Yup, I'm done. 9-1 SF. Still batting top of third with no outs. Tired of half the games being softball scores. Well, that was fun. For a week. Maybe when I have money to burn I'll buy some championship teams and have a tournament. I really wanted to have a 32 team tournie of the best teams ever but it'd be a pain in the ass and involve buying some full sets just for one team.

I was poking around the Strat site and they do sell single teams for like $2 each, if you want to go that route.
I'm not having as tough a time as you, but the offense is kinda high.. it seems the good hitters overcome the good pitchers.

I'm not having as tough a time as you, but the offense is kinda high.. it seems the good hitters overcome the good pitchers. They do sell single teams but not ALL single teams. In addition, I believe some sets only have basic rules. Yeah, the good offense definitely outweighs the good pitching. It's not necessarily that which is annoying me, it's the games that are 9 or 10 to 1 in the third inning. At that point, I've lost my interest in sitting there rolling it out for the next half hour
