cool. would have been nice if Crakes made the same division.

I find all the OL teams by just searching in the Managers tab, first by "- OL", then by "-OL". All of them should show up on one of those lists. It is also easy in the lists that get returned to click "add friend" to the ones you need to add.

There are currently a total of 40 OL teams: 3 teams in diamond, 4 in gold, 4 in silver, 11 in bronze, and 18 that are lower than Bronze.

thanks! that explains why there was only 4 OL teams in our league. I figured they were just spread out.

[Tinkerman]

Be warned - if you find yourself in a league with Paxville, there will almost certainly be less than 4 teams!

As the Vertical Bar ("pipe") is an "or" operator in the search you can also use "-OL|- OL" if you want to do it in one step.

You can also check the google sheet that Jason maintains. It has all the teams with their season-by-season records, plus totals, crowns. It's great.

Missed a day, but there wasn't as much inter-OL activity, lots of inter-league play. With the LabRats and the Sunday Drivers in the same division, they have plenty of head to head play. Labrats still lead the OL standings, but with half the season left, they feel a need to get an upgrade at Catcher and SS.

OL teams doing well in the AC playoff hunt.

[Edster007]

Coney Island still tops the standings. The Brewers made a big move going 11-3 to jump to 3rd place.

In PT play the Warriors, Mundys and Brewers all lead their divisions. Cleveland is .5 games out in the NC East.

Sugar Hill, Ostego Lake and South Holland are in the drop zone.

[Boomcoach]

After cleaning out some inactive players the LabRats are please to announce that they have acquired what they expect to be the mainstay of their infield for seasons to come.

[revmcgator]

Inland Empire remains almost unbeatable in OL I205. The Wranglers are close to clinching the title, if they haven't already.

[revmcgator]

Route 66 still leads, but Hartford has closed in.

after exercising a lot of patience, & the chips falling just right, the Nowhere Men are pleased to announce the acquisition of Mike Mussina & his knuckle-curve. This "promotion" will continue the NM BAL program.

His addition to the rotation will likely push Marichal to the pen.

With packs ice cold & the well dry once again, rumors of more roster moves are circulating. story developing...

*The Men would also like to thank Chet Lemon for his contributions to the team. Always a gamer, he was unfortunately squeezed out over time. "It was one of the hardest things I've done this year" said Manager Ian Iachimoe. "I grow attached to players over time, moving them is never easy".

Very nice, and took a lot of work.

thanks brother! It was.

holding an early pull & finding a card insanely low helped. They were only the 40 pointers though so I was forced to look 55 & up. watched a good number of them get listed (& sell) at outrageous prices for what seemed like forever & was finally lucky enough to find one at the avg last night.

Pulled a Kyle Seager shortly after (part of the Biggio mission) that I had to (reluctantly) sell overnight to put me in position & it was still there this morning. I really wanted to hold it, but the Biggio mission can wait I guess.

I just picked up Oscar Charleston for 8K under the 10 day average. I still probably paid too much. Now I'm pretty broke!

After completing the "live missions" if I don't put the pitchers on my active roster, is that considered tanking on purpose?

My thought is to build up PP in a lower league without getting promoted too soon. If it is tanking I will put them on my active roster ASAP.

[Boomcoach]

I wasn't trying to "tank" with my LabRats, just wanted to try out a Theme team, but I will admit I started converting the pitching over to the theme first, while keeping bigger bats in the lineup. Still, dropping back down to Rookie hasn't hurt my PP production and I feel little guilt over it.

Was able to pick up Concepcion at a decent price this morning. I was able to complete the live missions earlier this week and have been selling off the rewards. Hoping to get enough to pick up a Perfect Ernie Lombardi before next season. He is actually selling for not much more than a couple Diamond Cincinnati catchers, since they are needed for missions.

At that point, I will have an all-Cinci roster, finally, and can work on upgrading.

are there any theme team leagues? that would be really cool.

I have one F2P team left without a home. a theme league or pack only would be perfect.

It seemed to me that there was one last year, or maybe it was discussed this year, where you picked "x" number of teams to build with.

If I do a theme team next year, I branch out to all-Ohio for a little more flexibility than just Cincinnati. Or maybe I should just be a little more patient, since it is still May. Plenty of time to fill out the roster. Once I get Lombardi, I think I may have to focus on putting together some better tournament teams and see if I can get more packs that way, as improving my roster will mean more than a couple thousand PPs from now on.

oh man, that's a nice pull! I grab him 9/10 times when I can in PD.

I can't imagine anyone else manning SS on the Labrats for a long time.

[ColbyVargas]

I rarely look in on tournaments mid-stream, as it's just infuriating, but here comes an OL matchup. Mundys, how is your Joe Birmingham batting .400 when mine is still under the Mendoza Line?
