I will have voting open til Sunday at midnight eastern.

This has really been a disappointing first half for the Tigers. I'm second in the American League in runs scored and have allowed the fewest runs. My run differential is +82 while the teams ahead of me are +60 and +31. I keep thinking I'm going to turn things around but instead I just keep slipping further behind. I keep waiting to run off a couple of 9-1 or 8-2 sims and it just isn't happening. I may need to look into changing things up as we head into the second half.

Don't feel bad Dan. The first season my run differential was 160, yet I finished third behind the Rams (-23) and the Bums (+105). So it can certainly happen.

The Tigers Harry Howell came within an eyelash of a no hitter against my Express on June 30th. Jimmy Sheckard beat out an infield hit in the first inning, and that's the only hit the Express were able to muster.

At long last I have every team page updated on our league website. Check it out gentlemen.

Very nice Rich! Looks great.

[rmadachik]

just a reminder -voting for allstars ends on sunday at midnight. Please take some time to put together a ballot before then.

Tennessee came out strong posting an 8-2 sim to move into a tie for 2nd in the AL. Detroit sits a game back of the wildcard despite having a league best run differential of 101 runs.

Seattle and Kalamazoo both went 6-4 to keep things unchanged in the AL - Kalamazoo is 1 game up and Seattle is 12 games ahead of 3rd place Cleveland

Team stats and usage

[rmadachik]

Detroit posted an 8-2 sim to finally make some noise in the AL putting them 4 games behind the Inmates, and 3 games ahead of Tennessee and Jamestown while the Bums sit 4 games back.

In the NL, Seattle continued to roll with a 7-3 sim moving back into 1st - a game up on Kalamazoo.

Way to go Dragons! I saw the Kumquats as heavy favorites coming in, but I'm starting to believe my boys can pull it off now.

Rich, here's something that may sound like a dumb request. I really can't remember the names of most of our owners, or more correctly- attach them to their teams.

Is it possible to attach the owners' names somewhere for easy reference? For example, in the league standings which are posted after each sim, could it make sense to put the owners' names beside their respective teams?

I find this to be very frustrating. Perhaps it's not a problem for most of you guys because you've been involved in the other league together.

So- is there a simple fix for this?

Thanks.

[rmadachik]

I created a team and owner thread with each team name and owner name.

Mark - Could you please sticky that thread for me?

That's why I put my team names in the tag after my signature.

Well well well . . . things got really interesting over in the AL. Jamestown went 9-1 and both Detroit and Lighthouse Point went 7-3, while the Inmates posted a 4-6 sim. That left the Inmates only one game up on Detroit, while the Express sit 2 games out of first, and the Bums are now only 5 games out of first.

Meanwhile, over in the NL, Seattle and Kalamazoo were the only teams to post winning sims (Both going 7-3)

Usage and team stats

[rmadachik]

We are at August 10th now. September 1st is the trading dadline (2 more sims left till then)

[BigRon]

I created a team and owner thread with each team name and owner name.

Mark - Could you please sticky that thread for me?

Thanks for doing that, Rich.

[rmadachik]

A couple events happened recently that I wanted to announce.

First - New Orleans Barons Tommy Leach hit for the cycle against the Bums

Second - Dragons OF Sam Crawford hit 2 triples in 2 consecutive days.

Congrats to both players

[dust bunnies]

The Kumquats are placing Casey Patten on the trading block. He is signed for $2.00M through the 1905 season. What are we looking for in return? Value in 1904 and beyond.

The Tigers are looking to deal for an OF/DH type player before the trade deadline.

[catcher24]

Nice to see an Express player picked as Batter of the Month. Jimmy deserves it; he (along with Harry Wolverton) has been pretty much carrying the offensive load for the Express, so thanks for picking him.
