Here is my very first (TSN) 100 win team. This team actually won a 101 games, while being out homered 187 to 120. Who needs the long ball?

Thanks a lot guys. I don't think you can win that many games without a lot of luck. And I have probably had better teams, but not luckier ones.

Nice balance milter! It seems like you had all the great value cards. Good for you! Very difficult to win over 100 games.

Actually no. I think it was mostly set on Conservative or Normal.But I did set base running to Aggressive, and stealing to Aggressive depending on the situation.

By the Way, I got swept last night in the opening round of the playoffs. I am down 2-0. DOH! Maybe I can come back. I am not complaining, I am just commenting! Anything can happen in the playoffs. The other team BLEW me out in game one, 13-1! WOW!

I guess it's the law of averages but I have had several 100+ win teams that have lost in the playoffs.

Thanks for the nice comments. I do not take it real hard if I lose in the playoffs. I would really, really like to win, but I am not going to ***** and moan if I lose,.. or say that there is some trend about 100 win teams losing in the playoffs. I was lucky to win 101 in the first place! I appreciate the kind words. :D

Part of the reason I do not take it real hard when I lose in the playoffs is because anything can happen in a short series. And my main goal with every team is to make it to the playoffs, and then from there, anything can happen. I have been on the other side, where I was the Wild Card team and I beat a team with more wins. So it all averages out.

Good luck to you Sponedal! And everyone else!
