Happy Thanksgiving Weekend! Now the worst day ever...the Sunday before going back to work. UGH
Sorry for missing the sim, I was tied up with chores and random impulse buys and went to hook up a TV I got as a gift over a year ago (yes, sat in a box for a year), discovered it is shot and is out of warranty ... AFTER going to HD to pick up M8 screws for the mount. UGH, what a waste of a day.
File and pages are up. Next sim is tomorrow, MONDAY, evening, an 8-day sim to get us to 8/16/1978; get your exports in by 8:00 PM Eastern.
Thanks to Matt C. for getting Greg to sign up; 100 points to Matt. Greg has already posted a new lineup for the A's; I processed 10 points for that export.
Need an owner for the Dodgers. 100 points to anyone who finds an owner.
