Kind of a coincidence that you updated today, I pretty much just read the whole thing again within the last few hours.

As for the log itself, it's good, but I prefer the ones that are based off of characters you make in My Life mode.

I finished out the 2010 season, finally. Hilarious that I play this game almost in real time - nothing for 3 months, then a rash of gaming in a week.

August/September 2010

The 2010 season was great - I ended July hitting .350 with 9 homers and 80 steals, and while I kept stealing and hit a few more homers, my average dipped to the .330 area by the end of the season. I was also injured quite a few times, little 3 or 5 day things. At the end of the season I ran away with the steals title, and outfielder of the year (defensive award). I also won that in 2008, so whoopee!

The actual team was terrible, as usual - 13 games out or so. I can't even recollect how often I would get on base, steal 2nd, and then sit there while Furcal/Renteria/Chavez all struck out. It was even worse for me RBI wise - when the bottom of the order guys got on, I could NEVER come through. And the coach was always on me about it - I'm hitting .330 for crying out loud, 11 homers, and lead the league in steals!! And you get on me because I didn't get one hit in one game. Man I hate that guy.

I gathered some additional skills this year, as my darts skill rose to a C, and my culture rose to C as well. I can't read Advanced Baserunning (which makes you wonder - why are they available?) yet, but the Mystery and Adventure novels are done. I made the most out of the sponsorship this year, getting tons of bats and gloves/spikes from mizotto - I have filled my apartment with the stuff.

It came time to negotiate, and after making $420k, $850, and back to $750k - despite rookie of the year and my hitting/stealing prowess, I was done with Matthew. I spent a few days in September hanging out with Darryl - playing darts, playing chess - we got along decently, considering the dude's almost 50. I went with him for my contract, and am now making $1.5mil Not bad, considering I'm not even 25. Darryl took a chunk, almost $100k, but it's worth it. I can finally buy a condo of my own!

The A's franchise is weird. So many bad pitchers, so often they are shelled in the 1st or second inning and we're down for the game. At the same time we have Longoria smashing homers in the minors, while Chavez bats .250 cleanup in the bigs. I wonder if I'll play out the next 3 years here as I have the first, or if they'll just use Oakley or one of the newer guys and ship me off for pitching. That's what they did for so many years, but it seems like they just went braindead a few years back and stopped or something.

For now I'll hope we add some good pieces for Spring Training. I'm off to dress up for Halloween, and probably Christmas too.

--------

One weird thing - this year, at the outset of spring training (2011) the amount donated went WAY up. Like a thousand per hit, or $2500 per homer or something ridiculous. And I don't remember getting a choice this time - it was just contribute one of the three. Holy heck! Punishing the rich, I tell yah! :)
