SDMB History / Cumulative Record

I've now added the final 2008 stats into my spreadsheet, hopefully to enable me to gain a crushing advantage over all of you. [evil maniacal laughter] Bwaa haa haa haa haa. [/evil maniacal laughter]

Anyway, here's the cumulative records of the franchises from 2002-2008, ranked by winning percentage.

1. South Bay, 683-451, 0.602 (98-64, 0 GB)
2. Seattle, 663-471, 0.585 (95-67, 3 GB)
3. Saskatoon, 614-520 0.541 (88-74, 10 GB)
4. Brooklyn, 607-527, 0.535 (87-75, 11 GB)
5. River Cities, 606-528, 0.534 (87-75, 11 GB)
6. New York, 400-410, 0.494 (80-82, 18 GB)
7. Houston, 554-580, 0.489 (79-83, 19 GB)
8. Danville, 550-584, 0.485 (79-83, 19 GB)
9. Walla Walla, 527-607, 0.465 (75-87, 23 GB)
10. Hickory, 331-479, 0.409 (66-96, 32 GB)
11. Covington, 312-498, 0.385 (62-100, 36 GB)
12. Denver, 309-501, 0.381 (62-100, 36 GB)

I added what the cumulative winning percentage equates to in a 162-game season and how many games back each franchise would be.

It does appear that Michael has the greatest SDMB team, which I guess we could have expected. Sigh. I also think that this shows how hard it's been for the four expansion teams to compete (although New York has done a pretty impressive job). I expect the expansion teams' records to start changing over the next couple of years, as some of the very best young players are in those systems.

Aside: I have all kinds of pitching, batting, and fielding stats from 2003-08 at my fingertips as well. I'll post some of the more interesting ones on the blog here when I'm procrastinating. But, if anyone has any questions, feel free to drop them into a comment in this or a later post and I'll be happy to answer them. Example random fact: Brooklyn's franchise has the most home runs in history (1176 over the six years of 2003-08), as well as the two seasons with the most in a year (218 in 2003 and 215 in 2007).

2008 Upload Champioins!!

A good measure of an on-line league is how often the participants... well, participate. There have been fourteen sims in this season. How often did people send me uploads? Well, here are the results:

River Cities -- 14 uploads (Perfect!)
Seattle -- 14 uploads (Perfect!)
South Bay -- 14 uploads (Perfect!)
Saskatoon -- 12 uploads (sims 1, 3, 5-14)
Danville -- 11 uploads (1-4, 8-14)
Hickory -- 11 uploads (1, 3-6, 8-13)
Houston -- 9 uploads (2-6, 8, 11-12, 14)
Denver - 4 uploads (1, 4, 11, 13)
Covington -- 3 uploads (3, 4, 7)
New York -- 3 uploads (2, 5, 7)
Walla Walla -- 2 uploads (2, 8)

Out of 154 possible uploads (14 sims * 11 teams [I make my changes directly in the game]), there were a total of 97 sims, for a 63% upload rate.

Uploads included all uploads (whether successful or not) and any email messages with roster changes/moves (or even an email saying "No changes this week").
