otonokizaka 31-36 (.462)
Cat Town 28-36 (.437)
Blitzkrieg 20-31 (.392)
Vlora 26-41 (.388)
Iron Maiden 15-26 (.365)

Asylum has two more with Fort Huachuca at home. Death Valley has 3 more with Sierra Vista. Norwood has two left at K-Town. Otonokizaka has 3 left against Vlora. The crown is probably decided, but Otonokizaka's three with Vlora will most likely decide which one of them goes down to Iron.

Speaking of non-OL play...

- Daytona Beach leads AC East by 3
- Asylum ran away with the AC Central
- Blitzkrieg are on a run to try and steal the AC West
- Fort Huachuca looks good for WC1, while Blitzkrieg will most likely have WC2 to fall back on if their push to win their division falls short.

All other OL teams in the AC (Cat Town, Vlora, and Otonokizaka) are eliminated from playoff contention.

- Death Valley leads by 5 over Sierra Vista in NC East
- Norwood cruised to the NC West title
- Sierra Vista and K-Town have the inside track on WC1 and WC2 in the NC, but Cochise County is not out of it (4 games back).

Iron Maiden is eliminated from playoff contention.

RELEGATION RACE
Daytona Beach (80-73) is safe
Cat Town (74-80) leads Otonokizaka by 4 games
Vlora (70-83) leads Otonokizaka by half a game
Iron Maiden (65-88) are relegated barring a complete meltdown by either Vlora or Otonokizaka while they have to pretty much win out.

Full results tomorrow unless revmcgator wakes up before me and gets to them first. (His will probably be far more accurate anyway )

[Stanley Kuppchaser]

Hartford needed to go 4-3 in the September and did just that, sailing nearly undisturbed on calm seas to capture the crown. The chasers spent their month sinking each other's hopes, with only the Brooklyn Untouchables, at 5-3, gaining ground at all. Shangri-La, 5-4, was the only other team above the surface for the month.


Playoff and relegation pictures are attached.

[Stanley Kuppchaser]

Congratulations! Their second silver and third crown overall.
