Check out the NL central... 4 teams are right there in it.

better yet, look at Jay Bruce. if he didn't have an injury..

Finally! Into the wild card lead and 3.5 back of Pittsburgh. About time some players on this team woke up, but the bullpen still sucks.

The 2016 plague continues to haunt Detroit... last year's ROY now down for 6 weeks

Have improved enough to crawl out of last place... but this is too little too late... at this point I would rather them keep losing for a better pick to restock the minors

Minnesota Twins are only 10 wins off their total for last year and only 3 games below .500! It may not have been a winning season just yet, but by all accounts, its a successful one!

Josh Beckett, awesomest #2 ever

[General]

OK, so my outfield's batting is a complete, total, and utter disgrace to baseball. Also, for whatever reason, Hafner is hitting dreadfully bad this month despite keeping the same ratings.

But yeah, my OF is disgraceful. .235 is the highest BA. And Kentral Davis just gained contact talent to 9, just so that he can mock the fact that his actual contact is, and has been for 4 years, a 7. Ragira is sucking, but that's OK, cause I just called him up (although I was secretly hoping for a sensational, team-lifting performance from him). Finally, Nick's boy Clarence Wilbanks, my number 1 prospect for the past 3 years, still sucks a huge ****.

Also, Cyril O'reilly continues to be a waste of space and salary.

Thats like when Red Sox fans panicked when they heard we traded Nomar, then got happy when they found out who we got lol.


My Phillies are just bad... bad bad bad, so time to FIRESALE IT OFF!!! I know some of you have inquired on Clement, Slyder, Kazmir, Lawrie to name a few, but I'd like to trade AMAP!!! (As much as possible) so please AIM or PM me about deals

[Doppelgänger]

What does Perez do upon arrival? Loses talent and sucks it up. Just like every other pitcher I bring in.

[Kingdom]

Shadow lost talent. Not that he ever really had any to begin with.

[zodious]

*SLAM* I have NO idea where in the world the brick wall came into play... but my team just SLAMMED into it... 3 win sim... 3... and ended it ... ON A 10 GAME LOSING STREAK! my hitting was atrocious! WHAT THE HECK!

[Porter]

Thursday 8/3/2016 :
Lee Porter seems to have improved his pure stuff!
Lee Porter's pitches have more bite now, the movement has improved!

Thats the highlight of the sim. The rest of the sim couldn't be any worse.

[General]

Finally in 1st for something, the wild card. If by some miracle my offense continues to hit well (minus my OF, ofcourse, they're worthless), then I might hang on and make the playoffs.

[DiamondDave]

Now I start winning.. argh.... watch me end up around .500 now...

If We're going to lose, LOSE... If we're going to win, WIN.. none of this in between crap
