Clay, you're awesome. Thanks for getting the SIM done under the gun. Sorry about having 26 at AA.

We played like an actual baseball team this week. We don't expect that to continue.

[Clay]

What a dumbass. Didn't even do my own Pre-SIM. Waste of a week.

Another poor sim on the road. My pitchers better get it together.

Spoiler

Luckily Maine hasn't pulled away yet

At least Ednams and Hautbourg came to play. We get Durham back this sim. May has been ugly so far...

Fan interest jumped from 87-97, the highest it's ever been. We're back at 33,000 a game. Alvarez resigns at 6m/year for 3 years. That's a good deal for his production.

Wow, that blows.

But thank you for getting the SIM in. This will be the last thing I ever see with glasses.


edit: Just checked. Can I unsee it?

Jarava, while sitting on the bench due to my dumbass, got a sinus infection mid-week from all the coke in the Colonial clubhouse.

I should have specified my additions going into DFA. Now I have a bunch of angry demoted players. My own fault though...in my defense it's been about 8 seasons since we added prospects though.

Fan rating went from 100 to 87...not bad at all. Lowered ticket prices and we sold the joint out. Programs sold at an all-time high as well since nobody knew anyone's name.

Honestly this is the most fun I've had in with my team a while. The same lineup for almost 6 seasons got boring. I look forward to managing the minors and seeing young guys grow/bust again.

Obviously all those picks will be at the end of Rd 1 but it's a start to build upon for the future. It was a great run for a broke little expansion team.

Lim is going back out there next SIM. Want to give Gerard at least one more week of rehab before I promote him and shift things around.

Dani Rodriguez hit very well in his first week in Denver.

But it was a close 1-5 week. Could have gone 3-3 with some timely hitting. Olivo took a tough 1-0 No Decision against Ocampo. Those are the kind of games we have to win.

Yeah, about that. You see, the thing is . . . . . Hmm, how should I say this . . . . . you're kind of on the clock right now.

The best part about today is that we can say whatever we want about Carlos and he'll never see it.

Golfing Sunday.

Yes, Live Tweeting again. Trying to sell "Garage Sale Wars" to Aaron's bosses. Then SGN will have that fat reality show sugar daddy money.
