1 game behind who?

And this isn't a big deal at all but for pictures for logos, if you're going something like; Gisnts vs A's using logos, then try to make them the same size and it looks pretty cool
You can do advanced search for google images and do it width:50 and length:50 and you can find some pretty cool small logos but that's just a tip

Who? I thought you guys would know. It's the Dodgers sorry.

I know, I have trouble using my photo place to edit them the same size and then keep them that size. I might try using google images, but I'm afraid I might have trouble finding everything I need.

Thanks.

EDIT- I tried the search and found everything, but how do I get the pictures onto one of my posts?

First press the picture then it'll go to the site of it, on the top left where the picture is, right click it and copy shortcut onto the lost, then highlight it and press the IMG button above the post

Ok, thanks I'll be sure to use that in my next preview or something.

I am also going to be simming to the All-star, but will keep you up important events.

Con G
Pwr D
Run Spd G

is currently practicing his trajectory, very raw and poor in everything but power, I needed the power so I'll take the risk of improving him.

Round 2:
Bittner P
19
R/L
93 MPH

Very good pitcher.

Round 3:

R/L
89MPH
Cont: C
Stam: C
Cut: 3
Sld: 1

Refined, could be major league ready with a few months of seasoning.

Round 4:
Scobie
20
R/R
91 MPH
Cont: E
Stam: C
Palm: 3
Sld: 2

Raw, but will have time to develop, good long-term project

Round 5:
Daigle
20
L/L
90
Cont: E
Stam: C
Sld: 1
Cut: 2
Fork 2

Raw same as Scobie to certain degree

Giants also signed Undrafted free agent

Snead:
25
R/L
85
Ctrl: E
Stam: C
Sld: 1
kncb: 1
Cb: 2

Breaking balls are below average, poor fastball and at 25, won't have much time to develop. Needs to play well in minors.

So you got the first two in the draft, but then signed the other 4 as FA's?

DrMario · **Posted:** Mon Jul 06, 2009 7:40 pm

Yeah, basically, the first two up there are obviously the draftees the last 3 are just pretty good undraftees.

GIANTS ACQUIRE CATCHER KOTTARAS

The Giants have anounced their latest move, once again their trade partner being the Red Sox. This time however they acquire defensive catcher George Kottaras for Shortstop Brian Bocock.

STRUGGLING MOLINA HAS BEEN TRADED

To the Cardinals for his younger brother, Yadier Molina. Yadier is expected to be starting next game. Clete Thomas was also acquired, an undisclosed amount of cash was involved.

MEDDERS PUTRID PITCHING CONTINUES

Cain pitched a great game so I put in Medders for the 8th in a tied 0-0 game, in the next 3 outs, he gave up 7R 6 of them ER. Medders has been put on the trade block, but Giants management isn't sure what they will be able to get.

NL ALL-STARS PREVAIL!!
With a win 11-4. Sorry not enough time to do anything else.

Also, I am looking to trade Rowand, to drop a little pay. I will need another Centerfield, although I wouldn't mind having Clete Thomas, Ruggiano, Timpner split time there. I would also maybe like a great bullpen pitcher (not a closer)

So what I would want would be:
Centerfielder (with a lower pay than 12000)
Bullpen pitching
Good Utility outfielder.

Longball714 · **Posted:** Tue Jul 07, 2009 2:20 pm

For pitchers, look at Fernando Cabrera of the Orioles, Kevin Hart of the Cubs, and Joba Chamberlain of the Yankees.
For utility outfielders, I recommend Cody Ross of the Marlins. (You can also grab Anibal Sanchez in the same trade)
As for center fielders, I HIGHLY recommend Curtis Granderson, who has a 6100 contract over 4 years, and will consistently hit 20-40 homers for you.

jacobye46 · **Posted:** Tue Jul 07, 2009 2:36 pm

It may take alot to get Granderson and only get Ross if you can;t get Granderson
I might suggest the Ross deal if you can get ANibal Sanchez, PURE BEAST

stevenjackson39 · **Posted:** Tue Jul 07, 2009 5:24 pm

B.J. Upton is a great pick. Ross is good too, but his fielding NEEDS work.

DrMario · **Posted:** Tue Jul 07, 2009 7:37 pm

Fernando Cabrera is in the Red Sox system now.

Granderson might be a good idea, it would be dropping almost 6K payload.

I can cross off Joba beacause he was traded to the Rockies (in my game) and there is no way I am giving division rival my all-star center fielder Aaron Rowand, I am trading him really beacause he has been under-achieving.

Well, jackson, would call batting .315 with 12 homers and 58 Ribbies 16 stolen bases a Rowand thing, it's not bad, but I mean I was hoping he would be the home run anchor, Winn and Renteria are both batting better than him (.319, .352 respectively) he does lead the team with 28 doubles, but AT&T park is good for getting doubles. He also has 11 errors.

I want to trade for someone, but I'm not sure who, and what position it should be...

I also say no to Anibal beacause I already have my 5 solid starters.

I am going towards B.J beacause look at the payroll I'd drop, from 12K to 400. He has the power, and the speed of rowand. He also has better fielding skills.

URIBE RBI LIFTS GIANTS

GIANTS 1 BREWERS 0

It was a pitchers duel to the end! Looper and Cain battled it out for the game. A hit was hard to come by. It was good game. The Brew Crew's best chance came in the fifth, with a runner on 1st and 2nd. Cain got out of the jam with a double play. In the end, Juan Uribe's RBI single won the game for us in the 8th. Brian Wilson came on in the 9th and struck out the side for his 23rd save of the year.

Box Score:

1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|R|H|E
Giants 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 7 0
Brewers 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0
