    Well there is only about a week left in the season. And it looks like rtaps has all but secured the winning spot for the worst team in the MLB BIF; so a prelimimary Congrats are in order. rtaps, your team sucks!!!!; and congrats on your team sucking so bad, they lost over 100 games LOL. If your team isn't in the playoffs and you want to ship early, shoot me a BM and I'll give you rtap's addy.

    How nice would it be for Milwaukee (and/or St louis) to make the playoffs after losing the two biggest free-agents in history? What would be even better is: if Detroit and the Angels DIDN'T make the playoffs. No I'm not bitter the Phils suck too have what could be the greatest rotation in the history of baseball, not at all.

    Prost and Cheers all!!!

    What about the dodgers spending and disappointment???? You never mention all they've spent the giant lead they had(which most people expected them to lose). So they spend even more money and still aren't going to make it!

    Thought the Cubbies had last locked up at the All-Star break. Too bad Houston sucks even more.

    Sucks that Cincy can rest their awesome bullpen and banged up players for 2 weeks before the playoffs begin.

    This Wed is the last day of the Reg Season everyone. And rtaps has locked up the worst record of the season (as of Thurs morning). 'Nice' job Rob.

    Boston should be ashamed of themselves. They fire a manager who had them there every freaking year, and hire a man who has them in last place. After trading the Babe, hiring Valentine is the worst move in their history. He my friends, is a douche. Just sayin.

    Other than the AL East the AL hasn't moved much all year, and now everything has changed. And unless the White Sox retake the division, they'll be out. (Texas is till way ahead, but they still won't win the WS.)

    My Phils are out, great job guys. And there is no way Washington wins the WS without Strasburger.

    Yeah, been kind of a long crappy season for me. But I gotta say, I really had fun running this BIF. I'm already looking forward to next year; which is the Philadelphia motto: there is always next year

    Happy Oktoberfest Everyone
    Prost!!!!

    87 wins is pretty weak but it does move the Tigers into the playoffs!

    Congrats to rtaps!!! His team had the worst record in MLB. You sir have won a bottle of beer from every member (except for the WS championship team). If anyone wants to ship early shoot me a BM, otherwise everyone needs to ship after the WS.

    Thats it! The reg season is over. I'll continue to post thru out the playoffs. Congrats to DSlim71, pitasoup, beerboy9960, coppcw08, raffy313, AutumnBeerLove, bigfnjoe, Duffman929, homebrew311 and YaKnowBrady for their teams making it to the playoffs. (Cmon Baltimore or Oakland!!!!)
