did you really just quote yourself to bump that?

No.

You're seeing things.

My pyth record is better, but... Congrats to SF and ChC! Kinda sad for Colorado though...

The AL West was a damn disgrace this season. Granted, I finished second place, ahead of most predictions for me to finish last, but at 74-88, I'm not too proud of that.

At least Schauer is ready to play

[Halladay_is_God]

forgot about this

Arthur Depuy has gained more power!
Arthur Depuy has improved his plate disclipine!

the big Canadian DH improved his talents in power from 9 to 10 and disclipine from 5 to 7, to have 7-7-10-7-7

but he's 27 soon to be 28 at the start of next season

[Providence A's]

I'd just like to mention that I have 3 20-game winners...never happened in this league before. Harden had 23 (5th straight 20-game season), Butler had 21, and Knipp had 20.

Chicago (A) had 2 in 2007 with Oswalt and Prior
Anaheim had 2 in 2011 with Thompson and Oswalt

and that's it...Chicago (A) missed having 2 20-game winners this year with Thompson and Gallardo each having 19.

Only in OOTP where TB can lose Peavy and Miller and still get swept. I liked my team as is. But god damn thats frustrating.

The funny thing is I had a feeling that would happen...Bachelder gave up 7 runs in 1.2 IP against your team his final start too. I had to start Pfarr because I figured 4 or 5 good innings out of him followed by my bullpen would be better than whatever I got out of Lester or Booker. Pfarr did OK though. Now I have Peavy back for the BAL series which is nice...again, I'm not expecting victory, but we'll see what happens.

I'm not looking beyond the Cu-hubs, but if I do beat them I hope I get a rematch with you so I can spank you this time of course, you won't have Miller so it wouldn't quite be the same, but still.

Speaking of Miller...he got his 5th (out of 6) season with 20 or more wins...as many 20 win season as Harden, but he's got almost as many losses (67 vs. 70). He's going to have to continue that pace if he's to have a shot at 300 wins since he'll be 31 next season...I'd be shocked if he didn't get 200 (132 as of now). Harden has 224, but he'll be 34 next season...and he's due for a talent hit soon as it seems players are starting to take hits at 34, but he's so high that he should still be fine.

Outside of getting another WS, getting Harden 300 and Street at least 500 saves (that shouldn't be a problem since he's at 441) are my other 2 goals before I die in OOTP.

I'm not worried about Miller hitting 300...but he should get his 4th Cy this year, and at this pace he's a HoFer barring injury which would be awesome.

[Providence A's]

if he doesn't get 300, then he's going to need 500 saves or 250 wins AND an ERA under 3.50 to get in as those are the settings for pitchers getting into the HoF.

I'm kind of confused by this statement. As my pyth record is 106-56. Unless you meant because I won the Wild Card?

[Providence A's]

I think he meant his was better than SF's and he would have won the division.
