Hey, my current team is sitting very, very pretty at 86-49 (37 games over .500) and I was wondering what the best SOM seasons some of you guys have had? Has anyone ever approached 120 wins, or is this almost statistically impossible because of the salary cap?

So list your best seasons and the teams that had them, if possible. Here's mine, and I just think the reason for my success is just having a very balanced, good defensive team. If not for my bullpen blowing 19 games I'd probably have 90+ wins, so I'm thinking a more sturdy closer than Chris Ray and maybe just one less pitcher would have been good.

This is my first ever team in SOM and I can only hope my other teams fare as well, and this just isn't HAL encouraging me to buy more online teams (even though I already did, heh).

Good job and congrats on your success. Thanks for posting.

Nice team, 8)

You may wish to have had a different closer and 1 less pitcher, but Hal may have used your bull pen differently which may have altered the outcome of many games....so I wouldn't think....what if???? :roll:

Since this is your first team, enjoy the success because it isn't all roses.
My first team in '05 won 90 games and lost in the Finals. It was all down hill after that, but who knows, you may be on to something the others haven't figured out yet..... :shock:

And yes, Hal is encouraging you to buy more teams, it worked on me and I am still buying them....damn addiction. :shock:

I'm impressed with Guillen's 16 errors at SS - that will work.
I have had success with Berkman as well in Chase.
Francis not throwing as well in the league I'm in as he is for you.
