someone count up the teams


Chud - Short Guys
#BRL - Heartlanders
CopperTom - Braves 91-05
Argo - Black guys with no power/Ks
Phil - Canada
Skitch - Team Penis

If we include secondary teams:

Argo - Team DIED
Phil - Siblings
Skitch - Other sports stars
#BRL - Cuba

That would give us ten teams. Lament said he couldn't come up with an idea, which is completely inexcusable, and TBAMTS said he would put one together.

If we can get it to 8 we can do a nice easy bracket tournament.

I LOLd at Team DIED because I'm not a good person.

That works. All we need is to get Lament and TBAMTS in and we can scratch the secondary teams (or save them for Rogue 2).

Yeah dude! I am in. Very excited about this one. I also have a second team if needed. It's an all Cuban team in honor of my lovely Cuban GF and her weird love for Jose Abreu.

Team Heartlanders.

Everyone on this team is born in either Nebraska, North or South Dakota, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa or Minnesota. Get your steak, Kool-Aid, corn, cheese, snow blowers and long johns ready, bitches!

Design seems nice enough. We'll see about the location. Turner Field is on the outskirts anyway, not a prime location.

yup! What you're going to want to do is create an account over on whatifsports.com
from there, you can create a "Dream Team" of baseball players. Once you've added 25 players to your roster, you'll get to name your team and choose a home ballpark. Then, you'll be able to run sims by hitting the little green plus sign next to your team name on the 'Dream Teams' homepage. That's where you'll be able to set your lineups.

Search for the team name.

Mine are called Heartlanders and Revolutionaries. Also made YourTexasRangers for the franchise one.
