SIM COMPLETE - 1997 - SIM 23

[Clay]

NEXT SIM: Wednesday AM

***

Down the stretch we go.... Just 3 Regular Season SIMs remain.

[funclown]

Pawtucket 5-2.

After spending months at the bottom of the Ale, moved to second?

I guess interesting sim coming with 3 games against Los Lunas.

[Matt]

2-5.

My team is heartbroken after losing Wouters. Time to limp into the playoffs and lose to Virginia for the 5th time...where upon my owner will fire me.

[Carlos]

4-3 splitting against Dallas and Syracuse before winning a series against Los Lunas.

Young bullpen pitching like young bullpen in September. Not surprised.

After Dimmick shut us down last sim, Chris Garcia went 7.1 innings and shut him and Dallas down 3-0. I like that fire.

[Z]

Nightmare week. Now Suarez is done.

[spot]

Too little too late. Well at least we won't get a top 5 draft pick... wait...

[Delandis]

4-3 week and back in a tie for first with the Muckducks. Right now, we are masters of our own destiny. I'm very happy with our play overall and we look like we are starting to hit a bit of a groove.

Also, Pat Marlin(OF) is going to win a few HR crowns before he's done. The kid has amazing power.

[Clay]

Virginia claims our 8th Stout Division title (7th in a row)... and 7th straight 100 win season.

Baez gets dinged again and will give up a few ABs the last three weeks to hopefully save his energy for the playoffs.

Pancho and Gus Jenkins going back and forth in competing for my Pale Ale vote.

Ivan Bojorquez gets start #2... another win.... He keeps climbing the Top Players List as well. With Dave Heath just about ready in AAA. I feel like we're going into 1998 with 8 legit Starters ready to roll. We're going to sell some arms this off-season. Sadly, they will be at my prices... which means... I'll be starting 98 with 8 starters.

[Ryan]

5-2 Sim after calling Mal Jackson, Chuck Dixon and Zach Chandler up. Jackson had two really good starts and Dixon K'd 11 in his six innings of work. Chandler didn't do much, but he's still an upgrade and should be fine at 3rd.

Depending on player progression this offseason, this team could look a lot different next season.

[BradZ]

We're killing our draft positioning for next year by playing respectable baseball all of a sudden. We're the anti-Bats.

I'm assuming Mal Brady will be getting a firm talking to for winning IL Player of the Week and pushing them back into the 'W' column.

[Pat]

He'll be benched.

[Matt]

Wouters retired.

The Bulld$gs now have multiple players higher paid than the highest little ol Muckdog. I'd be in 1st as well if I could throw money around to Shitty, Kubota, and Rex.

Speaking of nightmares....Curt Simmons should be taken to the woodshed and shot. Thank god(or the sun god Ra) he cost you next to nothing.

None of them would want to play in Batavia anyway. They'd like to keep their careers.
