As described Sunday, I'm in a 1969 league that's missing a manager. I don't know how to contact Bernie. I tried three different addresses (my PM is in my "outbox" instead of "sent box," so I'm not even sure it went out). I'm sure sommebody out there knows the most recent, preferred way to contact bernie. Can you give specifics?

The team is worth only 64.22m in an 80m league, because 1) more than 6m in cap is unused, 2) there are three 2m+ outfielders on the bench due to roster imbalance, and 3) HAL isn't using Tommy Harper. Those three points add up to 15.78m of unused market cap.

Not only does this turn the league into a joke, it also gives a wildly unfair advantage to the other three teams in the relevant division. The team has scored 7 runs in its first 6 games. (It won once because its most expensive pitcher pitched a shutout -- but the sabermetrics guys say that any team will win about 30% of its games just by luck.) The other three teams in the division will face this absurd team 24 times each. This is unbelievable and really should be adressed by the SOM staff.

Can the team be temporarily "managed" to at least set up its roster properly and set decent manager controls on the players and the strategy settings (and after that allow the computer manager, or a volunteer, to take over)?

I sent him a note for you.

For the record, you would send an e-mail to stratomatic@sportingnews.com

I don't know why this question keeps getting posted. A little common sense, please. :roll:

There are 4 tabs at the top of your "active teams" page, Community, Your Account, Strat-O-Matic, and Help. Under Help, there is a link for Contact Us. Follow the directions from there.

His phone number is 867-5309, should you want to give him a call. If he isn't there, ask for Jenny.

Aero, I explained why I re-posted: because the SOM site is notoriously unreliable and out-of-date, and there is no reason to presume a link to "help" is current. In any case, I'd already done what you suggested and got no response.

voovits, I'd already emailed that address but got no response -- but thanks

I also PM'd or IM'd or whatever it's called, to Bernie's blog, and got no response (given that "outbox" and "sent" are the same thing)

ggrover, thank you
