Aalmeida (Reds) has quit CC, so he's being replaced by jwithington

Just sent a reminder to Tucktovich (marlins), if he doesn't join in 24 hours he will be replaced as well

jwithington declined, but Sniper08 has agreed to replace Aalmeida

Tucktovich will be replaced, still waiting on a replacement
edit- my bad, I guess Tucktovich eventually joined

last set of games coming soon

Here's a playoff update though (full standings in 1st post):
[spoiler=AL]East
1 Orioles, dbandit (94-61)
2 Blue Jays, HA (90-61)
paws is still mathematically in it, but highly unlikely to come out on top. The race is down to the wire for these two though.

Central
1 Indians, vragus (88-64)
clinched, closest competitor is 15 games out

West
1 Mariners, catarah (99-55)
clinched, mathematically, viper can still tie, but catarah holds the tiebreaker anyway

Wild Card
1 Blue Jays, HA (90-61)
2 Angels, viperoverlord (91-63)
3 Red Sox, paws (85-67)
closely contested between HA and viper, paws still barely in the picture. If HA wins the east, dbandit will be in the wild card hunt instead.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=NL]East
1 Phillies, alaskanassassin (96-59)
2 Mets, SOAB69 (87-66)
alaskan has all but clinched. If soab wins out and alaskan loses out, the division will be tied and soab will hold the tiebreaker, otherwise alaskan wins the division

Central
1 Cubs, trenchcoat (90-63)
2 Reds, Sniper08 (87-68)
trenchcoat is looking good here, it will be tough to come back from 5 games down in the loss column with so few games remaining.

West
1 Diamondbacks, shipmthisway (94-61)
clinched, closest competitor 12 games out

Wild Card
1 Mets, SOAB69 (87-66)
2 Reds, Sniper08 (87-68)
3 Rockies, phillipm (81-71)
4 Braves, chewie1 (81-72)
5 Brewers, beeps (78-73)
Listed everyone still mathematically in the running, but really this is a 2 team race. soab will try to hold off sniper for one round to clinch the final NL playoff spot.[/spoiler]

I made a mistake way earlier in the season regarding a game between the Orioles and the Twins. In real life, there was a game between these two teams that was rained out, then made up the next day. The stupid people at ESPN who post the schedules kept both the rained out (original) game, and the make up game on their schedule, so both stayed in my schedule, and the two CC players played 2 games when they should have only played 1.

The games were [game]7102189[/game] and [game]7102190[/game]. Since the two players split the games on CC, I'm having them play another make up game to decide who wins the game in the CC tourney.

[jrh_cardinal]

This one I'm not entirely sure how it happened . I just totally missed 2 games (August 20 and 21) between the Tigers and the Indians. They are getting those two now as well.

PS- This waiting until the end to troubleshoot (when every team should have 162 games, so it should be easier), seemed like a really good idea, until now

[jrh_cardinal]

All AL teams now have their last regular games, including the remakes.

There are several other teams in the AL that have more than 162 games. These are all because of the problem transitioning to the Oakland A's replacement, in early to mid August (in the MLB season). For all AL teams with more than 162 games, somewhere between August 4 and August 22 they have duplicates (same label), the earlier game(s) have the wrong participants. Only the later set count.

I probably won't send NL games until tomorrow night.

[jrh_cardinal]

There are also 2 problem spots in the NL. Both were due to rainouts where both the rained out game and the make up game were kept on the ESPN schedule.

Marlins and Rockies
[game]7030986[/game] and [game]7030987[/game]
Both were won by the Marlins, so it counts as one (1) Marlins win.

Dodgers and Mets
[game]7087885[/game] and [game]7087887[/game]
Each team won one of the games, so I'm sending out a remake to determine who gets the win for this tournament


That's it with fixes from earlier in the season. Every team not mentioned in one of the five problems (four current situations and the A's switchover in August) has 162 games, and the teams involved in the problems have 162 games counting in the tournament standings.



NL games are all made, PMs will be finished and sent out within an hour
edit- done

[jrh_cardinal]

looks like 4 people aren't going to join their games. I'm sending out personal requests now for reserves.

At least 1 of these 4 may not have any games that affect the playoffs. If that is the case (I'll know more as more games finish), I may not use a reserve for that team since they won't affect the continuation of the tournament

[HighlanderAttack]

I know Seattle is important because it effects both regular and wild card races

[jrh_cardinal]

I know Seattle is important because it effects both regular and wild card races

Yep, sending two out today. One of the last two I don't think I have to replace, other one will, asking two new people today.

iamkoolerthanu will be Seattle
jigger1986 will be Oakland

need to replace San Diego
probably won't replace Florida

[jrh_cardinal]

notes:
Definitely need to get someone in as the Padres
Definitely don't need someone to be the Marlins
I will post full photobucket standings when all games are complete

playoffs update:
[spoiler=AL]The playoffs are set in the AL, only thing left to determine is #1 seed for homefield advantage in the Championship Series if both HA and kooler advance. Since the Wild Card team is from HA's division, the #1 seed doesn't matter for the first round matchups because HA can't play someone from his own division.

East - Blue Jays, HighlanderAttack (99-62) - 1 active
Central - Indians, vragus (90-67) - 5 active
West - Mariners, iamkoolerthanu (98-53) - 11 active
Wild Card - Orioles, DBandit70 (98-64) - 0 active

Just missed
Angels, ViperOverLord (95-67)
Red Sox, paws1610 (93-69)

First Round Playoff Matchups (Divisional Series)
Orioles @ Mariners
Indians @ Blue Jays[/spoiler]
[spoiler=NL]This is more confusing. Still searching for a Central champ and a Wild Card. The #1 seed is determined by [game]8939193[/game], alaskan wins the tiebreaker over shipmthisway if he wins that game, if alaskan loses, shipmthisway gets the #1 seed.

East - Phillies, alaskanassassin (99-62) - 1 active
Central -
Cubs, trenchcoat (92-65) - 1 active - 4 unplayed
Reds, Sniper08 (90-69) - 0 active - 3 unplayed
If trenchcoat wins [game]8939246[/game] or any of his 4 unplayed games he takes the division (he would win the tiebreaker if both teams went 93-65)

West - shipmthisway (100-62) - 0 active
Wild Card -
Mets, SOAB69 (92-70) - 0 active
Reds, Sniper08 (90-69) - 0 active - 3 unplayed
Reds hold tiebreaker, they have to go 2-1 in their unplayed series against the Padres.
If Sniper wins the Central (he would have to go 3-0 and trenchcoat would have to go 0-5), SOAB would win the Wild Card by virtue of the tiebreaker over trenchcoat

Just Missed
nobody, except whichever of the 3 teams in the Central/Wild Card race loses out.

First Round Playoff Matchups (Divisional Series)
Still many options, but the Phillies and the Diamondbacks definitely have Home Field Advantage Round 1, they just don't know who they're playing yet [/spoiler]

Decius Mus is joining the Padres games right now

Update for NL Playoffs:
alaskanassassin (Phillies) won his last game, so he gets the #1 seed over shipmthisway (Diamondbacks).

This means, if SOAB69 (Mets) is the Wild Card, the First Round series are:
Central Winner (Cubs/Reds) @ Phillies
Mets @ Diamondbacks

If Sniper08 (Reds) is the Wild Card, the First Round series are:
Reds @ Phillies
Cubs @ Diamondbacks

edit- not sure if I've said this anywhere, but I'm saying it now. There will be NO reserves used in the playoffs. If anyone does not join and I can't get in contact with them in a reasonable amount of time, they forfeit and their opponent advances to the next round.

[jrh_cardinal]

Time for another update:

AL
iamkoolerthanu takes the #1 seed for sure, nothing else changes

matchups-
Orioles, DBandit (98-64) @ Mariners, kooler (102-58) - 2 active
Indians, vragus (92-68) - 2 active @ Blue Jays, HA (99-63)

home field advantage for ALCS-
1. Mariners
2. Blue Jays
3. Indians


NL
trenchcoat locks up the central as soon as he finishes me off in [game]8939246[/game]
so now the 3 divisions are all decided:
East- Phillies, alaskanassassin (100-62)
Central- Cubs, trenchcoat (93-65) - 4 active
West- Diamondbacks, shipmthisway (100-62)

Wild Card Standings:
Mets, SOAB69 (92-70)
Reds, Sniper08 (90-69) - 3 active
Sniper holds the tiebreaker, so he has to win at least 2 of the 3 games below to take the Wild Card
[game]8939308[/game]
[game]8939309[/game]
[game]8939310[/game]

homefield advantage for NLCS:
1. Phillies
2. Diamondbacks
3. Cubs


Reminder: The NL winner has home field advantage in the World Series because the NL won the All Star Game

[jrh_cardinal]

Playoffs Time!!!

Sniper only won 1 of the 3 games, so the NL Wild Card is SOAB69.

There are still 10 games active, some of which involve playoff teams, but they can't change who makes the playoffs or the seeding within the playoffs. So the playoffs start now , I'll post final regular season standings when all of those are done/decided beyond any reasonable doubt

Matchups:
AL
Orioles, DBandit (98-64) @ Mariners, kooler (102-60)
Indians, vragus (92-68) - 2 active @ Blue Jays, HA (99-63)

NL
Cubs, trenchcoat (93-65) - 4 active @ Phillies, alaskanassassin (100-62)
Mets, SOAB69 (92-70) @ Diamondbacks, shipmthisway (100-62)

games will be out later tonight

The two top seeds, the Mariners and the Blue Jays, advance in the AL. Congrats to the Cubs for knocking off the top seeded Phillies in the NL. I'll wait for the Mets/Dbacks series to finish before sending the next round.

Next round are 7 game series
ALCS: Blue Jays, HighlanderAttack (99-63) @ Mariners, iamkoolerthanu (102-60)
NLCS: Cubs, trenchcoat (93-65) - 2 active vs. Mets, SOAB69 or Diamondbacks, shipmthisway -- if Mets win, Cubs have home field advantage. If D'Backs win, they have home field.

[ViperOverLord]

I'm listed as 91-63. I just wonder if I finished 91-61 and was supposed to be in the playoffs or if I finished 89-63 out of it.
