Schedule.... keeps you involved. That DH - Non at midweek during interleague play makes you have to think about your lineup. Actually been using it to get some rest for players so I would like to think its can be an advantage for an active owner. BTW- Get another test coming up against the Stouts big two!!!! Virginia and home , Washington on the road.
What do I see....I noticed Indy is back. Sucks. Also, Andrew back in the league might be Pawtuckets good luck charm. Second half, going to watch the Ale brothers of course. No one sits tight for long in this division.
Hows your team....ummm I would say acceptable right now. Sucks we are going to lose Javara next season, but the kid wants 21 million for 5 years. We've commited to keeping Luca instead. Boyce continues to be Javara's understudy. Jon Montalvo moral is still good in AAA. He will get some playing time in September.
Whatcha like?
The young pitching staff. None of them have disappointed so far. For a rookie that's all you can ask for.
Also Tom Arrington has won a few rookie of the month awards. He looks the part and should only get better.
Big Jon also seems to have found his HR stroke. Of course I say this as he goes 1 for 24 in our last sim.
What do you see?
Anemic offense...1 run losses...and lots of growing pains. I thought we had a chance of being a .500 team this year but I just don't see it. Every time we show something positive we completely implode.
How's the schedule?
Doesn't matter. Although we are a better road team and are respectable against RHP, but lefties completely befuddle our young hitters.
How's your team?
We suck, but at least we're young and we suck. Plus after losing a shit ton of guys off the prospect list the last few years we still hold a respectable #6 overall so there's still more help coming. Looks like we'll have a pic near the top of the draft in 2003 as well to keep stock piling. Cuz like I said...we suck.

Whatcha like? My pitching is slowly evolving into the "unreal" category. Travis DuFour, Tom Downs and Troy Hanback make the best 1-2-3 the in the BLB...and I still have the 22-million-dollar-man in Curt Warren, one of the best pitching prospects in rookie Lorenzo Campos and I'm trying future HOF closer Clarence "Doodle" Ortiz at SP. Did well in his "debut."
What do you see? I see a potential ILCS between Virginia and Washington. It's been awhile. The winner gets to play Funclown, which has a former Bat and former Colonial having a substantial contributing season.
How's the schedule? Love it. Long overdue.
How's your team? In a pretty good spot. Top of the Power Rankings and top in the IL. Can't complain.

Whatcha like?
-Not too much to to like so far but if I had to pick, I like the pickup of Hautbourg. It hasn't made a lot of difference, but its nice to know if we had an offense we'd be decent.
What do you see? -I see that you can go from first to worst in the blink of an eye.
How's the schedule?
I love looking at night and day stats so its nice. I'm not a huge fan of playing with a DH, but you take the good with the bad.
How's your team?
-We are turrible. It seems like everyone decided to have a down year at the plate at the same time. It also looks like we are not going to make to many deadline trades so we'll have to pray for a miracle in the 2nd half of the season.
