Week 7 Uploading tonight

Week 7 is uploading tonight. Week 8 is scheduled for Saturday.

I am back

I am back online (in a still limited fashion) and will be running another week's worth of games over the next day or two. The updated stats will be uploaded then...so watch for that.

Week 6 Upload

Week 6 will upload tonight. The player pages may not be included. Since we are moving there will be a small hiatus in the season. We are killing our internet tomorrow morning and packing the computer shortly after. We likely will not be online again until next Sunday or Monday.

You will know if the stat pages are updated because they will be a different color.

Commish Tips

Don't forget to look at your team page regularly. It has your roster and lineups, links to various reports about your team and e-mails. E-mails can be status updates from the minor league managers or trade offers from computer teams.

As an example, this is one this last week to the Seattle owner:
DATE: Friday, 5/3/2006
Trade offer
Dear Sir,
I would like to offer you following trade:
SS Moises Machado
in return for
SP Scott Shrewsbury.

Please let me know if you accept!

Best Regards,
Arizona GM

Look at the players being offered (sometimes they are in the minors) and see if it is a trade you want to accept. If so, just let me know so I can enter it in the system.

Week 5 is up

I have to apologize for the delay. I have been having connection problems at home. Week 5 is up. Week 6 I hope to have uploaded tonight before we pack the computer up for our move this week.

Week 4 Stats Uploading

Week 4 stats are uploading overnight tonight.

Don't forget that you can propose trades with a computer-owned team. The computer will evaluate the trade offers and either accept it or deny it.

Week 3 Stats Uploaded

Week 3 team stats have been uploaded. The player stats are being uploaded right now. (I started the upload at midnight and it is about 1/2 done.)

If you have any questions let me know. Week 4 will be run tonight.

Breaking News...

Hey managers,
Don't forget to check your team update pages (found on the right column). After Week 2 one of our managers players won Player of the Week Awards.

SS Alex Ramirez (BOS) !!
He batted .480 in 25 AB, with 4 HR and 10 RBI.

You can see news like this reported either on the Team Update Page (for Boston's click here), the Breaking News page which is like a short newspaper write up, or the General News page where the latest news is at the bottom of the page.

And for those of you who check the Week 2 News it is reporting a National League Player of the Week winner from Boston. The player is actually on Atlanta's team and I am looking into this problem.

Week 2 Stats completed

The week 2 stats have been uploaded. Week 3 will be run Thursday or Friday. The stats will be uploaded immediately after the run. Week 4 will be run the day after Week 3 stats are uploaded. By Tuesday morning Week 4 should be uploaded.

Tommy, just so you know, the Seattle Mariners lineup changes will take affect in Week 3.

Week 1 upload progress report

The upload of all of the team and league stats for Week 1 are online. This includes box scores & play-by-play (aka logs).

Player stats will be uploaded throughout the day and evening.

Keep in mind that player ratings are on two different scales...A (best) - F (worst) and 1 (worst) - 10 (best). These do not change during the season.

Week 1 has been completed

Week 1 has been run and is being uploaded today (I can upload it while I am in training).

One thing that will be up possibly tonight are the boxscores for the games run. Also uploaded with the boxscores will be the play-by-play. Let me know if they are helpful. If not I will not have them created beyond the April games.

Of the human run teams all but one are at or above .500 after the first week. Good luck everyone.
