SIM COMPLETE - 1988 - Regular Season 16

[Carlos]

I'm taking one quick shot while I can. I lose my Closer for 90% of the remainder of the season and I'd have to say my run is over. The one positive is the timing. With Magness coming back, McSwain goes back to the 'pen and likely will Close for us. Grrrr... the run was fun while it lasted.

You may soon discover that Magness is a clubhouse cancer.


Seriously, though, what if that were the case?

[BradZ]

Yea, at least in my case I sent you a healthy player who forgot how to hit*


*Note that this is a joke. I told Brad that Seagarra will warm up in the second half. He always does. Look at him now.

He's definitely starting to heat up a bit. After hitting roughly .230 | .320 | .360 for the first three months he's turned it up to .328 | .439 | .448 in July. Seems like getting hit in the eye with a baseball didn't affect his ability to get on base, even when he wasn't hitting for average.

3-4

Trade deadline should be interesting.

[Whale]

No idea what to take from my team. Pull a lovely 10-18 in June, lose Castro and Dameron for a bit, and then go 13-6 in July. We still have a ton of home games in August too with Castro back in 2 weeks. Buy? Sell? Hold?!

Wow...

Los Alamos Bandits: SP R. Vest was injured while pitching. The Diagnosis: torn UCL (Tommy John surgery). He's expected to miss about 13-14 months. Unreal Spot. I feel bad. Dude didn't even last a full inning.

So, I still have my receipt. Can i get a refund?

When you say he didn't even go 1 inning I think you meant to say he didn't even throw 10 pitches.

I'm bummed, I was really excited about Vest. He was one of those guys that might have worked those ratings up. Oh well.

Yeah dude, I was excited to see what he could do with regular starts. You got good medical there in New Mexico?

Good? No, we have Nuclear Medicine.

[Carlos]

Send him over to Denver. We'll take care of him.

Not until you actually offer something worth a damn. You remind me of a used car salesman every time I get a PM from you. As Maury Ballstein once said...in a way... you take a crap, wrap it in tinfoil, put a couple fish hooks on it and try to sell it to Queen Elizabeth as earrings. No deal!!!

[Gyrodork]

Wow...

Spoiler

Sorry to LL for Shinamius getting hurt immediately after you got him...I wonder if it's something in the water in LL since you've had so many OFers go down.

We're taking soil and water samples now. I'm thinking it's got something to do with "Area 51". Who knows what kind of crazy shit is buried there.

So...I need another bat...

Joe Cuevas is available.

[Gyrodork]

Joe Cuevas is available.

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately Joseph is way out of my price range. We're on a permanent austerity budget in Los Lunas due to our market size and budget constraints from the owner.

That's why we were kinda excited to finally be able to make a trade with a big market team. Normally we can't afford the salary. Very disappointing Shinamius hits .346 with 2 HRs for the week and then goes down with a strained quad. Should have known...He hadn't had his one injury per season yet.

What the fuck are you talking about? Winchel is a better pitcher than Jorge.
