I guess I can take the chance he won't win 13 straight. I most likely wont be on later. Need to cook and then catch up on some sleep before a long weekend.

I'd like to play if possible, but if the lag is too much, we can sim. I just want to make sure I win the division. If I lose these two and the pirates win their last 13, I think he wins the division.
you've got nothing to worry about.

I'm okay with simming. I've been focused on platinuming FIFA 14.

HTT, let me know if you need me to go beat the Rays though.

It would be nice if you could finish off that series and beat them. Where I sit I think best we can do is tie. If tie breaker is head to head I got it but don't trust that.

You've only got 2 games left, and you're up 3 in the loss column. You have them beat.

Well you guys chime in and vote to Sim the rest on continue to play.

However, if one person wants the extra time to finish games off I will give them until the weekend. Regardless the playoffs will start Monday at the latest.

Here's the current situation and what's left up for grabs.

Dodgers have 12 remaining and the Astros have 9. That division is not yet decided.

Brewers have 3 remaining and Pirates have 13. Pirates aren't mathematically out of the division, but are very much in the heat of the race for the final playoff spot with another user (Astros).

Nats and Braves are locked into the playoffs, with the Nats having the division.

Now NL seedings are still up for grabs with the exception of the Nats who I believe have 1st locked up.

In the AL really the only race is for a seeding involving me. If I win my next two I would host the wild card over the rangers.

With all that up for grabs I think it's best we give everyone the weekend to play it out. And in that time if me and the Twins can get in our final 2 then great.

I know we are all ready to get into the playoffs but we have played out over 80 games, no need to rush it and screw up what the results should be just to get that started.

Now if all the teams I mentioned say to just Sim then I Sim but Hart has already said to give him the weekend.

Playoffs will begin Monday at the very latest.

I'm out of school, but I'll probably be staying a little later at work. Still should have plenty of time to play during the week.

I am expecting to lose a few, but I know we have a good enough core to keep going. I am working on getting new members for next season already.

With the guys we have I am certain this can continue many many seasons and be one of the best online franchises out there.

I think we need to put a system in place for the playoffs for games that crap out. That way if anything happens there is a rule in place that's black and white and we are consistent across the board.

I say any game that freezes before the 5th must be replayed.

Any game that freezes after 5 complete with a team having a 4 run lead, that team gets the win.

Thoughts?

Let's adopt the rain delay rules. I believe it's the 6th inning and later, the game can be called. Otherwise, it's postponed and replayed at a later date.

But what's to stop a user from being up 1 in the 6th and pulling the plug to get the win? That's why I went with after 5 (meaning the start of the 6th) with a user up 4. The other user should feel comfortable enough that he will get the win to not pull a fast one and if something does happen the game was pretty much in hand anyway. That was my thinking.

Yea I see what you're saying. I would just hope that we all have enough integrity to not pull some bush league shite like that However I know that the playoffs are a different beast and it makes people do and say things that they wouldn't have said in any other setting.

I can personally gaurantee that AT LEAST 1 person will be called out for doing something "questionable". It's just the nature of the beast. Everyone wants to win.
