Voted just now.

I had an interesting and kind of difficult time doing the overall rankings.

But I do feel that the head to head matchups will be super interesting and less difficult to do.

Same.

I voted a few days ago.

I voted a few days ago.

Those are the new White Sox season tickets. Thanks. I have asked Fenway to post the standings when he has time.

 

[Winger for Hire]

Those are some pretty sweet tickets... but where's the Disco Demolition one?

Good question. I just wanna thank all for doing such a great job drafting. It makes the constant editing of the OP much less tedious and much more fun.

 

[Ben Grimm]

I'm having some bad luck with the voting. Please send your votes to Pwnasaurus. If he doesn't post the standings by 8:00 PM CT Thursday, my team is dropping out of the playoffs and send them to me. Thank you very much for your cooperation and patience.

 

[bluesfan94]

I'm taking votes; so far I have three ballots.

Edit: nevermind, looks like pwn said yes First

 

[NJDevs26]

I only sent mine to Pwn...I hope there weren't PM problems with the other league too, maybe that's why so few ballots came in?

 

[td_ice]

I will send votes to bluesfan as well. To cover all bases.

Sent.


Now bluesfan has 4 votes. Just needs two more.

No sense you dropping out Wrigley. No one is in that much of a hurry that another day to get things squared away will matter.

Sounds good. I sent mine to you twice. Post the standings and I'll make the threads.

Sounds good. The teams are so close I will be voting on matchups.

 

[bluesfan94]

I don't have NJDevs votes and I know he sent them to pwn. I'll pm him and post results in the morning, around 9 Central. The standings are close so I think this is only fair.

I responded to him this morning. If he didn't get it I give up

Doing research for this draft, I noticed there were a lot players named Heinie.

Elmer Flick sounds like a character from Green Acres.

 

[Winger for Hire]

I expected nothing less

 

[Tecumseh]

For what it's worth, Winger, I had your team ranked third (second if you exclude ranking my own team). Honestly ranking these teams, 1-6 are arguably interchangeable

Appreciate that and I was tongue in cheek-ing that a bit. It was hard to separate the teams because each had their own flavor that I had a hard time ranking. I was honestly expecting to be low because I stuck myself with a more modern approach

H2H a lot of things can happen with these teams.

 

[Ben Grimm]

Alright standings:
1. Pittsburgh Pirates
2. St. Louis Browns
3/4. Great Lake Loons
3/4. Toledo Mud Hens
5. London Tigers
6. Washington Wild Things

The Loons will be 3rd and the Mud Hens 4th for seeding purposes. The Pirates and the Browns get a bye, because their GMs are Kryptonians. The threads are up. Everyone has until 01:42 PM CT Tuesday to vote. You can vote on your own series to encourage and reward voting.

 

[NJDevs26]

Glad I hit the two slot, but yeah a lot of these series are going to come down to matchups and taking a better look at the teams.

For clarification, these are five-game series or seven game series in the first round?
