BMO: Yes, We're Actually Playing Now.

The sim has finally started, and I think we all owe Hazy a big thanks for all his click-by-click-by-click-by-click-by-click work to get the teams transferred. That can't have been a picnic. Give yourself a couple mil there Hazy, I'm sure no one would protest too much.
Anywho, now that we're all in the NL, this should be an interesting sim, with the robots duking it out in the AL. I'm not too excited about the idea of getting dominated by the NL West powers, but it should be a good time anyway. At least I'll finally be able to knock Stein down a few pegs, was gettin tired of him winning all the time. And the rest of you should as well. Fix that San Diego pitching staff oneguy, and that team could challenge him.
The Central looks scary, just looking at 3E8's salary and cash he can blow for the next few years. I'm not gonna miss you in the slightest in the AL East sir. Rhubarb, welcome back, it's your time to shine and play some low salary baseball to it's finest if you want to survive there. Same with you Egus.
The Senators in the NL East are looking awful good, and I for one would like to see threerun lose after pestering me all last season. Treehouse I expect you to get those Mets up and running again and destroy them soon. Boujourma, right that damn Florida ship and get it running again. Make it a tight division.
Anywho looking forward to playing with you all again. And if whoever makes it to the world series loses to the computer, I think they should automatically get docked 20mil. Who's with me???

WHY DOES MY TEAM SUCK!?
BRANDON WOOD IS MY SS.
It came from afar and traveled sedately on, a shrug of eternity
Brandon responds well to criticism
Hit .447 in his first 9 games.
Add a real CF (Herrera jumps up and down) and you’ll have a pretty good lineup.

the pittsburgh (it is pronounced burr-ah, thanks) are open for business.
need to do some retooling, the previous tenant was seemingly too concerned with adhering to pittsburghian reality, i.e. many of the first-round draft picks have failed to live up to expectations or have been rushed to the majors.
The White Sox transplant is confusing
but funny.

you'll have to let a bunch of players go. even paying them off to start saving the cash up again.
that or, as rhub says, jumpt to another team.
wow, great sim last night
went 5-5 and lost my best two SPs for 2 weeks and my closer for 3. at least the all star break is coming up
At the half-way point
None of the Skynet teams are good at run prevention, but the Toronto and Cleveland borgs can put runs on the board.
In the human league, my Nats are the surprise team of the year but our success may partially be an illusion. My win totals are fattened up by feasting on the weak sisters of the NL East.

That offer is still just sitting there. Did you want to send a counter? If you do decide to accept it, give me a heads up first, so I don’t log on one day to find the make up of my team drastically changed.

I can rid myself of the curse that is Pete Orr if I 'throw in a bunch of cash'
Who wants to lend me 8M or so?
What is the going rate these days anyway? I’ll refund the excess immediately and pay back the rest ASAP. I made some money last year but already gave it away to shed my crazy expensive catcher the cpu signed.

overhaul complete
last years club was coming off a 95 win season so i gave them one season to show me why, but with the huge addition of talent to the NL they only managed 66 Ws and finished 40 games back.
well this years edition only has 8 players on the roster from last season, 3 starters, 2 in the line up, 2 on the bench and 1 in the bullpen, thanks in large part to the loan from division rival 3e8.
thanks Reds, the IX feel like my team now.

How much debt was forgiven?
I dont see how forgiving 20M affected my teams projection by 10M.
I think the bigger issue is that combined the league is +327M. Thats enough for 4 full franchises basically that isnt being used. I like the idea of putting the Yankees 150M in the hole to see what effect that has on things.
If cash available to the league is a factor we could establish a credit union type thing where teams can store away their surplus cash for a rainy day off the official BMO books theoretically making the league much closer to break even, maybe that does the trick?

You're right
Right now it projects 7 human teams are headed for bankruptcy, including the Trolls who are already there. But a bunch of them are borderline, so they probably will survive.

you're all bastards
at least i made him as expensive as the guy I signed.
we can compare our CF WAR every season and see who is more worth their contract.
probably wont be mine.
i didnt want to wait another year of rebuilding, and went 10 mil over budget. thus, all my players will get injured and or just shit the bed.

anyone need a shortstop?
i need a LF or RF or a starter. backups can be had. names that sick out are mconnel, mendez, and ill give up sp leclear too.
