Sorry, I just checked in after an afternoon of basketball... I'll post in a minute. It looks like Houston isn't on anyway. BTW, I am shocked!

[Providence A's]

there's no rush...whenever everyone is ready. I have to wait for Baltimore and Tampa Bay, too.

[OrioleMagic]

Well, I gotta go with Zambrano... I can't look past Houston. Everything else the same.

[BuckFoston]

I just got home, I'll get it to you as soon as soon as the Titans game is over...

[Providence A's]

Hopefully, I'll be able to sim tomorrow...just waiting on Houston.

[BuckFoston]

Eric "Franchise" Bearce...on the mound for me and the lineup the same...

[Providence A's]

OK, that is how your rotation is setup anyway so I'll sim tonight and then post the playoff threads...I'll update the site as well.

Congrats to Houston...though your team was setup from previous owners and the computer running FA, but congrats nonetheless. Congrats to Colorado on making it this far.

[OrioleMagic]

Thanks. I was shocked to even be in the game. So Congratulations to Houston and Best Wishes. Colorado showed promise and that is hopefully something that can be built on.
