A Nationals Dynasty Journal (Not Owner Mode)

[LidsDude07]

Hey everyone, as some of you might have known that read my first Dynasty with a drafted Nationals team, I quit on it, because my team was pretty stacked and I was just killing the competition and wasn't fun. So here I am for my 2nd Dynasty that is going much better and having more fun with. Also, I will not bring you guys to another page, instead I will update game by game in this thread.

To get you guys started, I'm going to fill you in on some things. The first one is that I am starting this journal using Pared's All-Star Sliders and I have already played 9 games with my record being 6-3. Also, I have done numerous amounts of trading (Fair trades on). I am also using a 4-Man Rotation until I find someone decent to trade Tony Armas Jr. for.
