File and pages up. Next sim is THU or FRI EVENING, an 8-day sim to get us to 8/24/2014. Get your exports in by 6 PM.
Waiver trades are good through the end of the regular season. However, if you want to trade for a player and have them play in the playoffs, they must be on your roster before the 9/1 sim is run. Once the 9/1 sim is run, players can continue to be traded, but they CANNOT be on your playoff roster.

Saturday 8/23/2014: Carlos Villanueva dominates Cleveland, throws NO-HITTER
CLEVELAND - New York (A)'s right-hander Carlos Villanueva is a really great pitcher. And he once again showed his stuff while making history, blanking Cleveland on no hits.
