    Son of a *****. I make some big changes, go 9-1 and went from being 2.0 games back to 1.0 game back as Durham also went 9-1 in their last 10.

    Re: 2011 Mumblings and Grumblings

    let's see...essentially the same playoff caliber team returns with some bullpen help added through FA and trade (which weren't much help) and Pritchett loses 21 games. Yeah, that seems about right Seasons of 19 - 7 & 2.88, 18 - 9 & 2.44, 20 - 12 & 2.69, and 23 - 9 & 3.41...14 - 21 & 5.21 this season. Bullshit I guess maybe his stuff and movement falling to 9's for no reason instead of the 10's that they were is the only explanation that I can come up with for such a pitiful performance. Hopefully, he ****ing rebounds next season. He's only 27!

    1st to worst 7th/8th pick next season. I guess we'll just ride it out. My fan interest went down so I'm not going to be able to add much without going into debt potentially. And it's not like these guys improved their trade value. We're stuck OOTP purgatory [/*****ING]

    99-63, can't say I'm unhappy with that.
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    Well, faltered toward the stretch. Still, 20 game improvement over last season and I didn't have to spend a fortune to do it.

    With all my players randomly losing talent and ratings for no apparent reason my plan of sticking with my roster until contracts run out (as if I had another choice) isn't going to work out so well even if I am moved to a weaker division.

    You found us out bro. I suppose you have seen the black helicoptors hovering over the SBSL Corporate Towers the past few days.

    They looked more like blimps, than helicopters.

    Re: 2011 Mumblings and Grumblings

    why do ratings keep going down? I don't get it. I've never seen it happen like this before. It's happening as if aging was sped up.

    in the last 2 sims alone:

    Pritchett lost a control point (has lost one each this season)
    Hermida lost a contact and a power point
    Devine lost a stuff point
    Owens lost a contact and an eye point

    Bay has been doing that, but he is 33.. that's not that old though, only to NYGF. I guess it's not that bad, Gordon losing talent lowered his asking price, heh. o_o

    my big 3 of Pritchett, Hermida, and Burdette all have lost ratings in multiple categories this season. All were only 27 years old this season. I just don't get it at all. I wonder if it is OOTP 6, but with guys in their early 30s dying off it makes it seem like aging is accelerated, but Crazy has said it isn't
