SIM COMPLETE - 1989 - Regular Season 20

[Clay]

I, for one, welcome our new Colonial overlords.

I for two

Yes?

You should be happy. Proud even. My team was built to beat yours.

[Pat]

I'll be rooting for you in the Brewmaster's vs. the Guides.

That's really the best I can do.

Thats a fine effort, Pat.

You wanna get seats together? I'll buy the beer.

If I finish with the best record in the IL, it won't be Guides v Colonials. Have we ever had the two best records in the Cup?

[Carlos]

Maine needs to get over their recent hump in the post season. I'm sure that's running through Andrew's mind. His team has arguably been the best in the DL for the past few years (I'm talking about after his championship run) and he hasn't been able to pull it out.

[Carlos]

Gonna let Rafael Serjern handle lineup/bullpen duties for the rest of the year. We signed him for a reason and the Denver organization is going to give him a chance to showcase his talent.

He wanted to run less, the team is built to run less. This is his chance. Carlos Hernandez will stop advising him on his managerial duties.

Philly Freedom (67-56; 3.0 GB)
1-2 @ Maine: 1-2, 0-6, 5-1
2-1 @ Hartford: 2-1, 7-4, 11-12

The Good
-Orinosuke Takahashi - .368 | .400 | .789 | 1.189; 2 2B, 2 HR, 7 RBI

-Joe Arredondo - fell 1 out shy of a CG shutout. Had to settle for the complete game instead, allowing 1 ER on 4 hits and registering 5 strikeouts. Pretty good effort against the Guides

The Bad

-We have to win games where we score 11 runs and we failed to do that with a chance to sweep Hartford.

-We dropped two games in the standings this week. If we fall too much further back, that will be church. We can't afford to enter the stretch run more than a handful of games behind in the standings.

What’s Next

-A tough week for us: 3 @ LAM followed by 3 @ VIR. The Colonials appear to be the class of the IL right now. On the year we are 5-1 against VIR which means things will begin to average out this week more than likely. You can’t expect to keep that level of success up against a team like VIR.

I see your reverse jinx and I don't like it.
