I dont know Todd, looked up the two teams and looks maybe like the Pirates... Josh or Fish, you want to share your opinion?

We are past the deadline, in the sake up keeping this thing going, sabre give us the PIRATES

Same for our team, if you like 1 of the Reds teams post it here. First come first serve. I will choose my team by 6PM tonight.

 We also need an alternate team, as 1 of our teams cjkbjk doesn't want to play anymore. Can we recruit somebody to play off this last series?

Is that ok with your team Fish?

Totally ok, though I would prefer it to be someone not previously in the game, but do what you need to do.

I'll take the 1909 Pirates if nobody else wants them, if someone does, i am fine picking a different team.

I'll play with the 1960 Pirates

  I'm gonna take the 76 Reds. I'm waiting to hear from hoser1 to see if he wants to take our 4th position. Or is anybody else interested?

I'll take 1979 Pirates

Toddle - That leaves you with either the 1925 or 1971 Pirates

  Aljohn will use the 75 Reds, Bigsteve will use the 1940 Reds, and Hoser1 will use the 90 Reds. Let the games begin.

Hmmm...lol... not much pitching from either... I'll go with the 1925 Pirates & the bats.  Play Ball !!

Thanks again for hosting this sabre !  Appreciate you taking all the time to put this together & think of interesting concepts

And game 1 of my series v. Fish goes to my 1940 Reds.  CG victory for Bucky Walters.  3-2 the final. '79 Pirates started Kison.
In game 2, the 1940 Reds bats came to life, giving us a 2-0 series lead...Final: 19-1, Turner makes it back-to-back CGs for the Reds with a 4 hitter. Reds P: Jim Turner, Pirates: Candelaria
Game 3 sees a big 7th inning rally by the Pirates to breathe life into the series...Pirates win after trailing 3-0 in the 7th, final: 5-3.  Ps: Reds: Derringer, Pirates: Blyleven
Game 4 again goes to the road team, this time in 12 innings, 8-7 Pirates.  My Reds again blew an early lead, this time 5-1 in the 7th not enough. Ugh. 2-2 going to game 5.
Game 5 finally goes to the home team....a 9 run bottom of the 8th erases a 4-1 Pirates lead and now the Reds will head to Pittsburgh trying to wrap it up in game 6. Final: 10-4.
Game 6 brings us to a game 7....Pirates get 3 in the 2nd and make it hold up, 3-2. Reds leave the bases loaded in the 8th...been a pretty good series outside of game 2.
Game 7 and the series belong to the 1940 Reds...7-2 winners in game 7.  Reds used another strong effort by Walters, coupled with a big 4 run first inning to win the game and the series.


Good series Fish.
