Is this the year that the NL finally takes a second World Series? (no)

I didn't expect my team to be hot garbage, but then again, I also figured I would check on 'em an appropriate number of times, so... oops, my bad. Had I remembered how bad I thought the division was going to be, I might have, though! Anyway, here's how the lottery looks atm:

code:

	Team			Owner	Record	GB
1. St. Louis Budweisers		EB	36-73	--
2. Boston Funky Bunch		murph	41-68	5
3. Cincinnati Dead Air		Pecota	42-67	6
4. Philadelphia Whiz Wits	me	43-66	7
5. New York Exxon Valdez	kensei	44-65	8
6. Washington St. Claires	Nero	45-64	9
-----
T-7. Pittsburgh Alleghenys	Ivan	50-59	14
T-7. NY Toot Toot We're Trains	AU	50-59	14

I think it's gonna be a helluva battle to see how 2-6 shakes out. May the... best... tanker... win?

In fact it has done quite the opposite. Not Enos's fault, but the rest of my team has started to suck.

whooo nero gets my lovely lottery draft pick (I swear I did not at all intend to be terrible this season, my pitching was really bad and I'm not entirely sure why)

# ? May 10, 2014 05:33

Zamboni Jesus: Jul 3, 2007; We don't really care about what that bug-eyed fat walrus has to say

this was my lowest scoring team since season 3 apparently, too bad finally scraping together a mostly competent pitching staff corresponded with my offense beginning its precipitous decline

I was about to announce that I was gonna blow everything up and shoot for the '54 draft because obviously my pitching's gonna suck like heck again next season but then I realized that holy poo poo my offense could be absurdly badass enough for it to not really matter sometimes and now I have no idea what to do

# ? May 10, 2014 07:53

saffi faildotter: Mar 2, 2007

Third straight year and fourth overall with more than 200 home runs in a season (also fifth consecutive leading the league), Detroit also still holds the single season team record with 241 back in 1950

honestly going out 4-0 is preferable to losing 4-3 with a crushing game 7 to me. especially because i've already done that before in this league
