Good FPP, and an extra point for geeky regex link title. But, I have to ask: "What about the sanctity of the sport?" *runs*

I agree. The sanctity of MVP Baseball 2005 will be lost to me now, knowing that my scores will never count towards professional league results.

Thanks nemo, but I'm sure someone will invalidate the point by pointing out it's kinda backwards.

This, by far, is the stupidest thing ever done in minor-league baseball. It's so stupid, I don't even feel like typing in why it's the stupidest thing ever done. I just feel dirty thinking about it.

Even dumber than having the local Communist Party chief make a speech on pretzel day?

Stupider than Jimmy Buffett Night? Well, yeah...

Dumber than dog sweaters.
