Re: Application from Kurt - New Applicant

Well, this is cool…another Reds fan, and a Redszoner… And I might have even snagged a few participation points for recruiting you😁 (or maybe not… I forget how that works).

Welcome aboard Kurt!

I don’t understand.. I sniffed my screen very thoroughly, and these cards didn’t smell like stale bubble gum at all..

Seriously, great job.
I'm afraid what it did smell like...
Failure. When I’m on an OOTP screen it smells like failure.

Re: EVERYONE- NEED YOUR HELP!!

I don't play in any other OOTP leagues (the Brewster has ruined them for me) but I posted on a Cincinnati Reds message board that I visit often. Most Reds fans are in need of some kind of alternate reality baseball fix at this point.

Poblanotes 50.9- Sweet Mediocrity

84-78. It may not sound like much to you, but to those of us in the Chilis organization, it sounds like a choir of angels. I mean, in Vegas an 84-win season would cause some heads to roll; in El Paso they’re prepping the ticker tape. Strangers are buying me drinks, and I don’t even have to worry abo...

Here I had Alan Gray in my system, and didn’t ever think to train him with teabags. I wonder if he has a relative named “Earl Gray”…

Poblanotes 50.8- Alba #2

Two years ago at this time I was hitting .217 for Beirut in the UMEBA. Last year I hit .185 for Sioux City in AA ball. This year I was struggling for playing time in AA as a backup catcher. Until all of a sudden, I’m starting every other day for a major league team that’s got an actual chance at the...

Poblanotes 50.7- Jose Alba Hits the Lottery

I was just farting around, working with a few of the catchers from our international complex, trying to show them how to play catcher without every third pitch rolling back to the screen, when I get a yell from one of the coaches: “Hey Jose… Skip wants to see you in his office”. So when I check in, ...

Poblanotes 50.5- But The Cat Came Back

If you have kids, or ever were a kid, you're probably familiar with the song "The Cat Came Back". In case you're not, it concerns a farmer (I think) trying more and more desperate measures to get rid of his cat. He puts it on a train, shoots it into space on a rocket, etc., only to find it sitting c...
