SIM COMPLETE - 1985 - Regular Season 7

[Andrew]

Next sim: Sunday

Maine 1B Eddie O'Fallon moved past Gremades on the top player list.

[Sully]

4-2
4-game home series with Virginia this week, or to steal a horrible joke from another thread, the COLONials....or whatever it was.

We're playing about as well as we can without Gorrie in the lineup. Stoltzfus is filling in nicely. The pitching had a better week. We're about where I thought we'd be at this point in the season. It's going to be a fight to the end.

That Top Players list is puzzling at times. Since Gremades was mentioned, I'll use him as an example. I think he should be a couple spots higher, maybe Lumar being the only one I don't like being placed above him. Still, Gremades might not even be the best player on his own team. That player isn't on the list, Buzzell. I think Dani Alvarez will be on there eventually. He looks like the real deal, and there's no other 1B I'd rather have at this point.

it's pretty much over on my end. look for trade block soon.

Two competitive series against Pitt (1 - 2) and Syracuse (2 - 1). Thanks to significant off-season investments in both smoke AND mirrors, the Furry Pigs find themselves sitting atop the Lager division by 8 games over the Gamblers.

Lest I get too excited, I see I've lost my best bat for 3 weeks due to a sore elbow. WUSS!

I see I no longer possess the ability to connect to the league server for in-game exports. Neither can I d/l the league file in-game. Am I destined to a life of e-mails and web pages? Or is this a temporary situation?

Lager = NL West

This division is going to be fun for quite some time. Sin City's age was bound to catch up with it. Los Lunas is a solid all-around organization. Good to see the organization where I got my start in first.

My team just loses a ton of close games- now 4-12 in one run ballgames. -5 pythagorean record, unluckiest team in the league (and worst team in the league!). Keep truckin along guys.

[Jim]

Same here...can't DL league file. Any idea what to do?

[Guest]

Yeah I can't either.

4-2, but Nazaire went down for 7 weeks. Need an OF pronto.

SEIs are out of control...3 in 3 days in AA:

Damn, I hate losing Nomar in AA for the rest of the year. I was really hoping he'd start to put it together and get into AAA this year.

Another winning sim, 5-1. I'm not quite sure how they're putting this all together after last season, but damn its nice. 16-4 in the last 20 games and 8 games over .500.

[liquidcrash]

We went 4-2, bouncing back a bit from our last 2 weeks. Parongao continues to be awesome. Our bullpen continues to suck. All is normal in Carolina.

Ed Ferguson is out for the year with a radial nerve compression. Never seen that one. He's not really that good, but his ability to play multiple positions well in the field made him a somewhat valuable player. We shouldn't miss his bat too badly though.

You'll need to download it manually. I posted the link here:

1-5.

[Andrew]

6-0. The Maine bats woke up big time. 12 HR's on the week including 5 from Fallon and 4 from Caballero. The biggest plus this week was the play of SS Clarence Evans. I rushed him to the majors after MacCabe's injury because we're so thin at middle infield and he is a great fielder. He went 12-24 this week with a HR and 8 RBI.

[Clay]

I like Clarence Evans... liked him in the Draft... like him now.

Virginia Colonials (25-19) - Week 6

5-1

2-1 @ Philly
3-0 @ Batavia

THE GOOD
- 5-1 sim on the road... can't really find much that isn't good about a stretch like that. Lost one game on a two-out, bottom of the 9th wild pitch by Carlton. The rest of the way won some close ones and some blowouts. Again, no major complaints with the week.

- Wilton Harcourt must have liked Management's declaration that the Murcott move was a largely a money play to pick up his option. Harcourt responded with 4 bombs and a .464 OBP this week. He even stole a base.

- There was a lot of layers to the Frank Hamlet deal, but Management's feeling that Hamlet was a pure RBI producer... something that Virginia felt they were missing... was showcased in his first week. While he hit only .269, he drove in 10 runs for the Colonials this week boosting his average with RISP to .359. Welcome to Virginia, HamBone.

THE BAD
- If there is something to bitch about in a 5-1 SIM, it's that we only picked up a game in the standings with Wilmington going 4-2. The Stout is easily the best division in the IL and probably in the BLB. It's going to be a dogfight. I still expect to finish in 4th.

- We need to get Frank Dallyn on a milk carton.

- With the exit of Murcott, O'Hegarty will now get the lead-off spot against all pitchers. He responded by having his worst week of the season. And, sadly, his former Los Lunas farm-hand roommate, Joshua Poliing followed suit.

THE UGLY
