Thanks for coining the phrase "doing an Astral"..... I just hope it's not a 1 season thing. Hoping I can maintain next year. Goodluck to you down there. Looking forward to seeing you again.

...I really though Rocket was destined for the NBBA by now the way that team just zoomed up and kept on rolling...


Thanks, but just lucky so far. Don't be surprised if I drop to III next season! :) There's not much chance of sustaining my progress with my current roster - I still lack a very good PG, so I am trying to save up for one, but I also need to expand my arena by another 25% over next season. Liquidity is always an issue.

From my observation, the toughest thing about dropping to DIII is going to be the revenue drop - if more than 1 season, to get back up to II, I think I would have to turnover my team on a rolling basis so it is going to be much more time-consuming to play the game. I thought Chaos Lord did a very successful job as an example - he dropped to my old III league and is back here in II with a very strong defensive team.

Also, I believe there are some III leagues where the competition is very stiff, no less so than in II. Hopefully no one ends up in those.

Based on your performance, I'd put you up for manager of the year for the league...

Keep up the good work.

Thanks, I appreciate the support. Going to be very tough to keep it going though. I hate the offseason..... Wish we were starting up already.

Congratulations to Kzarik. I tempted fate with the 7th seed one too many times. It's been fun and hope to see you all in a couple seasons.

This has been quite a good few days for TWSS. I win Game 1 of the finals against petersburg on the road, Dan Billingsley gets called up by the USA NT for the semifinals against Argentina, and today I noticed that somehow I'm ranked #4 in the US (wha?!?!). Haha I'll take it.

You know what this means: Dan blows the NT game, gets injured for weeks, I lose both games to petersburg, and my impending fire sale demotes me to III after next season. I can see it now...

I was very surprised with the Game One ratings.

Where did you pull a prolific outside offense from? Did you manage to pull some pops from the creaking bones of Billingsley and Taurins? I figured Zito would be a big force for Petersburg, but not as much in Game 1.

Rating is heavily dependent on the Cup - so not surprised you were so high. Still, #4 is great.

And yes, somewhere Dan will play great, yet miss a key FT...

As for a fire sale, the salary changes this season have eliminated the end of the season fire sale that was so great for picking up players on the cheap as people needed to move salary to pay the bills. I think this week was my most profitable week all season without salaries to pay!

Congrats to TWSS for pulling out a double OT thriller against Petersburg to claim the championship! In first ot, down 5 with 20 seconds left, comes back to tie it and then win in second ot. Good luck on DI. I think Petersburg might advance as well in a rare double promotion from one dII.

Billingsly was clearly MVP in the finals.
