On the Diamond Vol. 16 2000

Pitcher of the sim:
SP Steve Taub
1-0 with a 0.00 ERA and 8 K's in 9.0 IP. Hard to pitch much better than a complete game.

Batter of the sim:
CF Ryan Sittler
.474 Avg in 38 AB's. Sittler really hasn't been the same since the injury he suffered last season but he had himself a great sim.

7-1 sim. Evened up the season series against Vancouver and against Valencia. Closed to within 4 games of the division lead and still have 4 games to play against Vancouver. Pitching slumped a bit over the sim but Mack and Jac and the rest of Cali's offense just exploded. Jacinto blasted 5 homeruns again so thats 10 homeruns in the last 2 sims. WOW. Mack clubbed 4 homeruns himself and Ryan Sittler chipped in with 3. Great to see the offense doing so well after all the wheeling and dealing this season.

If the pitching bounces back and the offense stays hot, it should be a very interesting playoff run for the boys from Cali.

C'mon, c'mon, use Mack and Jac. I worked hard on that thing.

I have already refered to them as that and will continue to do it. Its very catchy.

edit: fine, fine. i'll change this.
