First off they initially suck and look like they have no chance of ever winning but it is better then 07 when I made an oklamhoma team and it finished 1-161.
When I enabled the Commisioner mode to do this I didn't know I was essentially throwing away my budget. I made to teams (Montreal and Oklahoma) and then I went back to my Cubs. I looked and saw my budget as 27,000,184 dollars. How come this is happening?
Second, the addition of these two teams (to the american league to balance) destroyed interleague play. For the Interleague play this year I play 1 (count 'em) 1 game against the Royals. OH YAY! Not yay. I want my interleague play back. Instead, the two new teams get all those kind of games. One of the players on the expansion teams has a game log of (going backwards)
TBD, WSN, FLA, TOR, PHI, BAL. They played one game against the WSN, PHI and FLA teams. Looking back on the Calendar they also played the Mets just once and lost to the Orioles 23-0. My two concerns there are that the schedule shouldn't be made to have these teams play one game there and then return to the regular schedule and the Interleague play shouldn't be eliminated because of it. Also, no team, no matter how bad or new should lose to the Orioles or the Devil Rays (now that I look) by more then 20 runs.
Third, the addition of the teams weirds out the calender too. I have no days off in June, followed by 4 consecutive days in July and then the 5th,6th,7th,8th,All-Star break,then Royals then day off. Then At the end of September I have 4 more days off and 4 consecutive games to close out the season.
Now in the second season of these Expansion teams I have gotten the Interleauge bug. I, too open the season, play Rangers then the Twins one game a piece. Then again towards the middle of the month I play the Rangers then the White Sox and back to NL play only. Each team has random interleauge games throughout the season.
