there probably are raises and upward movement, plus a "benefits package" which could be decent.

just waiting on the old lady asking to trade 20 Ben Franklin halves for tenbux....dont know if i'll have the ability to buy them out of my drawer but lordy i hope.

I just had a phone interview.

The person on the phone was impressed with my answers and told me I would be making around 12-14 dollars an hour.

Okay so I need 2-3 copies of my professional resume. I havent done one since I was in college, hopefully I can dig that out and update or if not this shouldnt be too hard.

BUT I am also, for the first time in three-and-a-half years going to get a hair cut. I asked the girl what the policy was, and she said it needed to look clean and orderly, and while mine is clean and orderly I kind of want to make that part much, much easier.

hooray! cant wait!

So, as for the playoff matchups I decided each round would be 2h, 2a, 1, 1, 1 because I wanted older teams with less pitchers to get some rest. Made sense to me but I ain't no wizard.

2004 Boston Red Sox vs. 1996 New York Yankees



2015 Kansas City Royals vs 1995 Atlanta Braves



2002 Anaheim Angels vs 1967 St. Louis Cardinals

Those screens BTW dont show what year a player was on a team, so if anybody cares I can hone in on that information if you're curious. Like for strikeouts two from 1918 Boston and then Bill Dinneen of 1903 boston.

So the regular season leaders...Jason Varitek of the 04 Sox leading a lot of batting categories, including wins above replacement. Fans of this league are saying HOBE! because Hobe Ferris(who?) of the 1903 Boston Americans tied Varitek and Babe Ruth with 9 Home runs.



As far as pitchers go Jarrod Washburn of Anaheim edged out Greg Maddux for the ERA crown, Bronson Arroyo and Vinegar Bend Mizell of Pittsburgh tied with 6 wins. Rawly Eastwick of Cincinnati has 12 saves and the strikeout king was Carl Mays of the 1923 Red Sox with 75. The WAR champ was Bob Friend of Pittsburgh with 2.1. Vin Mizell of Pittsburgh pitched 53.1 innings without giving up a single homer, also Greg Maddux of atlanta and Wilcy Moore of the 1927 Yankees pitched 30 innings without giving up a homer also.

So, I simulated the classification round, and in first place was the 2004 Red Sox at 22-8. In last place was the 1996 Yankees at 7-23. Also sorry Reg, Lou Brock is now out 6-8 weeks with an injury. He wasnt as injured before but might have aggravated it in the season



gonna show some regular season stats next, then some playoff matchup info but not simulate until tomorrow

well the main thing is the playoffs. the 30 gane classification matters but ultinately is just seeding.

i wil simulate the classification round when i get off work at 11

because i hate them so much i decided to shit on it before i flushed.

take that, stink bug. I can fight back, too.

i actually didnt know that. But i knew they were an asian country

lou brock is out for a week and damon is out for two weeks.

yeah if they arent on the roster(which is a screenshot of the active roster) they must have gotten injured in the spring training.

I could re-do this without the spring training if you folks think that is okay, but I wont disable injuries as thats just a part of the game

Yes, he did.

I wanted to include some sort of spring training because I wanted teams to have time to prepare, and I guess injuries(set to regular modern day) are more ferocious than I thought.

So with the world series upon us I figured I would do another PotD out of the park baseball challenge.

I may include other prizes later on but right now what is up for grabs is a fifteen dollar Amazon gift card.

The format is this: a 30 game classification round to figure out the seeding for the playoffs(there is a small 3 week 'spring training as well, but this does affect much). Each team plays each other team twice, to make it fair. Then, each of the sixteen teams are entered into a playoff where each round is seven games, NCAA tournament style(aka 1 vs 16, 15 vs 2 set up like a quadrant of an NCAA basketball bracket would be). I have injuries turned on, so some teams might underperform as a result. I also have suspensions turned on.

So, lets meet the teams! Player ages are super high because this takes place in 2017, and the ages are from when the player was actually born. This will not affect player performance. The stars are the rating of a player, so 5 is top tier, and on down the line. Some of these ratings might be questionable but thats Out of the park Baseball for ya.

@Red_Frog - 1983 Baltimore Orioles (98-64, Philadelphia 4-1)



@darcandkharg31 1903 Boston Americans (91-47, 5-3 Pittburg) (note: this must have been their roster in 1903. Lacking some players but each position is filed. I am sorry, but this is what you get)



@skynyrdrocker 1918 Bostome Red Sox (75-51, 4-2 Chicago Cubs)



@madadude 2004 Boston Red Sox (98-64, 4-0 St. Louis)

I did a preliminary run to see if this works and it does, but one thing

i set the rotation sizes to 3, because teams in the early 1900s had pitchers who would go about 9 innings every game whereas today pitchers max out at 6 innings or so unless the are doing exceptionally well. old rotations were 2 pitchers in the early 1900s. today they are five.

So i went through everything wondering where some of the awesome rotations went from the braves and phillies(95 and 08 both known for having killer rotations) and I think the game chopped a few players off the rosters. I'll need a workaround here and double check things but this shouldnt be an issue.

just for reference the best team was the 27 yankees in the classification round, finishing 22-8!

FINALLY. WE have 16 teams. I am going to get started on this perhaps will begin tonight perhaps tomorrow. I will do this in stages to make it exciting and more fun and wont just do everything at once.

in fact i might throw a big hog in and do this now.

Should I shit in the shower though potd? i mean, i never set out to do that ya know. but "shit" happens

I might not get it started tonight but tomorrow, sure. I need to set it up once I have the teams and then make sure I can get a template for the league and playoffs that works. That shouldnt be a problem. But depending on how lazy I am either tonight or tomorrow.

winners from the 2015 season and before

Im sorry, I should have explained. I cannot get that team because the most recent version I have is from the year they won, therefore it wouldnt have them.

sorry. pick again please.

and this is STILL better than the music of today.

im sure somebody somewhere said that, I just hope somebody threw either and egg or tomato in their face.

I dont have that cubs team that won last year, actually. this isnt the current edition of this game.

If you want the one from 100+ years ago sure

I need either four or five people.

You can win a prize. You dont even need to do anything but pick a team and enter. you dont even have to keep track of this topic except to see if you won. its free money waiting for you. c'mon guys.

Garrett co-wrote and co-produced "Pray You Catch Me", the lead track on Beyonc's album, Lemonade.[10]

oh shit nevermind this guy might have actual cred.

i went to school with a girl who is now on the local news as a reporter!

oh and some guy who is a musician and performed on the today show once. i dont know what else he's done but I think he's just a generic acoustic guitar guy.

i had this call today that sounded like a realistic voice with maybe 5% robot.

"sorry ill call you back"

it kinda seemed like a very realistic humanoid robot you can't tell until it starts sparking up from being overworked.

and make a whole genre based around it.

like for real i generally and not attracted to asians but damn kpop videos.

No, I want this job so absolutely I did reply

i wanna get on that casting couch so bad.

kinda odd they liked my application of overweight male, but y'see

This wasnt even in my spam folder. its with my regular mail. the sender was a name i dont recognise but the title of the email "I am from XXX asking to set up a phone interview" is clearly visible.

she even said in the email she wanted to set up a phone interview "this week" which would have been last week. but she doesnt specify 100% any timeframe just says "i'd like to set up a phone interview this week"

"Hello Margaret. I am so sorry I did not see this e-mail sooner. I am definitely available for a phone interview. Any day of the week in the morning would work fine. I am definitely interested in working at X and I regret not seeing and replying to this e-mail sooner. I hope an interview can still be set up.
"

hope this works. I really hate my current job and an dying to leave.

How should I even respond? Im just writing so far that I am sorry and am available for a phone interview any day of the week in the morning.

six days ago I guess I received an e-mail requesting a phone interview for this job I want, and when I was available. I have no clue how I missed this, but I did. I am replying to the e-mail now but I kinda feel like my idiocy shot me in the foot.

I have been checking my e-mail each day as well, though truthfully I was expecting a phone call about this and not an e-mail but idk. This doesnt look good.

Cant believe I missed getting this e-mail. I was locked out of my email for a day because I needed to sort my password but otherwise I should have still seen it.

god damnit

If I did it would have been for posting your list publicly making a deal out of it and making yourself seem important, not for having an ignore list in general since I also do with 100+ people.
