I guess I just like some sort of the game being "real". I know the stats can get crazy... but Barry Bonds was a home run hitter, etc. Just ask anyone that loves baseball but never played SOM... name the top fifty relief pitchers of all time... you would never hear "Dale Murray. Ever. In this game he is a Hall of Famer.

The other issue you are seeing goes back from 10 years or so where apparently Nev has fairly consistently beaten Charlie and Im not entirely certain Charlie enjoys that.

Remind me what year Nev won the Barnstormers tournament? Was that before or after Charlie won it?

He wouldn't have won it if I was in it. :mrgreen:

But seriously, it's interesting how some here measure SOM success only by the BS tour (emphasis on BS, lol) I have never blown my horn...yet so many here use me as a measuring stick of their success.

You are the man. No manager alive can get more out of Kevin Brown ($8.61M version) than you.

and you miss on Murray who do you target next?

Just about any reliever in the first page of relievers who is more than R2 as planned setup.
Just about any S/R who is in the top half of the relievers free agent page.

Murray is great, but there are many other options that are not that far behind. Getting Murray by no means guarantees a championship, especially if your entire strategy revolved around getting that one card.

Errr ummm, I was responding to your cheap shot at Charlie concluding that this disagreement is due to jealousy of Nev's success. As a past Barnstormers champion, why would he be jealous? It wasn't that hard to follow.

http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/league/402194

We competed in a 12 season league that fell apart when people quit after a few seasons

The thundering herd challenges were always fun:
http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/league/98923

I did make the finals league with Bobby three times in the good people tournament but I don't think Nev entered
http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/league/420629
http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/league/397609
http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/league/50180

This was a league where you picked your opponents park for them
http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/league/398330

I don't play many 200 million leagues here Nev used to like them is all my 200 million teams
http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/league/6161
http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/league/69600
http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/league/109605
No Nev but one of my few leagues with Salty

http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/league/329039
http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/league/329043

http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/league/329025
200 million challenge where you played 2 teams,
http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/league/347868

http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/league/391780
http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/league/412569
200 million everyone had to take West side Nev in my division


http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/league/420154

You can tell Nev started the league by the title
http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/league/138709
http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/league/109445
http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/league/140569

Salty had a good team here
http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/league/141431
Salty won the title without even being there for the live draft !
http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/league/152689


Live draft here got my head handed to me
http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/league/74503

The challenge from Moose to beat him to a pulp Nev and I joined in the fun
http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/league/143729

Some random general league
http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/league/143630
http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/league/149949
http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/league/147429
http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/league/164349

As you can see Nev is quite good, but I don't see nor remember him beating me to a pulp on a consistent basis.

I have faced Nev in finals twice and won both times. I am the best Strato manager to ever live. :lol:

Let's not talk about all those leagues where he won the finals while I was watching on TV. ;)
