SIM COMPLETE - 1999 - SIM 13

[Lintyfresh85]

Did we just witness the first official BLB Humblebrag?

"That team I'm leading by 10 games is Amazing."

I definitely see how it reads as such. Wasn't exactly what I was going for... But if it's a league first, I'll claim it as my own.

FUN FACT TRIVIA OF THE DAY:

At the break, there are currently 4 Import League Teams on pace to win 100 games in 1999. In BLB History, only once has 3 teams in a league won 100 games.

Which league? What year? Who were they?

One note: 1B Baltesar Babilo took out his frustrations on his Allstar snub by getting player of the week and leading the DL in batting average .324 at the break.

Totally regret not trading for this guy.

Wow, I forgot about that! Stupid Brad Z and his bad players!!!!

I feel like an NBA general manager. I was seduced by the siren song of "upside."

[Delandis]

Seriously, what good is it to be 38 games over .500 if Baltimore only stays 10 games back?

Give us some breathing room, will you?

That team Delandis has built is amazing!

I don't know about amazing seeing that this same squad got swept in the playoffs by the Bats last year. But we did manage to go 5-1 vs. the Stout including 2-1 vs. VA. Clay, tell Ivan he doesn't want any problems from Rex.

Looks like we are on pace to be a 100-win wildcard. The IL is stacked this year. I love the fact that we can dominate a series with our pitching now.

Ho hum. 42-40 at the break, 16-11 month. 4-5 starters out first half of the season. Looks like normal.

It's got to be the The DL in the mid 80s, say 85? Maine, Pitt and Sin City (New Orleans). If I'm right I promise I didn't look, but I remember Pitt being amazing one year and getting bounced early.

Clay, tell Ivan he doesn't want any problems from Rex.

Seems like we get one of these every year. Didn't you bean Maeda last season and same thing happened?

[Delandis]

It was either last year or the previous but it was definitely Fowler and Maeda before.

I wanna say 1981? Carolina had over 100 wins. I had 100 wins and missed the playoffs....I'll say Wilmington was the other team? I'm gonna look after I post.

Tobs go 2-4 thanks to the bullpen. I've cancelled Thanksgiving for the players. Fuck them.

FU Marv Goodman. His all star nod has made him believe he's an all star player. The nerve.

Every time I agree to his extension demands, he raises the price.

He's gone from $1, $2.5, $3.5 to $8!! MM a year.

Coincidence it happens just as he becomes an all star and likely saw his popularity increase. Guess he's not coming back to Denver. Not sure how to make this work.

rub Martinez is the saddest thing in my life. Seriously.

Have you considered a move to AAA? At this pt whats the risk??? Keeping him up in the big leagues doesn't even make sense right now.

Let's be honest. Denver was pretty terrible before he arrived.
