The place to come to talk about all things IBC related. Or not IBC related. Just keep it reasonably respectful.

Am I counting these games wrong, or do we have our World Series set? Tigers vs Giants.
Congrats to both of you. Keep us up to date with how the series is going if you guys decide to netplay.

I do believe your math is correct.
Congrats to both Brett and Nils! We are either going to have another first time WS winner or we'll crown our first two time WS champ.
Looks like those starting pitchers had a rough go of it in the ALCS......with those lineups, no surprise there. Thought for sure JB would be our first two time champ with that All Star roster....but Gotham City is going to have to wait tell next season.

I think there's a jinx of being a past winner. Don't have a good feeling about this...

The only clear jinx I see is JB in the playoffs. That squad should have multiple titles by down. Darn shame JB chokes like that...

So that's why you ran from him then?

Nothing more annoying than being cock-blocked by a guy who can't close the deal...

Didn't Nils almost pack it in mid-season? I'm gonna try that for 2010.
2008-2023 Mets: 1,143-1,296...469%
2006-2008 Rockies: 242-244...498%
IBC Total: 1,385-1,540...474%
2022: lost WC
2023: lost WC
2024: 1st NL East; lost WC

What am I supposed to do, I play game one H2H and dominate to the extent that my opponent wants the rest of the series simmed by the computer.
I can't control why or how my SPs get lit up like a Christmas tree or my hitters can't do anything, or why Damon pinch hits for Jeter in the 9th in a one run game with my season on the line...
Anyway, good luck to BP in the Series, I don't want Nils to be the first two time champ...

Its okay, atleast you didnt lose a 10 game lead by a team that already gave up and then was given players for free.

Well that's why you don't trade an ace within your division during the season

I gotta say, I was really pleased with myself for that one. Moreso than I usually am
