2011 Talk About My Team Thread (formerly known as random ramblings)

[DMBZeppelin]

I hope they die since you're letting them rot in AAA.

By no means am I letting them rot. Though I do realize Galloway is way past ready. Vitters isn't ready to dominate the MLB yet, but he's ready. The ONLY reason I have them in AAA is because I'm teaching them positions. The second Galloway learns center field he's getting called up. I've had a harder time teaching positions at the MLB level.

Yeah I know Oakland gained 4 games this sim. But ill still take the 2nd best record in the AL at the moment. Being a -3 still is becoming a little concern as was the picking getting smacked around a little. But did I mention I hate interleague play.

[bjd2933]

Wow KoZ... your boy has really been on a roll... 6 consecutive wins. When he pitches like that, I want to keep him.

[Kingdom]

Juan Pierre, only two errors at 2B.
It's so hard to teach new positions at the MLB level, oh what was I ever thinking.

[Halladay_is_God]

I just noticed this mistake

Blue Jays lineup
vs RHP+DH
Jose Guillen - starting SS

was suppose to be Carlos Guillen, darn those Guillens

[Kingdom]

Fred Guillen was busy

Some quick hits from the upcoming sim that you might not have seen otherwise...


Josh Hamilton hit 4 home runs against Tampa...

Aaron Thompson pitched a no-hitter in his 2nd start of his career.

Jay Bruce hit for the cycle against the Mets, with 3 runs and 3 rbis as well.


Good sim for the youngsters.

[HollywoodLeo]

Josh Hamilton hit 4 home runs against Tampa...

[HollywoodLeo]

Ugh, I lost ground with a 5-5 sim

Josh Hamilton is on fire, though

9 HRs this sim, to include the 4 HR game

[NYgiantsfan5689]

wow. a 2-8 sim. horrible. i don't wanna talk about it.

Oakland gained a game. The Pitching is once again starting to implode.

[bjd2933]

Hating the fact I have to deal my ace... I am one of the hottest teams in baseball right now, with a beast rotation. But I cannot keep him... so keep sending those offers in for Cain.

[bjd2933]

Wow, thats fantastic luck... trade Cain, and lose Lincecum for 5 weeks to the DL... Tanner, Lincecum, Zito, Hughes, and Bumgarner isnt terrible, but take Lincecum out and put Ponson, and its not that impressive...

[Doppelgänger]

Would you like to acquire Weaver?

[Providence A's]
