Congrats to everyone who made the cut. Post your rosters here, please. The series are: Cleveland vs Mexico City Richmond vs New York (eYankees) Los Angeles v Houston Atlanta vs Chicago Interesting note: for the first time ever, computer teams actually made the playoffs. Of course, both of these teams were owned a year ago, so perhaps this is more a tribute to the enduring legacies of BGM and Zac .

I want my rotation for the rest of the Stros-Cubs series to look like this: Game 4: Tavarez Game 5: Christiansen Game 6: Maddux Game 7: Wood Just posting it here in case I'm not around in chat when you sim. Basically it's the same as the current 4-man rotation, but Tavarez is bumped up from game 5 to game 4, so he's available if I decide I need him in game 7.
