SIM COMPLETE - 1984 - Regular Season 3

[Andrew]

Might I suggest... perhaps moving the SIM up to like 8:00? The game tips at 8:30ish right? Why don't we bump the sim up to 7 or 8.... then it's done and you don't have to worry about doing it after the game or in the morning.

Just a thought.

I can't tomorrow. Wife and I are going to look at houses after work. I'll probably run the sim at halftime of the game.

[Spectre]

Good luck with that Andrew, house-hunting is a gigantic pain.

I'm sure the Mrs. will do most of the looking though, you'll be the chauffeur ;)

Good time to buy a house right now... I'm sure interest rates are especially nice.

[Clay]

Yeah, I don't know what it's like in the rest of the country, but right now in Michigan... if you're a buyer who doesn't have to sell... you're livin' large. It's amazing what you can get for your money right now. We've fallen in love with a dozen homes in the last year and, eventhough our house would sell because of all the extras we have and have done... we wouldn't get what it's worth.

Yah it's been stressful so far. We can't agree on anything.

It still sucks in eastern Massachusetts, just sucks a little less than normal. We're looking in the 300-325 range which will basically get us a house that needs to be completely remodeled. I don't mind though. I like doing the work and it allows us to live in the area we want to live.

[Sully]

It looks like we've outscored our opponents 109-77, and we're 9-10. The bullpen has been awful. The starting pitching, aside from Nevereia, has been pretty good. I guess we'll eventually come around.

Spectre I just wanted to say that I am totally pissed at your right now.

This off-season, no one had made an offer for Ricardo Mojera... no one but me that is!

I was his favorite in contract talks with him for over three sims! Then when I was sure he would sign with me, on one of the 30 day sims... you swoop in and re-sign the guy.

Now he's 2-1 with a 2.00 ERA. 3 out of his 4 starts he's given up zero runs and he has a nice 23/6 K/BB ratio.

You are not on the list of my favorite people right about now.

I got desperate when LaRochelle bailed on me and needed a starter- I knew you had an offer for him and I knew he'd sign soon so I tried to blow him out of the water. I got really lucky.

He's not going to keep this up- he was pretty mediocre last year for me but was phenomenal in 1982. Hopefully, he falls into a nice 1.30-1.35 WHIP range and I'll be happy. I guess he likes being down in the South :).

[Clay]

HTML!!! (sniff) Oh how we've missed you...

[Delandis]

The Baltimore team pitching: 1.91 with 156 K's, 44 Walks, 5 SO through 19 games. I know its a long season ahead and we won't continue at this pace, but damn, we're nasty. Just needed some new blood around here.

[Clay]

Well, I'm sure you were told coming in... if nothing else, B'More has a pitching staff. Good young pitching and a huge budget is a nice combo.

Its not just the pitching staff. The performance of Tandy and Nick plus the insertion of Mabbett and the Starr pickup(both my moves, not Skerik) are putting us in a winning position. 1-5 we are tough to start against and if I can get some semblance of production from the bottom of the order, I might actually be a contender. All of this with the loss of Lanbin to Cali. By the way, 65 mil of the huge budget is hinged on two people and one player who has seen 5 AB.

[Ryan]

Wow, awesome 0-7 sim! Cant wait for the next one.

[Clay]

I don't know who I had higher expectations for... Virginia or Indy. They are both letting me down tremendously.
