Wow, what a difference THAT makes. Boston takes the final 3 games of the series to win 5-3. SOUND FAMILIAR? It almost seems as if I've wasted an hour of my life. Let's hope that the next 100+ attempts succeed.

This is pretty cool. How are you simulating an entire series instead of individual games (i.e. #1, #2 starters)? Is this what the new boxscores look like? I haven't played since February.
