to quote Meatloaf: 2 out of 3 ain't bad

Diamond league:

Aomori and Mount Hawke will beat up on each other in the AC East; while Waffletown will get a handful of interleague games in the NC East, but not enough to hit the 10 minimum

Once again my dreams fail to materialize

Those interleague games tend to shuffle around a bit by opening day. Unfortunately, this time Waffletown didn't gain any extra games/series, they just got more games against Aomori and fewer against Mount Hawke.

Shouldn't the interleague games always be a home and away series?

Actually, as far as scheduling goes, you said it best a couple of weeks ago that, in a promotion/relegation scheme, a balanced schedule is by far the most fair and logical. Rivalries mean nothing in a computer simulation, so there's no need to weight schedules by conference or division. Short of that, it would be nice if "friends" carried more weight.

I have to say, I wish we could play as admin in PT23

Before getting onto the schedules, the first thing I'd do is go in and set my card drop rates to the correct figures!!

[Tinkerman]

Claptown got the hot start. The Rustlers are yet to get going.

[Stanley Kuppchaser]

Los Angeles won its only game to grab the lead. Greenland has yet to play.

Diamond league:

Aomori off to a perfect start in OL play. At the other end, Waffletown on pace for a trip back to Gold

[revmcgator]

Parity, thy name is OL I177. New Zealand has the slight edge in the early going, but it looks to be a slugfest for the title this season.

[Tinkerman]

Claptown kept their good start going.

[Stanley Kuppchaser]

Shinbone moves into first as the action heats up.

[stl jason]

Diamond league:

Aomori might just want to have practice games against themselves if they are looking for some competition as the gap between them and Mount Hawke/Waffletown is more of a grand canyon at the moment

IRON
Brooklyn back on top.

It's been awhile since Mount Hawke's pitching staff collectively sucked as badly as they have so far this week! I hope they're gonna bounce back at some point.

[Tinkerman]

Claptown still holds the top spot, but Coney Island are breathing down their necks.

[Stanley Kuppchaser]

Los Angeles applies pressure to Shinbone heading into the back stretch.

[stl jason]

Diamond league:

The canyon narrows to more of a chasm as Aomori dips perilously close to dropping below an .800 winning percentage against OL competition.

[revmcgator]

Iron:

Colorado Springs surges to the top. (Which is ok, since a surge in Colorado is much different than a surge in SW Florida )

[Tinkerman]

Claptown have pulled away a bit from Coney Island. Mevagissey are 13-4 against everyone other than Claptown.
