Good Luck, again

I'm still following!

BELIEVE!!!!!!!

Also, how did House do this year?

House is having a great year for a catcher, but I'm having troubles getting his arm and fielding from G to F

And we lost and the rally towels in chitown were being waved because white sox won
So we're tied with 1 game to go

Edit: the red sox and angels are tied for the wild card, another thing to watch

You can buy a glove from the shop to make fielding practice more effective.

I don't have enough points because I accidently didnt say yes to extra points and I already got other stuff but he'll be fine after awhile

In other news: I'm losing 4-3 in the 9th because Clemente blew a save and now House and Caroll are out of the game because of defensive subs, I wish I knew how the white sox were doing

We lost...
But the white sox lost too!:-)

Now I wonder what happens...

ONE
GAME
PLAYOFF!!!!!!

Your right!

Blanco starts for me(12-10, 4.49 ERA, 198.1 IP)

Vs

Gavin Floyd(3.49 ERA, 10-5, 129 IP)

It's my first ever 1-game tiebreaker and let's hope it's a good one! I'm at home for it too!

BELIEVE, but this game will be later

Oooh, suspense!

BELIEVE in suspense

I didn't know that they had those in power pros. What date is it on? Did it force the playoffs back a day or two?

Final Thoughts:

This was actually an up and down season but it was mainly upsetting. Well our offense was up and down and we really should've ran away with this division but a 10-16 August prevented that. Offensivly, we were good but our potential is alot better than that. Ikari was suppoed to bat around .280-.290 and hit 20-25 HR but he got nowhere close to those. Chavez managed to heat up in the end but he was expected to bat around .300 and hit maybe 5 or 6 more homeruns. For the bright side, Cooper had an MVP type season but he won't get an award because of the amazing DH of the Eagles(51 HR, .321 AVG). Caroll has alot of speed and will go for more stolen bases next year but him and Hawk were amazing. Hawk was arguably the MVP in Phoenix because of his work on the field and bat and on the base paths for some instances. Pitching was good too. We had an amazing bullpen, noone had an ERA over 4 and Clemente only blew 3 saves in 43 chances which is more than what can be expected, our rotation was iffy. Blanco was supposed to be a true ace but Towers deserves that role with how he pitched. Blanco had the most innings and was good enough for the team. Valentine's record and 4.60 ERA don't look special but he had 14 quality starts and he had 5 complete games(but he was the only Desert with no shutouts). Massett held his own but the biggest dissapoinment was truly Nixon who had a very rough season and allowed 34 homeruns. Well there still one more game, lets hope we can make it!

I was just as suprised as you but its on October 2nd and it doesn't force anything back
Its apparently not a regular season 163rd day because I was looking at stats when I was looking at my lineup and they had blank stats
Well it's a nice discovery but I kinda wonder why the game's at 12:00 am

That way if it goes extras normal people can watch.

Haha but if it doesn't then it ends at 3:00 am
I think it might be 12:00 pm though but I don't remember

I wonder what jack will say about the one-game playoff
