I've decided to come back for another season in Los Angeles. The core will stay intact, we have some young guys who might be able to contribute coming up (or who can be dealt) and I think that we can unload a few of those crap deals and move on with building a ballclub that might be able to compete for a title against next year.

If not, oh well. But I'm not quite ready to give the club up yet.

Also:

If you're interested in participating in this dynasty by having me create a player for you, do let me know, as we're so far into the past, that it'd be interesting to have some guys throughout history that we could follow with special interest.

So I'm going to sim forward into the 1900s and start tinkering more with history and such alike, find a new team to adopt and see if we can't...

DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES RESULTS (BEST OF SEVEN)
-----
New York def. Philadelphia 4-2
Los Angeles def. Colorado City 4-1

We went 2-1 against them in the regular season for whatever that's worth. Their lineup is pretty potent featuring Mat Johansen, the 21-year old phenom and umm..his 48-year old (yes, I unretired...

OPENING ROUND SERIES RESULTS (BEST OF SEVEN)
-----------
New York def. Eau Claire 4-2
Philadelphia def. Houston 4-2
Colorado City def. Washington 4-3
Los Angeles def. Boston 4-0

(Note: LA went 3-0 against Boston during the regular season, so it seems we just had their number all year. I'm okay with this. After finishing 20 games ahead of Colorado City during the regular season, I hope this one pays off.)
