*briefly re-assumes the mantle* Relievers can't be set to be against righties or lefties and the first round is best of five carry on
Okay, thanks Zac. I guess I was thinking about the 1st round of the NBA playoffs going from best of five to best of seven and thinking it was the same in baseball. Chalk it up to inexperience on my part.

1. Pedro 2. Person 3. Lowe? (I counted out the days and it came down to the offday between 2 and 3 would be the last day of the 5th week) 4. Pedro etc.
If I ain't around, please feel free to sim out any and all of my elimination games. Jeff Weaver is the only pitcher I want handled specially, if that's possible. If we're trying to stave off elimination, he can pitch game 6. Otherwise, please save him for the Pedro vs Dreamweaver match-up in Game 7. If that's not possible, it's no biggie.
That goes for me as well, feel free to sim my elimination games if Pued and Vick want to go beyond that.
