[quote:8fa26d1069="Rigged Splits"]I was going to pick up Smithson! :x I'm going to have to pound him tonight if you start him. :twisted:[/quote:8fa26d1069]

Not a difficult task, but I'm going to let Smithson rest a little longer. You get a pristine Sanderson tonight! Luckily (for you), you also get Floyd Bannister, who I just can't seem to drop.

I hope Sanderson is replacing Reuss and not Lollar. You've got to find out What Lollar can do. Besides, a real man would pitch him. :P

[Rigged Splits]

Now Jablowmi picks up Bedrosian! I should be picking up crappy pitchers instead of trying to trade for a decent one. I know no one is going to give up anyone this late! :cry:

I almost dumped Welch for a high-priced, and much needed, RP, which would have put Lollar in my (5 man) rotation, but thought better of it. Bedrock, Caudill and B Jones, it is.

Yikes ... no job security in the Jablowmi camp and I think this is killing the economy and raising the price of gas!

:shock:

[JIMDAKE]

Tweaking of the Ankle Biters, hoping to gnaw an extra couple of games away from everybody in the East and move on! Will Ken Oberkfell be the onbase machine the team's needed all year? Will Ron Jackson be a great poor-man's Armas? Can anyone possibly be worse than Dale Mahorcic out of the pen? Will Wegman get out all these leftie-stacked lineups or just be gasoline?? Could any of these moves possibly be worse than about everything else I've tried this season? Oh, and will the Central and West pound anyone out so 2-3-4 in the East aren't consigned to Consolation League II?

Well, 0-3 vs Panzer in this last round of divisional matchups...dropping to 11th in the league.

I think this is what I get for giving Jose Uribe 322 at-bats thus far this year and sticking with Warren Brustar's 6.12 ERA for 40+ innings...

[BC Manager]

RS, see my message in league mail.

[Jimmy_C]

I wish the rest of my pitching staff could pitch like Luis Leal (12-0, 2.51 ERA), and that the rest of my hitters could hit like Damon Berryhill (.299 BA, .504 SLG, .346 OBP).

Yikes!!

1 week left and everyone is still in contention to move to round three!


[b:b51c07d114]RULES[/b:b51c07d114]

[b:b51c07d114]AUTODRAFT[/b:b51c07d114]

[b:b51c07d114]1st ROUND [/b:b51c07d114]

Teams will be placed in brackets in the field of 36 or 48. The brackets will be seeded as follows: if we have 48 (4 brackets of 12), I will take the top 12 from the TSN manager rankings and seed them as follows: league 1 - manager 1, 8 and 9 (E, C and W); league 2 - manager 2, 7 and 10; league 3 - manager 3, 6 and 11; and league 4 - manager 4, 5 and 12. If we have 36 (3 brackets of 12), I will seed only the top 9 in a similar fashion. Then, we'll allow the remaining players on the list to fill out the remainder of the bracket.

[b:b51c07d114]2nd ROUND [/b:b51c07d114]

All playoff teams will advance automatically to the next round. If the field is 48, 5 additional teams in each bracket - determined by best record (tiebreakers below) - will also advance (giving us a field of 36).

Once we have a field of 36 (or if we start at 36), the four playoff teams will advance along with 4 additional teams in each bracket - determined by best record (giving us a field of 24). The field will be re-seeded after each round, not based on manager ratings, but on record in the previous bracket. Playoff teams will get higher "status."

[b:b51c07d114]FINAL[/b:b51c07d114]

The eight playoff teams will advance along with 2 additional teams from each bracket to give us the final 12. Again, the teams will be seeded based on performance in the field of 24.

[b:b51c07d114]TIEBREAKERS[/b:b51c07d114]

1. Head to head
2. Run differential
3. Pick 3 lottery

[b:b51c07d114]STADIUMS[/b:b51c07d114]

Parks will not be designated, but a different park must be chosen by each manager in each round. Players in a single bracket can have the same park.

[b:b51c07d114]PRIZES[/b:b51c07d114]

Certainly optional, but it would be cool if we could purchase a 5 pack for the winner. We'd only need to collect $2/3 from each player and I'd provide my Paypal account.
