Ok, I'll give it until Thursday. If no one has replied, this is what we'll do with the Tigers.
Since Pete beat them, I'll just autoloss every game with them. Essentially when the series comes around and you face the Tigers, you get 3 wins. I don't WANT to do that... hopefully the people a had on waiting contact me ASAP.

Well hey, it looks like I took one out of three from you, ha! Better than none.
Pete, look like it's you and me next. Tonight will be tough, but after that, I'm good any evening and all weekend.

No one stepped up to take the Tigers, so I'm autolossing them.
Ok there's only one series left: KanZolo (Phillies) vs. Square Triangle (Cubs). After tonight I'm autoresolving your series. I know you guys have been busy but the league started June 5th and we're still on our 1st series... I think I've given more than enough time.

EDIT: Remember for those I've auto-played games for, you have to start with your #4 starter!

Game 4, Series 2
Mets - 2 - 6 - 0
Giants - 0 - 1 - 0
Final
Man I had two guys thrown out at home, lucky Wright managed to hit one out. Chris Young flirted with a no-no, I wish he wasn't injured in real life. :C

Do you play any RTTS? If you use a decent slider set I find it improves my batter eye much better in judging ball/strikes. Online tends to be crap since so many people junkball...Corran Horn said:
Speaking of did the Giants use some of that RoTY Posey money to pay the umps? How many calls did your pitchers get? And my guys got squeezed!

Blah.
Reds over Cubs 7-2. Game was awesome going into the 8th 1-2 and then the hits came and balks. -_-
Good game though LJ, I gotta gain more patience with you dancing at the bottom of the zone.

Lag = Balks
We had a decent game going 2-1 in the 8th, lag notwithstanding, and then it was balk city. I did take a risk with 2-1, hit a shot to center that went by Byrd, easy triple but I turned into an inside the park HR so it was 2-2. Then it was balk after balk, lag was probably the reason. Shitty fucking ending.
I couldn't take the risk going up in the zone after I hung the slider and you crushed another inside fastball out of the park. Lag was giving me trouble with the release point, so I was going to live at the knees or you were going to fucking bury me if I kept hanging meatballs over the middle.

Omg when Byrd missed that I wanted to drive to Wrigley and piss on the gate. I knew it was ungood as soon as he missed it. Risk was worth the reward though for sure.
Yeah I was having issues with the release point as well. Hardly the issue compared to four runs balked in.

I couldn't find my ethernet cable, IIRC I think my puppy chewed the shit out of it. So I was still using wireless and aside from a couple pitches here are there at release- the connection was good.
Yeah, that 8th inning double balk all I could say was "Here we go again". Good game LJ

Wait WTF just happened?
Ummm... I think the league somehow autoresolved a few series, which doesn't makes sense because I don't have in on...

I've been trying to read up on what happened here so I can fix it... I'm going to reset those games.eznark said:
Also, in case something is screwy with the league, please guys try to get your games in during the time period. I don't know if this is the game borking or what, but I KNOW I did not put AutoResolve on.
EDIT: Okay it's Sony San Diego incompetence. WHY THE FUCK IS IT SKIPPING GAMES??? HOLY SHIT!

Ez, I'm fixing everything now. Also I'm going to start requiring people post/PM me about games soon. I have NO IDEA what some of the new guys are doing. League started the 6th and we are still on Series 2... not good.

Game 6, Series 2
Mets - 1 - 4 - 0
Giants - 0 - 1 - 0
Final
GG. Santana gets his revenge in the rematch with Lincecum. It helped that I did a RTTS marathon yesterday for the first time in awhile. I was getting lazy with moving my thumb for the PCI and I wasn't squaring the ball up.

Hey, sorry dude my father in law got thrown from a horse so I spent the night hanging out with him to make sure he didn't have a concussion. Then my wifes-sisters husband almost rolled a tractor. To top the evening off my in-laws dog got into a fight-to-the-death with a coyote. (The lab destroyed that fucking mongrel).
Our wives should never, ever leave us alone. I'm going to fucking bed.

Couldnt you always play the series that is next in the flex? Or is it just 2 series at a time?The Frankman said:
The Frankman

I really don't want to flex because if we can't get 3 games in 5 days routinely, what makes you think the stragglers can get 3 games in the next series? or the series after that etc.? We'll have single games left stretching in other series.Corran Horn said:
to point it out again, in 24 days we are still on Series 2. If we had 5 day increments we should be ready to wrap up Series 5 by now. Even with the extra time alotted to the 1st series we should be on at least Series 4.

Why am I being told I have "invalid lineups"? I moved a couple of guys up/down to AAA, but I still have 25 on the MLB roster.
Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out.

Good game, Pete, I wish I'd hung in a little better... after getting annihilated in the 3rd, I kind of lost it and started swinging at everything. I probably shouldn't be using one of the worst teams since I'm not that great anyway! Good luck in the series, man.

... what sched are you looking at? Eznark is supposed to play 1 more vs. Kanzolo. Still on series 2... with what's going in with ez's family I'm giving him extra time.LJ11 said:
