[Pat]

3-3 sim. 3-0 against California, 0-3 against Carolina.

SP goes 3-0....bullpen goes 0-3...

[Z]

I lost a series to Virginia? Are you serious?

[Lintyfresh85]

0-3 to Washington... 2-1 against Morgantown.

Sigh.

[Ryan]

2-4 sim. My pitching was atrocious all around.

[Spectre]

1-5 sim, ouch

Careening towards the #1 pick though. My top two new arms, Sammy Homer and Pat McCoy, had good starts to their career. It will be fun to watch them develop.

[Carlos]

My team is so up and down.

[Whale]

2-1 against Miss, 2-1 against Indy. Nothing to write home about, but only 2 games under .500 after a 5-17 start. Best part? Apparently Jack Curry. After starting 0-4 with a 6.00+ ERA, Curry has gone 5-2 with a 2.27 ERA, not allowing greater than 2 runs in his last 7 starts.

[Matt]

Wahoo we finally got something in the News section...our 3B is out for 7 months. I guess no news really is good news.

3-3 ain't bad. Little by little I am shuffling this team around. When some starters go down to AA there is a little team anger.

Just yesterday SS Ed Cheatham (demoted to AA) put me in a headlock and tried to throw me to the ground in the clubhouse.

[Delandis]

2nd consecutive 2-4 sim and Philly is just 6 back...Latham needs to get healthy.

[Jistic]

Nice to see Kirby come back after his 10 day vacation...that was just weird.

3-3, lost a series to that stinky Virginia team.

5 more days til Tilbrook comes back. Tied for first in the division with my old adversary, the Carolina Tobs. Nice to see you old friend.

4-2 (2-1 v WC / 2-1 v Philly)

- 12-9 in June (best record in the Stout in June - only winning record in Stout in June)
- 5 straight .500 or better sims
- Oyos and Magness both go 7+ and register impressive wins
- Danny Nelson continues to hit
- Harcourt has a 4-5 with a triple and 2 three-run homers in the same game (7 RBIs) to make his statement for his IL 2B All-Star spot (NOTE: This was a 93 game score for the Top Performance of the season thus far among all hitters)

In the minors, wasn't sure that Jerry Tracy was ready for AAA, but gave him the bump anyway since he's already 24 and will likely get the call next season. He responds by winning IL AAA Player of the Week with an impressive debut sim:

12-26 -- 4 2B -- 3 HR -- 10 RBI -- 10 R -- .462/.512/.962/1.485

I'm not sayin'... I'm just sayin'

[Jake]

What an awesome 0-6 sim for Syracuse. I mean, 0-6 sims are usually pretty sweet, but this one was even better.

-Rookie Raul Zamora had his 18 game hitting streak snapped. But the good news, he's hit safely in 21 of 22 games since being called up. And he just took a ratings bump up. I was really worried about calling him up and ruining him like I'm going to do to the rest of my prospects. But he's the real deal.

-AA OF Joe Esquivel wins AA Hitter of the Week in his first sim after being promoted from A ball. He's done nothing but hit at each level so far.

-We gave up 69 runs in 6 games last sim (Maine and Pittsburgh). Really awesome.

[Clay]

1.5 Pick Arlen Spencer was his debut for Blacksburg. Not overpowering, as we expected, but a 68% GB% in his debut is the type of guy we were after.

1.15 Florian Tosselli hit .353 before bruising his wrist and will be pulled back for a week to not risk deeper injury

[Jistic]

Also, our first round pick Yoshinaka Toiguchi is now the highest rated prospect for hitters of this draft class. He seemed to take a bump.
