Congratulations, Chicago Cubs! 108 years and you've finally won the World Series. Well, with baseball over for foreverthe year, it's just too bad that we won't be able to answer one of the biggest questions plaguing humanity since Day 1.

Can the users of Eagle Time successfully manage a baseball team?

Sadly, with no more baseball, this question will never be answered. It's not as if there is a baseball simulator program, which I have downloaded, and allows me to set up such a scenario with ease.

Oh. I guess there is.

Welcome to Eagle Time (attempts to) manage a baseball team in the major leagues! All controls are given over to you, to see how likely the forum as a whole can manage the team. I have a guess, but I'm not going to say which right now, to not influence your decision making skills.

Before we get started, let's see what's going on.

Yep, that looks like an MLB season, which I have to simulate through in order to do certain things. Wonder what's going to happen in this version of 2016, though?

Okay, some slight differences. Pay no attention to the fact that I'm apparently Baltimore Orioles; they are the first team in alphabetical order in the American League, so that's the default for no team. Unfortunately, the Cubs don't end their drought this year by virtue of not making the playoffs, and the Giants don't suffer a colossal collapse after the All Star break to still win their division, but all I care about is how do the playoffs end?

WHAT HELLISH WORLD DO WE LIVE IN WHERE THE DODGERS WIN THE WORLD SERIES???

Okay, so now that the season is over, we can make some changes. Now, I could let you all control one of the teams already existing, but I figured, it would be a lot funnier to put us in charge of a brand new team, so that we can mess around with a lot more stuff.

What I need is:

The city where we want to play
The nickname of our team
Whether we want to play in the National or American league

We'll just do that to start but there will be more next time; I'll have to realign the league depending on where we end up playing, so we most likely won't get to choose our divisions or rivals.

So, with that, PLAY BALL!
