The new league can be found here.

Thanks, guys! I appreciate the support and encouragement. See you on the other side.

<t> This league was started with three objectives:<br/> <br/> 1) Have some fun!<br/> <br/> 2) Take up the challenge offered by Shaun in the v1.84 release notes: "Updated Computer GM AI in real player associations. I doubt any of you guys will be able to beat it now. Good luck!"<br/> <br/> 3) Experie...

September 17: Jim Hearn is injured on the first batter of the game and will be out for 9 days. On the next batter, reliever Satchel Paige suffers a season-ending "very serious" rotator cuff injury.

(Maybe it IS time to look at that injury model. [:(] )

September 15, 1949

The Cardinals win 9 straight to open a 4.5 game lead over Brooklyn. Our magic number stands at 10.

Detroit's magic number is 9 but there are still six teams mathematically alive in the A.L. [X(]

<t> The pennant races really heat up in August!<br/> <br/> August 6: Howie Fox of Cincinnati throws a perfect game against the Dodgers! We beat the Giants 9-2 behind Dobson, and take over first place by one-half game.<br/> <br/> August 12: Brooklyn beats Pittsburgh 7-6 in 14 innings to pull even wit...

We had won eight of our last ten games but were only able to gain a game on Brooklyn in the standings. Brooklyn was on a five-game win s...

Now that my Cardinals are out...

<t> I am concerned that my association is stagnant from a financial standpoint. This is all based on how I understand the financial model. If I am wrong, someone please correct me.<br/> <br/> In my association, the teams in total have spent 33% of their available finances. The yearly inflation will ...

Good luck on that new job! Hope to see you on the other side, LP2. Cheers!

<t> Gary,<br/> <br/> Many of the people posting on this topic have spent the summer here downloading frequent updates, commenting on features, and enjoying a product that was really in a state of constant flux. Version 1.86 was just one waypoint along the journey to us. Since we had no idea that the...

<t> A brief interruption for a word from our sponsor...<br/> <br/> I plan to continue to play this association on v1.86 (haven't gone beyond it to 1.87 yet) until at least October 16. At that point, I'll decide what to do... whether to continue with a new version or stay on v1.86 (or stop completely...

<t> Congratulations, Shaun! I sincerely hope this goes well for you. Maybe you can quit your day job someday. [;)]<br/> <br/> This can only mean good things for the game, and therefore for us. I am looking forward to October 16. It sounds like a pretty short deadline, so I hope you have plenty of co...
