There's already a lot of log teams - new or old, that use Round Rock as their city.

I like Fukushima, for what it's worth.

Yeah, it's a good name.

I had to Google Round Rock to find out where it is.

Don't worry... so did I when I was making the teams for my log.

I mindlessly simmed past the game I was going to play but we won 5-4 in 12 innings on a Scott Rolen walk-off triple.

The scoring began in the top of the fourth when Jim Thome hit an RBI single to right with a runner on second. Yorvit Torrealba would then hit a pair of runs home from second and third to extend the lead. Then, in the top of the seventh, Jim Thome hit a grand slam to make it 7-0. Then, in the top of the ninth, Jim Thome hit another home run to make it 8-0. The Indians extend their lead to 9 when Brandon Moss hits an RBI groundout. They would add an insurance run also. But, in the bottom of the ninth, Richie Sexson gets an RBI single with runners on the corners to make it 10-1. Can the Snake battle back from an amazing deficit? Nope. They lose 10-1.

The manager was not available for comment, but Reed Johnson was: "We had no answer to Pedro Martinez's pitching for the second time in a row we've faced him. It's ridiculous. No one on the offense is stepping up, including myself. Our pitching has been awful as well. That will be fixed."

Next game vs. Royals.

Psh, northerners.

Fukushima Snakes – 6
Kansas City Royals – 11

Player of the game: Fielder

WP: Chico (1-1)
LP: Wainwright (0-2)
SV:
HR: J. Reyes, [2], J. Peralta [2], Rolen [1]

The scoring began in the top of the second when with runners on the corners Scott Rolen hit a three run home run to straightaway center field. But later in the bottom of the third, Jose Reyes would hit an RBI single with a runner on second to make it 3-1. They pick up another run on an RBI triple from Gary Matthews Jr. The royals will tie the game with runners on second and first, with a Cabrera RBI single. The Royals will then take a two-run lead on a Prince Fielder two-run double. Carlos Lee then hits an RBI single to center to make it 6-3. They then get another RBI double to make it 7-3. Then, in the next half-inning, Dan Uggla would get an RBI double for the Snakes to make it 7-4. Jhonny Peralta would make it 7-6 with a two-run homer after Uggla. Afterwards, Jose Reyes of the Royals would hit a grand slam in the second half of the inning.

And right there I threw my Wiimote and simmed the rest. The final score was 11-6.

Fukushima Snakes:
1. R. Johnson: 1-4, 2B
2. Uggla: 1-4, 2B, RBI
3. J. Peralta: 1-4, HR [2], 2 RBI
4. I. Rodriguez: 1-4, 2 K
5. C. Hart: 0-4
6. Sexson: 2-4
7. Rolen: 1-4, HR [1], 3 RBI
8. Michaels: 1-3
9. Spilborghs; 0-3

And right then I mindlessly went through the rest of the stats *facepalm*

No colors because I typed this in Word yesterday when the forums were down.

Haha, I don't think there's anything more frustrating than giving up a ton of runs. I'd rather lose 1-0 than 11-10.

Not me, although I may be influenced by those ridiculous losses in watch mode. I don't mind either too much if I'm playing the games, and at a reasonable difficulty. That way if I lose 1-0, they pitched good and my hitters probably weren't in good form. Otherwise, I lose 1-0 because my team saw 50 mistake pitches throughout the game and couldn't hit one of them.

The scoring began in the top of the second with a Ryan Braun solo shot to right-center. They will get another run from a Robbie Cedeno double. They plate another run from a Mark Kotsay RBI single. But, the Snakes begin to battle back in the bottom of the sixth with a Jhonny Peralta solo home run to center. But the Sox provide another insurance run in the top of the seventh with a Ryan Howard RBI base hit. And more, from another RBI single, this time from Braun. And more in the next inning from a Punto RBI groundout. The Snakes would then get another one from a Dan Uggla solo shot, who knew it right when he hit it. And then Braun hits a two-run homer and puts the game away, 8-2. No...Sexson gets an RBI single. 8-3 now...can they stage a comeback? Nope. The White Sox win 8-3.

Julio (RP) has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with elbow pains: "It's a minor setback. I'll be back and better than ever soon." He injured it throwing a pitch against the White Sox on 4/14.

I can't help but to cheer for Braun. And C.C. will always be a Brewer to me.

I'm pretty it's Ronnie Cedeno.

Not Robbie.

Oops. My bad. Thanks.

No problem.
