2nd Annual Sports Mogul Best Team Ever Tournament

http://forum.sportsmogul.com/showthr...ght=tournament

There's a link to last year's tournament. Here are the rules.

Each person will pick one team with a record over .500 (All teams from 1885-2008 available). But there is a catch, you cannot choose a team that was in last year's tournament- that means the following teams are not available

There will be 32 teams, and there will be ONE TEAM PER PERSON, until further notice. The seeding will be normal seeding (1 vs. 32, 2 vs. 31, etc), with the 1 seed being the team with the highest winning pct. and the 32 seed being the team with the lowest winning percentage.

The brackets will be done by Bracketmaker.com, and the simulations will be done by Whatifsports.com's MLB SimMatchup Program.
There will be the 7 games in each series, in each round.

The Finals!

All 3 teams are in, 28 spots left

2008 Philadelphia Phillies

1932 Yankees

If taking second shots my 2nd pick...getting it in early....is 1936 Yanks...

1982 Milwaukee Brewers

1983 Baltimore Orioles

Also..looking back on the first tournament..each matchup was a best of seven? Why aren't we just doing that again?? One game to decide all the first round matchups? That seems like a crapshoot.

1997 Seattle Mariners

Eh, what the hell, best of 7's for everyone! :D

1975 Cincinnati Reds.

Actually asianinvasion already chose a team that was in last year :-\

I'll go with the 1995 Mariners though.

Hmmmmm let's see....
1946 Red Sox and if we get to choose a 2nd then i guess the 2008 Red Sox

2008 Cubs

Nice catch!

1997 Mariners will be removed. Pick another team, asianinvasion.

Okay, I just removed the 97 Mariners, everyone else's teams are in. We're filling up nicely so far.

2005 White Sox

1920 Indians, and if we get a second shot then 1948 Indians

I'll take the 1973 Dodgers, cause I recall when facing them in the WS how remarkable their team seemed to be.

If we have second choices, I want the 1962 Mets, just to see how they would do.

1995 Colorado Rockies

That wouldn't work. All teams have to have records over .500.

1988 Oakland Athletics

Fine, my second choice will be the 1946 Red Sox

2002 Mariners

'41 Yanks

2nd choice would be '28 a's

1886 Chicago White Stockings! That's who I want.

2000 yankees

2nd Choice either 1983 White Sox (Managed by the one and only Tony LaRussa)
or 1993 White Sox
or 1994 White Sox (Strike shortened season)

Someone help me here...who should I choose?

Once we get 11 more teams.

NOTE-
It doesn't look like we'll have to do 2 teams per person. Feel free to submit a 2nd team though in case we do that.

2000 Mariners

The 1978 Boston Red Sox (d*** you Bucky Dent...)

1985 St. Louis Cardinals for me please. :)

1986 Red Sox

Second choice is 2008 Rays
Third choice is 1988 Dodgers

1981 Dodgers.

Gotta get some strike representation in here!

Come on let's fill this thing up. Seven more teams needed..where is HoustonGM? Surprised he isn't in yet.
