Years ago when I played live, I had a Phillie franchise team in a modern era theme. 109 wins in the regular season, and the top two Cy Young candidates in '72 Steve Carlton and '67 Jim Bunning. Naturally, the team got swept in the first round by an 80 win team. My two Cy Young studs started all three games, and finished with playoff ERA's around 15.00. As I recall, we got slaughtered in the 3 games by about a combined 45-5 score.
And oh yeah, since the entire series was played live, I got to enjoy each and every at-bat as it unfolded on my screen.
