March Madness B2, Rd 2 - Panzer wins 101!

[Semper Gumby]

With six (6) games to go, who will be moving forward?

A truly tough season right to the end which beats playing in the public leagues!

[Jablowmi]

Tough, indeed. Although I'll move on, I'm facing a second March Madness playoff drought, despite winning records in each season (90 in season one, 80 to date in season two). Tough crowd/competition, which is what this thing is all about.

[1st Command Commando]

I was wondering if there was an advance to the next round exemption card I could use for tossing out the idea of this league?? :wink:

It's gonna be tough to sit on the sidelines and watch you all advance. On the positive side, this is my first league with the Panzer, and he is every bit as tough as his record suggests. The competition is great. Look forward to next years tourney!

Good luck to all advancers.

If you can make sure the next C-130 / 5 ride I get lacks that damn bag nasty, you can have my seat in the next round. :wink:

On my team


Batting

[b:7012f602c9]Chump:[/b:7012f602c9]

Jim Rice / Bill Doran (season 1)

Even drawing [b:7012f602c9]Doran[/b:7012f602c9]'s blah card, he didn't quite hit it.

[b:7012f602c9]Rice[/b:7012f602c9]? I still think I had Jim's better season card than his worse card. If so, he really should refund his salary to me.


[b:7012f602c9]Champ: [/b:7012f602c9]

[b:7012f602c9]Tim Wallach [/b:7012f602c9]by a country mile. While Strawberry hit ~50 HRs, I probably drew his worse season effort here.

[b:7012f602c9]Played above the Rim: [/b:7012f602c9]

[b:7012f602c9]Polonia.[/b:7012f602c9] When I put him in the line-up, he took my team from 3rd place back into 1st. Platooning him and Rice gave me a ~28 HRs and 100 RBI effort.

[b:7012f602c9]Slow Go on the Base Paths[/b:7012f602c9]

[b:7012f602c9]Andre Dawson. [/b:7012f602c9] Assuming I had his 49 HR season effort and he did play ~ 2/3 of his games in HR parks, he didn't carry his card's expectations into the season. I moved him into the clean-up slot for some punch but found [b:7012f602c9]Hrbek [/b:7012f602c9]doing a tad better in that role.



PITCHERS

[b:7012f602c9]Champ:[/b:7012f602c9]

Kison. His record speaks for itself and with a cost of $.75m.


[b:7012f602c9]Chump:[/b:7012f602c9]

Tough one but [b:7012f602c9]Reed[/b:7012f602c9] might get the nod here. However, I felt [b:7012f602c9]Soto[/b:7012f602c9] did an average job with his card and became the hard luck loser to too many long balls.


[b:7012f602c9]Played above the Rim[/b:7012f602c9]

[b:7012f602c9]Parrett[/b:7012f602c9]


[b:7012f602c9]Couldn't Pitch but We Needed Him for the Roster Limits[/b:7012f602c9]

[b:7012f602c9]Bair[/b:7012f602c9]. I've drafted this cat every time and I keep failing to learn why he is always available. :roll:

[Rigged Splits]

Congrats to Semper, Panzer, Jablowmi and Jimmy C. Good luck in the playoffs. I sure wish I was there so I could get pounded some more.

[Semper Gumby]

What did I win?

The chance to get pants by Jimmy?

I feel like the fat kid hunting for Snipe!

[Panzer ace]

This was a great league. Good luck to Jimmy, Semper and Jablowmi. (Well not too much :P )
I just hope my teams luck hasnt run out at game 162 like the last league. Come on Hal, show Cadwaleda a little love....dont make me bust out the Jobu.... :shock:

[JIMDAKE]

A great and REALLY enjoyable league! Lots of board activity and relentless player movement (recycling?) til the end.
There won't be an Ankle Biters III, the 47th seed is out (though it looks like hechojazz at 46 is still in). But I have clearly been clobbered by the best!

[Jimmy_C]

My team is resting up tonight while the coaching staff watches the 5th and deciding game between Panzer and Jablowmi on ESPN.

Wondering if they'll go extra innings and give the winners relief staff a lot of work... :D
