Its a good start - hopefully we can keep it there. DAY/SIN will be in one day late - so if you are playing against them, please wait until tomorrow night and I will put an updated .ZIP file in place for you. ============================================================================== RECAPS: Write up summaries of the games, and I will put them on the web with the boxscores - adds a little spice to the games, and is definitely worth looking back at! ============================================================================== TEAM WEBPAGES: If you wanna setup a website for your team - let me know and we'll get things setup for you! ============================================================================== Rule Changes for next season: 1) Minimum usage is removed, and you are capped at keeping 20 players on your roster to carryover to the next season. Also, players must be used at least 65% to be available for Post-Season 2) Maximum Usage has been lowered to 125% overall. (Batting usage vsL/vsR is still set to 200% if they have less than 50PA vsL/vsR). 3) Series will happen as 1 6-game series per week for 22 weeks. Then you will have 3 weeks of 3-game series In-Division and then the last 2 weeks are done as 3 2-game series again. 4) Each year, 8 teams will enter the draft lottery which will be unweighted. They will be shuffled around for draft order. (Starts after NEXT season) 5) Draft Order will now go Worst-First - including this season's draft. ============================================================================== COMMISSIONERS ERRORS: SJS takes Fenway Park, Shea Stadium Available CIN Releases Casanova, Drafts Uncard: Chris Holt CIN Releases Branson, Drafts Machado (7th round) MIA Releases Tatis, Drafts Uncard: Mario Valdez ROS Gives: X Hernandez RRX Gives: Gutierrez KAN Gives: Mike Graces ALB Gives: Paul Sorrento TRANSACTIONS: QUI Releases Alberto Castillo DEN Claims Doug Jones, Doug Drabek, Frank Castillo BAN Promotes Guillen, Farms Anderson KAN Claims Eduardo Perez, releases Bob Patterson TRADES: ============================================================================== CURRENT ISBL STANDINGS: ----------------------- AL East: Win Los PCT% GBL NEXT NL East: Win Los PCT% GBL NEXT ---------------- --- --- ---- --- ---- ---------------- --- --- ---- --- ---- Vengers Ros 4 2 .667 - @Day Goldminers Dhl 4 2 .667 - Cin Meat Possums Man 3 3 .500 1 @SKY Peaches Mac 4 2 .667 - Sac Inferno Mia 2 4 .333 2 Mil Landsharks Alb 3 3 .500 1 @Car Snake Eyes SSS 0 6 .000 4 Kan Gangsters ChG 3 3 .500 1 Haz AL Central: Win Los PCT% GBL NEXT NL Central: Win Los PCT% GBL NEXT ---------------- --- --- ---- --- ---- ---------------- --- --- ---- --- ---- Skykings SKY 5 1 .833 - Man Hurricanes Car 4 2 .667 - @Alb Blizzard BLI 3 3 .500 2 SJ Skyliners ChS 3 3 .500 1 Den Toodies Day 0 0 .000 2 Ros Panthers Cin 3 3 .500 1 @Dhl Law Dogs Kan 1 5 .167 4 @SSS Whackers Haz 2 4 .333 2 @ChG AL West: Win Los PCT% GBL NEXT NL West: Win Los PCT% GBL NEXT ---------------- --- --- ---- --- ---- ---------------- --- --- ---- --- ---- Braves Mil 6 0 1.00 - @Mia Raccoons ARI 3 3 .500 - RRX Bandits BAN 4 2 .667 2 SIN Kings Sac 3 3 .500 - @Mac Sinners SIN 0 0 .000 3 @BAN Railbenders RRX 2 4 .333 1 @Ari Silicoids SJ 2 4 .333 4 @BLI Mad Dogs Den 2 4 .333 1 @ChS ============================================================================== WEEK 1 SCORES: -------------- .-----------------------------------------------------------------------. | AL | R H E | R H E | R H E | R H E | R H E | R H E | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Bli | 3 8 0 | 7 7 0 | 10 13 1 | 5 12 1 | 9 12 1 | 6 9 0 | | Man | 7 9 0 | 4 10 1 | 3 4 0 | 6 11 0 | 5 10 1 | 7 10 0 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Day | | | | | | | | SIN | | | | | | | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| | SKY | 9 14 2 | 3 7 1 | 4 4 1 | 21 22 1 | 7 9 0 | 7 8 0 | | Kan | 4 5 0 | 1 4 0 | 6 5 1 | 8 13 2 | 3 5 1 | 1 2 1 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| | BAN | 3 9 0 | 7 18 1 | 5 10 1 | 4 9 0 | 1 9 1 | 11 18 0 | | SJ | 5 8 1 | 5 11 0 | 3 10 0 | 3 7 1 | 4 9 0 | 3 12 0 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Mia | 5 17 1 | 1 10 0 | 5 9 1 | 6 15 0 | 6 13 2 | 3 11 1 | | Ros | 3 9 0 | 6 12 0 | 7 13 1 | 3 8 1 | 12 14 1 | 5 5 1 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| | SSS | 3 6 0 | 1 6 1 | 4 7 2 | 4 7 0 | 2 4 0 | 4 9 2 | | Mil | 4 5 1 | 13 13 1 | 10 13 1 | 8 15 1 | 3 6 0 | 5 13 1 | `-----------------------------------------------------------------------' .-----------------------------------------------------------------------. | NL | R H E | R H E | R H E | R H E | R H E | R H E | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Mac | 6 12 0 | 3 9 1 | 6 11 1 | 8 14 2 | 9 17 1 | 10 14 0 | | Haz | 8 8 1 | 5 8 0 | 3 12 1 | 3 8 0 | 4 5 2 | 8 14 2 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Dhl | 4 11 0 | 6 9 0 | 2 4 0 | 4 13 2 | 7 14 2 | 1 3 3 | | RRX | 3 5 0 | 11 13 0 | 0 1 0 | 3 5 1 | 4 7 2 | 7 13 0 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| | ChG | 0 5 1 | 7 10 0 | 9 12 1 | 0 5 0 | 2 4 0 | 4 11 0 | | Alb | 3 5 0 | 6 9 0 | 6 9 0 | 11 18 0 | 7 15 0 | 3 10 0 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Ari | 6 11 0 | 7 8 0 | 7 10 1 | 0 5 1 | 6 13 0 | 3 14 1 | | Sac | 3 10 0 | 6 10 0 | 8 11 2 | 3 7 0 | 3 5 1 | 4 15 1 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| | ChS | 1 5 0 | 2 7 0 | 4 9 0 | 9 17 0 | 0 2 1 | 9 15 0 | | Cin | 5 8 0 | 3 7 1 | 1 4 0 | 8 14 2 | 2 7 1 | 6 8 1 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Car | 6 12 0 | 4 4 0 | 2 9 1 | 4 7 1 | 6 8 0 | 3 7 1 | | Den | 4 7 1 | 5 10 0 | 4 5 1 | 2 6 2 | 4 10 2 | 1 10 1 | `-----------------------------------------------------------------------'
