Because we are swamped in political season, and on the road getting out hundreds of thousands of candidate comparisons and giving surrogate speakers - we have not played a Statis-Pro baseball game in 19 days!
Click here for links to all the current players as well as the 60 all-time great Statis-Pro baseball teams, and here are the instructions to play your own games.
Therefore we had to declare our September 13 standings final, and start our playoffs from there.
Its possible before our first game is finished both teams with a bye - Houston and Baltimore - will be eliminated. We are shuffling cards with the Astros gone and the Orioles needing to rally from down 201 in the 8th inning to avoid a similar 2 games to 0 sweep in the wild card round of real baseball.
Our league is a "what-if" league because we let all players play in the Statis-Pro game regardless of if they were injured in the regular season. Because we used the projected stats for the cards, the other variable is surprise breakouts or down seasons, but also cards at full strength even if the player was fighting through injuries. An example, Justin Verlander, Kyle Tucker and Yordan Alvarez have two of the best cards in our games, even though they were nowhere near full strength playing through injuries - perhaps part of the reason the Astros at full strength were our No. 2 seed with a bye while the real Astros came in a weak No. 3 and then lost two straight to the surprising Detroit Tigers.
Here are our Statis-Pro playoff match-ups for games played in Milwaukee - which included mostly AL teams but also the Mets and Cardinals. The Montana League included the rest of the NL teams.
