Junior Commissioner Note
I considered rolling back the injury to Brooklyn's Franklin Lakey that happened in the "ghost" sim, but I decided to invoke my junior commissioner powers to revise Lakey's injury. Due to the crazy time travel that happened in the sim, Lakey developed migraines and will miss the entire month of August. No word on if he has nosebleeds like the hot redhead on Lost, or not, but, for Zev's sake, I hope he doesn't exhibit symptoms of temporal sickness, and is just confused by what's happened. I hope everyone agrees this was a fair compromise.
I also had to make a roster decision for Hickory, to accommodate adding Timothy Palacio to his active roster. I demoted 3B Carlos Pais to AAA on Frank's behalf.

Replay
OK, folks, Mack was kind enough to send me a copy of the old league file and so we'll replay the two weeks in question. That will be run either tonight or Tuesday night.
If you sent an update file after last night's sim, IT WILL BE DELETED. You will need to reimport the game after I run the sim and then re-export your team changes.
In addition, to avoid the appearance of conflict of interest, I will be disabling Franklin Lakey for the remainder of the season.
My apologies for all the confusion in this. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to post them here or to send them to me by email.
Zev
UPDATE: I've been having some trouble with the file Mack sent. I tried to use it both Monday night and last night. I don't know whether the problem lies with his system or mine (the smart money is probably on mine), so Michael is going to run the sim tonight from his machine (since he hasn't imported the new file).

And The Award For The Most Boneheaded Mistake By A Commissioner Goes To...
... me, who forgot to process a major trade at the trade deadline. :(
Since this was a major trade with implications for the playoff race AND because it was my error, I'm going to see whether or not it's possible to turn back the clock to 7/30 and replay the two weeks. Normally I don't like to do this, but I believe this case warrants and exception.
I'll let you guys know in a day or so whether we're going to turn back the clock or not.
My sincere apologies to David and Nate and all the other owners for this screw-up.

Sim Tonight
OK, I finally managed to figure out how to fix the problem (I had to uninstall, DELETE ALL THE FILES and only then reinstall) I was having with the game.
The August I sim will be run tonight.
As for the trade, it's generally been the rule that only next-year draft picks can be traded. I would *really* like to stick to that. So, if there are no objections from the parties involved, I'm going to use the alternate trade that was sent in.

Further Rain Delay
Well, I finally managed to catch up to everything I needed to catch up to. Unfortunately, it seems that I somehow managed to ruin my copy of the game. I'm currently backing up the league file (the problem is the game software, not the league file) so that I can unlicense and reinstall.
I don't know if I will have it done by tomorrow as we have a family celebration planned. If I can't get it done by tomorrow, it will have to be Saturday night. My apologies for the delays.
I'll make a ruling on the pending question in time for the sim.

Trade: River Cities and Ohio
Another last minute trade...probably more work than Zev needs right now.
River Cities trades SP John Okane to the wildcard contending Ohio Buckeyes for the Buckeyes 2017 first round pick.
River Cities trades SP John Okane to the wildcard contending Ohio Buckeyes for the Buckeyes 2017 first round pick.
Trade: River Cities and Hickory
Dateline: Last Minute Ohiotown!
In what was expected River Cities has dealt longtime second baseman to Hickory for a 2018 first round pick. The move is a sign that River Cities owner Nate Wooley isn't convinced that his team can overcome its poor start and make the playoffs this year. It also provides some return for a player going into free agency.
Okane is still on the market for the same sort of return.

Rain Delay
I'm going to be out all day tomorrow at a family funeral. Unfortunately, that means that all the school work I was planning on pushing off until tomorrow needs to be done tonight. As a result (combined with the fact that Michael can't run the sim from the frozen north on his Ipad), the sim's going to be late. Let's aim for Tuesday night.
My apologies to all.

For the record the You Tube Video of the Piggy in the Speedo eating squash is a fake.

July II Sim run
Game date: 7/31/2016
Today is the trade deadline. All trades must be completed before the next sim, or must wait until the offseason.
That said, who uploaded?
Brookyln
Cleveland
Hickory
Houston
Los Angeles
Maui
New York
Ohio
Seattle
Who's in first?
Adams Division - Cleveland is 13 games up on both Hickory and River Cities
Zotti Division - Seattle is five games up on both Ohio and Saskatoon
Signorino Division - Maui is a whopping 28 games up on New York
Since two of the three divisions are fairly safely decided, let's start asking, who's leading the wild card chase?
Ohio and Saskatoon are tied, both four games up on Hickory and River Cities
Who was awesome?
Los Angeles 1B Michael Slye was Player of the Week on 7/18
Danville 3B Brian "Enrico" Palazzo was Player of the Week on 7/25
Maui's Kevin Kepner 2-hit Brooklyn on 7/18
Seattle's Jaime Cruz 2-hit Ohio on 7/28
Ohio's Lincoln Rossetti (an original 2002 player -- he was on my Stockholm team, by the way) collected his 2000th career hit on 7/18
Maui's Jason Lefebvre had five hits against Los Angeles on 7/21
Who got hurt?
A few week-to-week injuries, but the big injury this sim is Brooklyn catcher, Beau Manning, who tore his achille's tendon and is lost for the rest of 2016.
What's next?
A special sixteen-day sim next weekend by Zev, featuring the processing of all last-minute trades, and the last games of July and the first fifteen days of August. I'll be unavailable, by the way, the next two weekends so it's all-Zev, all-the-time.
