In unrelated news, I am never, ever, ever, ever, ever simming again. (Well, until next Sunday.) Uncle.

[bschr682]

Wow. And Raven Rider was really coming on strong lately too.

[aaronweiner]

Yes, I noticed.

At least it happened at the roster expansion. Now I can call up all my crappy minor leaguers!

The two other amusing things: Frank Thomas won Rookie of the Month despite missing ten games.

AND Tom Madonald, who is NOT injured, won Pitcher of the Month and might have to carry my team for a while.

[bschr682]

Well you do have that Billy Chapel Jr guy to help Madonald...

[aaronweiner]

Yeah. Actually, I had a really, really good sim production-wise, but my team couldn't win more than 6 games and Vegas went on a crazy mad tear.

[indiansfan]

Frick = 4 teams fighting for 2 spots, FLP and WC Gonna go down to the wire.

[njherdfan]

A couple blown saves for Seattle, but we really need to put a great sim together.

[JimBob2232]

Fantastic. More injuries. This has been a rough year for injuries in the big easy

Madison goes 9-2. We've played outstanding since acquiring Hoffman. He and Tiant making for a great duo. But it was Andy Martin who wins pitcher of the month. One more great sim from really looking st setting things up for the post-season.

Go Andy!

[c-mitch]

So since I took over Birmingham for BigMike temporarily, the team is being absolutely decimated with long-term injuries.

2B Michael Gamble - 3 months
SP Nucky Thompson - 10 months
P Pablo Escobar - 11 months
RP Carlos Dominguez - 13 months
P Mike Quinn - 8 weeks

Again....ALL since I took over 3 sims ago. Not doing Mike any favors.

[mrbornac]

Extensions ok - all 3 years or under.

[bigmike13]

Checking in from Croatia. Don't feel bad, injuries happen. Same thing happened about 5 seasons ago when the entire team was on the DL.

[Ca3l]

Holy smokes. our new 3B has been born.
http://baseballretrospective.com/MBBA/O ... 14339.html

Noticed Tim Parsons, listed as a 1B, down in AAA crushing it two years straight. Saw he had a decent enough (not great, but I'll live with it) glove to play 3B, so stuck him in there and gave him a promotion. just a few weeks later and he has a sexy new ratings bump and is playing fairly well. Hope he keeps it up!

[recte44]

Yeah, he looks like a keeper!
