I assume you'll be simulating some of these season games?

I'll take Andrew and Buchanan.

Yes, I will be. I'll play one game each series and let the computer take care of the rest. The simulated games I'll post like I did before.

I see the games are set up like mine!

I'll follow, sir.

And I'll take Velazquez and Chiasson

Player of the Game: F. Thomas - Knocked in winning run with hit in bottom of the 3rd inning

WP: DiNardo (1-0)
LP: Bourgeois (0-1)
SV: Street
HR:
Cunnane [1]

The scoring started in the top of the third, when Cunnane ripped a solo shot to right to put the Sharpshooters in the lead. But then, with one out in the bottom of the third and the bases loaded for the A’s, the umpire makes a truly horrific call. Thrown to second for one out, and then to first to end the inn-No wait, never mind. He’s safe! Terrible. The A’s tie it up. Afterwards, Frank Thomas rips a line drive base hit to left to score another run, 2-1 Athletics now. Trying to get some insurance, Mark Ellis drives in Denorfia from third and puts Suzuki on second now, with no outs. Then, Chavez grounds out for an RBI, after Suzuki moved to third on a deep fly ball. But that’ll be all that was scored as neither team could muster anything else up.

BREAKING NEWS
The pitcher in today's game, Bourgeois, left the game with elbow pain in the bottom of the fifth inning. The trainers say he only left as a precaution. Bourgeois had this to say. "It was nothing too major. Just some stiffness and discomfort. I didn't want to risk straining it or something, so I asked if they could take me out. It's still early in the season; don't want to be too risky." Bourgeois will make his next start.

@ Athletics:

4/5: L 8-0
4/6: L 8-2

Next game vs. Angels. I'll play it later today.

More elbow pain? That stinks.

I know; and both times they weren't even showing signs of tiring yet.

The scoring began in the top of the third. After two consecutive base hits, Gary Matthews Jr. ripped a base hit, and two runs score. After a Guerrero base hit to put runners on the corners, Garret Anderson singles Gary Matthews Jr. home to make it 3-0. Afterwards, Casey Kotchman hits a fair ball down the line at third which rattles all the way to the corner, scoring another run. But then, Howie Kendrick hits another base hit and two more runs score, 6-0 Angels now. After that, an inning ending double play occurs to end the bleeding. After two base hits in the fifth, the center fielder Chiasson drops a fly ball out there and Guerrero scores from third. After a base hit by Kotchman, another run scores; 8-0 Angels now. But then, the first pitch in the bottom of the fifth, Chiaffred hits a line drive bullet which just clears the fence; the Sharpies are on the board. Then, after a double by Traber, and a K from McClellan, Cunnane hits an absolute bomb for a two run homer. 8-3 now. After a base hit by Figgins, Gary Matthews hits an absolute bomb to left to make it 10-3 Angels. In the top of the seventh, after a base hit from Kendrick, yet another home run is hit by Napoli to make it 12-3. Don’t think it was over yet. In the top of the ninth, Torii Hunter hits a 446’ bomb; 13-3. After a base hit from Buchanan, bottom 9, McLeary hits a two-run shot. Can they stage a comeback? And then, after Chiaffred’s base hit, Weibl hits a tworun homer himself that just clears! But…no comeback. That’s all they’ll get…

Player(s) of the Game: Silva - 7 hit shutout victory
Ibanez - Knocked in winning run with hit in bottom of the 1st inning

WP: Silva (2-0)
LP: Pote (0-2)
SV: -
HR: Sexson [4]

The scoring started quickly. After a leadoff double by Ichiro in the bottom of the first, Ibanez got a double of his own to get him in from second. Afterwards, Sexson got another double which drove in Ibanez to make it 2-0. After an out and a single, Vidro brought in Sexson from third to make it 3-0. But then, in the bottom of the second, after three consecutive singles, Sexson hits a two-out grand slam to make it 7-0. Now in the bottom of the fifth, after a single by Betancourt, Johjima drives him in from first with a double. But that’s all either team will get, as the Sharpshooters lose 8-0 in a depressing game. And plus, Pote's spot start did not go as planned, he only went 2 innings letting up 7 runs.

Next game vs. Athletics. It'll be played this afternoon.

Yikes.

1-10, that's a bummer. Next year, they'll be good. Hopefully

Don't get your hopes up.

I'll post the next update soon...I'm busy making a success character who should benefit us.

Tobias Busch...

That's a good idea, mac. I might get a Success character for my MillionAir team.
