Hey Savoybg, what political party do you subscribe to? I ask because I have a very good idea of your answer. And it pertains to baseball :)

Strongly Democratic and liberal. I don't associate with any Trump supporters.

So how does it pertain to baseball?

By the way, I was an umpire for 26 years, high school, low level college occasionally, very good men's summer leagues. I worked games here in NJ with several high school kids who went on to MLB, like Herman Santiago, Vin Fizarro, Jack Egbert, Rick Porcello, and Reyes who was the Cards closer 2 years ago. There's about 10 more that I can't think of their names right now.

Final game of the series this afternoon we face Dick Bosman (2-2, 4.50). Patsy Flaherty (0-0, 0.00) gets his first star for us after debuting with a scoreless relief stint last week. Except for Hiller and Harris our bullpen has been dog schit. Gates finally back up to 95. Not gonna give him another start too soon.

Okay, we won our last game to finish 7-3. Pittinger went 8.1 innings on 2 days rest, allowing just 2 hits and one run. He finished 2-0, 2.84 in 4 starts. We finished in a 3 way tie for first place, 66 runs and 49 runs allowed. We scored the most runs in the league by far. We had 7 .300+ hitters out of 9 regulars (platoon in LF and the RH hitter was at .350 in 20 AB).

Mickey Cochrane with 15 RBI. Tommy Leach with 10 runs and 10 RBI. The team his .318 with an OBP of .399. We slugged .429 and had a team OPS of .827. Speaker and Boudreau each hit in all 10 games. Team ERA was 4.65. We played in the 1970s version of Yankee Stadium.

BTW, another problem I have with this sim is that they only have the more modern ballparks. They do not even have the 1923-1973 Old Yankee Stadium, with the real deep fences in CF and left center. They just have the 70s version after the park was revamped and the current stadium that opened in 2009. No Baker Bowl, No Forbes Field, No Griffith Stadium, etc...

I also don't see anyplace with league leaders like they have in the basketball game.
They have all the ballparks in this sim. You only played a sample 10 game season. When you sign on for a full -season team, you have more options.

and league leaders also. But you have to sign up for a 162 game team first, and you will have a lot more of the options you are lamenting the lack of. You only played a short sample team season.

Wait until he learns about the HOF cheat codes....
Today we prefer to call these "algorithms", but it amounts to the same thing as we all know !

What about spitballs? Gaylord Perry must be rolling over in the grave... Why can't Big Unit make a bird explode with a heater? Why can't we have Mike Hargrove (The Human Rain Delay) take an extra five minutes to work the pitcher? He's got that hand donut, right? Can Larry Walker wear his helmet backwards? Perhaps have an option for Doc Ellis to be on LSD, or maybe he's sober that day? Can I get Piniella or Weaver to kick dirt on home plate, fire his guys up? There's no option for the fire in the belly of the manager? Does Vince Coleman get rolled by a tarp? Why the hell not?? Where's the attention to details for crying out loud? We really should have had Tarek put more thought into this...sheesh.
The fact that my George Brett can’t put pine tar halfway up is that is beyond ridiculous. And I tried giving my big Mac some HGH but he’s still not hitting home runs like I feel like he should.
Wait - Doc Ellis on LSD?

I thought WE were supposed to take LSD when we have Ellis pitch. That explains a lot about my overall record !

But then...if it's not us taking the LSD, how do you explain boogerlips and bagchucker?

Down to 9-11 now with another series lost, 3-1. This time it was 8-4. We led 4-3 after 4, but then gave up 5 unanswered runs. Bosman goes 5 for the win with a 4 inning save from Clark Griffith. We have gone 2-7 after that 6 game winning streak.

https://www.whatifsports.com/slb/Boxscore.aspx?gid=40473497&pid=1&pbp=0&tf=10

Max Carey with 3 hits and 3 RBI for the winners, including his third HR. Chipper with his 9th double already. We had 10 hits, but just one double. Flaherty had a 3 run double. At least he can hit because he couldn't pitch well in this game. Yogi had 3 hits to finally get off the Interstate at .204. McCovey still doing nothing, went 0 for 4 with a K and is now slashing .214/.333/.314.

So a horrendous 2-6 start in the division. Team OPS of .662 and team ERA of 5.49. How the hell are we just 2 games under .500? Our RD says that we should be 7-13.

Okay, we next have a home and home with UWU, who seems to be the worst team in the league with an RD of minus 54 after 20 games. They'll probably star winning now against our sorry *****. Another Astrodome team with a great rotation - Maddux-Unit-Halladay-Spahn with big stars in their bullpen too.

This evening's game is at their place against the Unit (2-1, 3.67) We have Mitchell going (1-0, 4.36).

I was hungry and wanted a hotdog for lunch today. I usually get one at my favorite sports bar, but I was at Costco, so I ordered a hot dog. After taking one quick look at it, I didn't like the color of the dog, the texture of the bun, the color of the mustard I put on it, or the way the onions were sliced. I publicly made sure that everybody knew my dissatisfaction made sure that I emailed the management of Costco, telling them that their hotdogs were horse crap, along with the way they run their business. I'll publicly post their reply and make fun of it.

But I was still hungry, so I started eating it, and then decided to blog every single detail of every single bite of it along the way.
