Pilsner baby.

The slow climb to .500 continues.

My goal is to win the division by the all star break.

[Matt]

I think Pat's MR Matthews had a rough week.

It might happen. Someone joked about the playoff odds being off with your average wins before, but 129 seems like its in play to me. Your team is just scary good.

[Matt]

Is there any way to set it where certain MR's appear or does the computer just pick whoever they like that game.

The ordering system seems to mean nothing.

Carolina Tobs- 16-16, 1st in Bock
This Week: 4-2 (1-2 @ Batavia, 3-0 @ Baltimore)

The Good
- Amato Albors had a great week, .417/.464/.667. We needed him to step up this season if we were going to compete and so far he has done so.

-Hector Castre had a very good start breaking a string of poor performances, giving up 1 earned over 8 innings, striking out 10.

-Our bullpen continues to pitch very well. I thought they would be an absolute disaster, but so far my pen leads the IL with a 2.76 ERA. I know I just jinxed it, but so far they've been great.

-We're in first place. Don't ask me how, but we are.

The Bad
-We got shut down in our 2 losses at Batavia. This team just doesn't hit consistently enough to be true contenders.

-Shawn Gates continues to suck. I remember when I thought I had a future stud after his first couple seasons in the BLB. I'm not sure what happened, but OOTP X hasn't been kind to him.

The Ugly
-Tajo Delclos is out 4-5 months with a broken elbow. With him now gone for the rest of the season, we're screwed. I don't have anyone else capable of starting games that I can see at either the big league or AAA levels. Not sure what we're going to do about this.

[Carlos]

Pilsner baby.

Tell me about it. Craziness and to think that Indy hasn't joined the party yet (and they are on their way).

Denver might need some 5-1 weeks to separate themselves from the rest of the pack. Happy with another 4-2 sim, but it's not even enough anymore! Pilsner, baby, indeed.

Correct. The game will pick who it wants... regardless of how you set it.

Although it does seem to stick with the SU/CL roles pretty well.

Feeder leagues are either in the playoffs or finished. That Doug Coates guy at Cal looks like a pretty good pitcher.

Washington Bats (19-13) - Sim #5
1-2 vs. Philly: 2-5, 5-1, 6-9
1-2 @ California: 4-5, 3-7, 7-0

The Good
-Robert Abbott leads the BLB in average after going 12/28, raising his mark to .396
-Carl Pateshall and Martin Calrton have combined, given up 7 ER this season.

The Bad
-Joe Rodriguez is moving to the bullpen. Another bad start.
-Michio Nago is hurt again (shocking!). He will miss three weeks.

The Ugly
-River Matthews looks a little rusty.

I don't think we're as good as our record though. I play in a pretty weak division (currently 11-0 vs the Ale) and my hitters have been absolutely raking.

Plus we're always good for a big injury that will derail our championship hopes.

- I told Dallas last year when the Pateshall trade went down that he was going to revert back to being an Ace in the IL and that he had all but guaranteed a Bats championship by shipping him there.

- Our apologies to Mr. Matthews' family. We're sorry they had to see that.

-He loves pitching here.

-I can't believe you didn't mention the fact that this is the first time the Washington-Philly series didn't end 2-1 for the Bats.
