SIM COMPLETE - 1995 - SIM 11

Just cut him and take the hit for a year. Live and learn. :)

The Bats finally have a Single-A team with 25 players under 25 years old.

I'm sorry Carlos, but I've got to laugh at this one.

I think for the most part we have a good time and act fairly decent. The problem is knowing people for an extended period of time breeds familiarity. Now with that said Skerik is an ass! If we had a survivor vote I can think of at least 5 guys voting him off the island.

That would NOT include Funclown. He completely cracks me up.

Yeah, because I built this team that I took over. Meanwhile if you count my two playoff appearances with the Baltimore franchise and my one with Sin City/New Orleans, I have more playoff appearances in my two stretches of ownership than you have in 17 seasons.

....but I fail to see what any of that has to do with noting that Ivan Olivo is not pitching well this season. I think we can all agree on that without any dick-measuring of our lifetime winning percentages, career playoff appearances, etc.

Eaaaasssy there killer. Just giving you a taste of your own medicine. Wasn't being serious. I hated the Olivo trade for Carlos as much as the next guy. But, ever since I filled in for you in the draft thread I can't get it out of my system.

And while we're reminiscing, I forgot how much blood, sweat and tears went into that initial dispersion draft. Signing up, picking a team name, letting the computer pick your system for you...

I guess you could say you didn't build either team you took over. At least the whole Stafford contract wasn't on you though.

At least the whole Stafford contract wasn't on you though.

You know considering I never had anything to say about that contract to you, it would be advisable you worry about your own team instead.

Not seeing the reason for this gloating.

Just make sure everyone knows I said this first when it becomes bigger than anyone taking those talents somewhere or I'm occupying [insert place].

In other news, the BLB may be losing a bit of popularity. Almost every team in the league is down in attendance. Well except teams with 9.99 tickets and those whose attendance #'s really couldn't have dropped much lower.

[Gyrodork]

After a rough season last year my attendance has rebounded; despite the fact that I took a couple of hits to fan interest this season; which I don't understand. I also don't know why fan interest has rebounded after a couple of mediocre-to-poor sims. Maybe there's a lag between changes in performance and fan interest.

Easily the worst worst sim I've had since taking over Hyundai. Not only did I lose O'Hegarty again but I also lost two more promising players in the minors. Injuries have destroyed development for kids I had hoped would be in the BLB soon. Sadly, I will probably not be able to avoid Shavermetrics predictions this season.
