Well, I pitched 2 innings of no-hit ball against the Rays, but the game against the Orioles was completely different.
I faced one batter, Aubrey Huff, threw him a knuckle-curve, and he grounded out to first.
Next thing I know, Jeremy Accardo is walking out of the bullpen, and I get 1 pitch added to my stats, that's it.
At least I didn't give up a run. :roll:

Pitched three innings of relief today and vultured a win.
Let's see how the rest plays out, I think I've pretty much got it made, though...

Was expecting to get shanghaied by the Pirates, but I only gave them one hit in 3 innings.
One more game...

And they'll get some lucky run and you'll be sent to AAA because you're horrible. :lol:

It was ugly (2.1 innings, 3 hits), but I made it.
I'm in the majors, while Oakley is in AAA.
By the way, Jeremy Accardo offered to help me with anything.
He's a pretty nice guy, ya know?

Raul:
Easily my best game yet tonight.
Playing against the Blue Jays' AAA team, I hit my first homer, a 370 foot shot that planted itself in the left field bleachers, a double, and not just one, but 2 triples.
I had 5 ribbies, 2 runs, and one SB, for a total of 14 stolen bases, and my average is at .800
Pretty good, wouldn't you say?
Hoping to get called up by the 11th, a week from today, so I can face the Yankees.

Normal.
I always forget to change the difficulty, gonna up it once I *spoiler*crack the starting lineup*spoiler*.

Raul:
Hell yeah.
Got called up today, Oakley gave me $1,000 for dinner, that rich little punk.
Surprisingly, I had probably my worst game of yet, going 3-4 with 2 doubles in a losing effort.
I missed an opportunity to drive in 2, though, they woulda won the game for us.
Eh, screw them.

Side note: Oakley actually has been playing so badly that he's been benched.
On the AAA team.
Way to go, man. Looks like $1,000 couldn't buy you a hit.
Now let's see if I can upend Lugo.

Raul:
It was raining in Fenway Park, and I was prepared to grab my crisp new BoSox jacket and get out before it turned into a Northeasterner or whatever you call it, but I got the call to pinch hit in the 8th inning.
We were down 2-1.
I was facing Joel Zumaya, who, when healthy, has the fastest fastball you'll ever see.
I somehow got a hold of his first pitch, a fastball, and it landed in the left field corner, just in front of Jacque Jones, for a double in my first at-bat. The Fenway Faithful gave me a standing ovation for my first hit, and I had absolutely no clue what to do.
We went on to win 3-2.

Afterwards, Terry Francona gave me $500 for my performance.
Maybe it wasn't such a bad day after all...

After going 3-3 in PH's and stealing 2 bases (including one against the Yanks), I'm DHing and in the 9 spot.
Proudest day of my life, since I'm single. (Ladies? Anyone?)

Normal on both? Does the manager always pay $500? I got paid $500 too. I don't remember what for though...

I think, also, that this could be a good log. I hope this turns out good on both sides.
