I'm about as sad as when I found out that the Rangers had traded Gentry

So...this...is...over...?!

No!!!!!

I blame Tommy Weaver

#bantommyweaver2014

But, yeah, this is not fun news. Sad to see this go, man.

I've too much invested in the storyline to abandon this. Don't really know what I'll do, but I'm not willing to let it die. This already happened once and I just simulated up to the same point in the season, so I guess I don't really have a choice but to do that again.

I should have a backup save.

Always have a backup save. Dolphins be damned

I'll actually probably get rid of that Tigers save. I don't even know what that is. Might be a dream draft.

Uh... what?

Jesus has risen!

Honolulu Gunmen (39-29) vs. Texas Rangers (31-37)
June 16th-18th

Key Players:

Tony Centeno - SP
7-4, 3.78 ERA, 81.0 IP, 68 K
92, B, B, 2SFB(2), SCB(3), CHG(3), H-SNK(4), Spin 4, Groundball P, Safe Pitch, Gd Reflexes, Unlucky, Star
Bio: Tony is a 33-year old right hander notorious for getting little to no run support. His bread and butter pitch is his sinker, which is he uses frequently to induce ground balls.
Analysis: Centeno is having another productive year, and he's actually getting support from his offense.

C.J. Wilson - SP
4-4, 3.12 ERA, 83.2 IP, 73 K
94, D, A, SLD(3), CB(3), CHG(2), SIFB(2), Groundball P, Gd Delivery, Power P
Bio: C.J. Wilson is an excellent complement to Tony Centeno. His biggest flaw is his tendency to under-use his breaking pitches, as he mostly relies on his fastball.
Analysis: Wilson is leading the Rangers in ERA and strikeouts.

Josh Hamilton - CF
.211, 5 HR, 24 RBI
3, B, A, D, C, D, E, Clutch Hit 4, Power Hitter, Spray Hitter, VS Lefty 2, Aggressive HTR
Bio: 27-year old Josh Hamilton is currently one of the best power hitters in the game. He regularly is among the league leaders in batting average, doubles, home runs, and slugging percentage.
Analysis: Hamilton is having an absolutely dreadful season for an absolutely dreadful offense.

Projected Pitching Match-ups:

Game 1
Akinori Otsuka (3-3, 5.16) vs. Kason Gabbard (3-6, 5.89)
