You're going to owe me a dinner or something at the end of this thing... you're 18-15 against the rest of the league. But, yes, i'll take your advice. I have claims on top pitchers every day, but haven't focused enough on the free agents sleepers

I'm sure i'm basically out of this race, but i can't let it go quite yet.

Only real race left is who will relegate in the West, Oak Park or Grand Prairie. I've been starting my youngsters for the last several series, including a 20 year old who already got the "learned all he can" at the AAA level. It was a short run for me here in IV.4 and really pretty disastrous from the beginning. But i showed signs of hope in the middle and learned quite a bit about managing my team in my first full season here at BB, not the least of which was "stay out of the prediction business" Best of luck next season, IV.4!

The pitchers couldn't pitch for anything after the All-Star Break, which really disappointed me because I thought I had an actual chance of promoting this season. I'll have another chance of promoting next season.

I thought we might have been able to catch you in the last few weeks of the regular season, but you guys and Brownsville were too strong in the final stretch.
