Zach Duke is very ecstatic that he's going to the all-star game.

I simulated to break to do this new thing I'll try

Since there's no hr derby, I'll make my own

the games at Yankees stadium so I'll take 8 allstars and use them for homerun derby(in honerun derby)

and then I'll play it like a homerun derby and update

I'll put up a poll too.

AL:

Rodriguez(24) nyy
Dye(23) nyy
Hill(24) tor
Hafner(17) cle

NL:

Bruce(28) cin
Braun(22) mil
Pujols(27) stl
Beltran(22) nym

jacobye46 · **Posted:** Sat Aug 08, 2009 10:23 pm

So far:

Aaron hill with 6
Dye with 7

only 2 of 4 players from the al will move on

jacobye46 · **Posted:** Sat Aug 08, 2009 10:28 pm

A-Rod put up 7
Hafner only 3

Only 2 of 4 from each league will move on so

Rodriguez
Dye

move on

jacobye46 · **Posted:** Sat Aug 08, 2009 10:37 pm

Bruce: 9
Braun: 4
Pujols: 8
Beltran: 5

2nd round is:
Rodriguez
Dye
Pujols
Bruce

jacobye46 · **Posted:** Sat Aug 08, 2009 10:45 pm

Rodriguez: 5
Dye: 8

Dye moves on

Bruce: 4
Pujols: 9

Pujols moves on

So Dye and Pujols in the finals! I'll do this and the allstar game tommorow

my client is wondering why he has so many saves and such a high ERA. :shock:

Capps is happy, however, that the team is winning more and giving him more SVO's.
any sudden losing streaks, however, and he will probably become disgruntled.

Homerun Derby Finals!

Jermaine Dye finished with 9

National League All-Stars @ American League All-Stars

The AL dominances continue as the American Leagu all-stars were able to best the NL 5-4 in front of a Yankees Stadium crowd and the crowd got what they want. The story of the day was Alex Rodriguez who hit 2 homeruns and drove in 5 to earn the All-Star MVP honors in front of his own crowd. As for the Pirates, Zach Duke and Tyler Yates both pitched 1 scoreless inning each, both were ecstatic of the all-star experience.

Pittsburgh Pirates(40-55) @ Colorado Rockies(51-45)

After a 2-9 start in which the Pirates went from 6 games back to 12 games back, they started the unofficial 2nd half with a win in Colorado. Anibal Sanchez was dominant enough today where he went 6 1/3 innings, 3 runs but struck out 11 Rockie hitters, his main blemish was a 2 run homerun to Chirs Ianetta. But homers helped Sanchez as Jeff Clement and Garrett Jones both hit homeruns in the 1st and Jeff Salazar hit a pinch hit homerun in the 9th.

Pirates: 8
Rockies: 4

WP: Sanchez (7-4) | LP: Jimenez: (3-8)
HR: Pirates- Jones(15) Clement(5) Salazar(2) | Rockies: Ianetta(10)

What're the standings?

Pittsburgh Pirates @ Houston Astros

After taking 3 of 4 from Colorado in Coors Field, the Bucs lost a heartbreaker in 10 innings. The Pirates had an early 1-0 lead and kept a 1-0 lead into the 8th where Kazuo Matsui hit a dramatic 2 run homerun off of Tyler Yates to make it 2-1 Astros lead but the Pirates came right back when with 2 outs, Vazquez came off of the bench with a 2 run single to make it 3-2 Pittsburgh and it looked good until Hunter Pence sent a Matt Capps pitch onto the train with 2 outs to tie the game. To the bottom of the 10th where with runners on 1st and 3rd where Rivas threw home to try to get the out but it was a bad throw so Doumit tried to dive in to get the tag but it was too late and ends with a 4-3 loss in extras while questions still surround Matt Capp's as he blew his 4th save of the year and it erased what was a good start for Jeff Karstens

Pirates: 3
Astros: 4

WP: Brocail (3-3) | LP: Capps (1-5)
HR: Astros- Pence(20) Matsui(4)

Pence: 2-4, HR
Mastui: 1-4, HR
Rodriguez: 6 1/3 IP, 1 R

Doumit: 2-4, RBI
Vazquez: 1-1, PH 2-R Single
Karstens: 6 IP, 0 R, 9 K

you posted twice...

anyways, my client will demand a trade to another, better team in need of a closer if this slump persists (from 8 games below .500 to 14 games under in, what, 2 weeks?).
You can explore trade offers involving Capps, but let my client and I know of any and all of them.
Also, I will be Tyler Yates' agent.

jacobye46 · **Posted:** Sun Aug 09, 2009 6:08 pm

I'd have to trade Capps first and I deleted the 1st one of those posts that I made twice
