sfgiantsflgators Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 Pool 3, Round 1 Feller's Two-Hitter Sends Indians To Round 2 The Indians didn't wait for an invitation, opening up the scoring in the first frame on a solo home run by Lou Boudreau. The "blast" went just far enough, hitting the bottom of the foul pole down the right field line. Boudreau made an impact in the field as well. Here he makes a diving catch on a line drive by Felix Torres in the third inning. Joe Gordon would add the second of five Indian runs with a solo shot to right field in the third inning. The Angels were very imperfect on this day, committing three errors - all by the infielders. This error, made by Felix Torres in the fifth inning , allowed Bob Feller to score the third Indians run as Ken Keltner reached first base safely. Scoring B1: Boudreau solo HR B3: Gordon solo HR B5: Keltner reaches safely on an error by Torres, Feller scores B7: Boudreau double scores Doby; Robinson sacrifice fly scores Boudreau W - Feller L - Chance Players of the Game: Lou Boudreau 3-4, 2B, HR, 2 RBI (triple short of the cycle) Bob Feller 9 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 K For Boxscore, click here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfgiantsflgators Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 Pool 3, Round 1 Giants Bullpen Can't Tame Tigers In 5-4 Loss Willie Horton opened the scoring early, plating Ron LeFlore with a single in the first inning. Sam Mertes tied the game 2-2 with a single in the fourth, scoring Dan McGann and Mike Donlin. McGann had reached safely on an error by Tigers shortstop Tom Veryzer, going all the way to third on the wild throw. Donlin was then intentionally walked before stealing second, setting up a second and third situation for the Giants. George Browne gave the Giants a 3-2 lead in the fifth with an inside-the-park home run. Browne hit a line drive into the mammoth right center field gap at the Polo Grounds and never looked up as he tore around the bases, scoring easily without a throw. Aurelio Rodriguez brought the game back to even for the Tigers with a solo home run in the seventh inning. Dan McGann comes home on a sacrifice fly by Sam Mertes in the bottom of the eighth, giving the Giants a 4-3 lead with one inning to play. Giants closer George Ferguson pitched well in the eighth, but his luck would run out in the ninth as the Tigers rallied for two runs and a 5-4 victory. The go-ahead run was driven in by Gary Sutherland (pictured) with a liner right back up the middle, scoring Bruce Kimm. Scoring T1: Horton single scores LeFlore B4: Mertes single scores McGann, Donlin B5: Browne inside-the-park HR T7: Rodriguez solo HR B8: Mertes sacrifice fly scores McGann T9: Kimm single scores Knox; Sutherland single scores Kimm W - Grilli L - Ferguson S - Hiller Game Notes: Giants manager John McGraw was ejected in the fourth inning after arguing a called strike...The Giants stole six bases in the game, two each by Mike Donlin and Sam Mertes.

sfgiantsflgators Posted November 15, 2006 Author Share Posted November 15, 2006 Well... this could be the end of Total Classics Madness. For some reason, it's a crap shoot now deciding whether or not I can finish a game. There were no problems with Pools 1 and 2, and I've never had problems with MVP in general, but starting with the second game of Pool 3 (Indians/Jays), the game has started to randomly crash. No two instances have been the same - innings, players, teams, etc. I'm not an expert, so I don't know where to start looking. Tomorrow, I'll try to reinstall TC6 and see if that fixes it. If not, well, that's my only idea. I'll post the Yankee game sometime as it froze on the last out - so I finished the game, but couldn't get a shot of the final linescore or run the box score extractor. Other than that, the game was official. Wish me luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexTony Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Hmm, Hopefully you can get to the bottom of this. Maybe someone with pc/MVP 'know how' can get in touch also... Best Wishes as this has been one heck of a thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfgiantsflgators Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 I was able to finish the Twins/Braves game, so we'll see if the game decided to un-F itself. I'll post the results of the two games in a bit. This is sweet, but my Marlins lost :'( Besides that everything is awesome. Glad you like it Hopefully whatever was causing the game to screw up has disappeared and we can get back to the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfgiantsflgators Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 Pool 3, Round 1 Yankees Put Up A 10-Spot On Halos, Advance To Round 2 The Yankees hit every value of home run today, beginning with a two run shot by Paul O'Neill in the first inning... ...followed by a three run shot by Scott Brosius in the second. With a 5-1 lead in the third, the Yankees continued to pour it on the Angels when Tino Martinez blast- ed a grand slam into the upper deck in right field. With nothing left to prove, and a 9-1 lead, Bernie Williams added a solo shot in the seventh for good measure. The Yanks would go on to win 10-2. Scoring T1: DeCinces sacrifice fly scores Downing B1: O'Neill two run HR B2: Brosius three run HR B3: Martinez GS B7: Williams solo HR T8: Hendrick single scores Schofield W - Clemens L - Witt Game Notes: Ruppert Jones left the game in the bottom of the fourth after colliding with the wall in an attempt to catch a fly ball by Jorge Posada. The relay would hold Posada at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfgiantsflgators Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 Pool 3, Round 1 Niekro K's 11, But Twins Pull Out 2-1 Victory In a little bit of foreshadowing for the Braves, what looked to be a disastrous start for the Twins turn- ed out to be nothing more than an out in the box score. Leading off the second inning, Rico Carty hit a line drive right back at Minnesota starter Frank Viola that deflected off his chin (left) and popped up in the air. Second baseman Steve Lombardozzi reacted quickly, reaching the errant projectile and secur- ing it for an out. Viola would wave off the trainers and continue to pitch effectively, earning the victory with seven strong innings of work. Gary Gaetti got the Twins on the board in the second inning with a solo shot to left field. Kirby Puckett gave the Twins a little breathing room - that it turns out they would need - with a RBI single in the sixth, scoring Dan Gladden. The lone Atlanta run today came on a solo home run by Felix Millan off Viola in the eighth inning - it was the last batter Viola would face.

sfgiantsflgators Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 Pool 3, Round 1 Reds Rally For Three In Ninth, Win 4-3 On Perez Walkoff Rusty Staub put the Astros out in front early with a solo shot in the first inning. Stellar defense kept the Reds in the game, with two of the best plays coming in the third and fourth innings. First, Johnny Bench (left) went superman, making a spectacular play on a foul bunt by Mike Cuellar in the third. In the fourth inning, Ken Griffey (right) made a sliding catch, robbing Rusty Staub of a hit. Houston took a 3-0 lead in the fifth inning on a single by Sonny Jackson, scoring John Bateman and Bob Aspromonte (pictured). The Reds finally got on the board in the seventh on a solo home run by George Foster, making the score 3-1. Trailing by two in the ninth, Cincinnati started the rally with a solo home run by Johnny Bench (left). Then, after a single by George Foster, Tony Perez (right) sent the Reds into the second round with a blast to left field, winning the game 4-3. Scoring T1: Staub solo HR T5: Jackson single scores Bateman, Aspromonte B7: Foster solo HR B9: Bench solo HR; Perez two run HR W - McEnaney L - Raymond Game Notes: Mike Cuellar didn't allow a hit until the fifth inning when Dave Concepcion singled to left. Cuellar would leave the game later that inning after his first pitch to Pete Rose. No news is available on the extent of the injury. Rose would strike out to finish the at bat and the inning.

sfgiantsflgators Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 Pool 3, Round 1 Athletics Hold Off Orioles 2-1 The Orioles got their one and only run in the first inning when Brooks Robinson singled home Boog Powell. Mule Haas crosses the plate to cap off a two run sixth inning for the Athletics. Haas had driven in the first run of the inning with a double to left center, scoring Sammy Hale. A single by Al Simmons would bring Haas home. Frank Robinson makes a diving catch on a sure extra-base hit by Jimmie Dykes in the sixth. The bases were loaded with two outs at the time and kept the score 2-1. Lefty Grove was effectively wild today, allowing just one run on two hits while striking out six - and walking five - in six innings. Don Buford gets out in front of a knuckleball from Bill Shores for a swinging third strike, leaving the bases loaded to end the game. Scoring B1: B.

Cliff Floyd rounds the bases after hitting a solo home run in the second inning, giving Montreal a 2-1 lead... ...but Floyd wasn't done, adding another home run in the fourth, putting Montreal up 3-1.

sfgiantsflgators Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 Pool 3, Round 1 Yankees Outlast Mets In Offensive Battle 6-5 The first run of the game would be scored by the Mets when Hubie Brooks drove in Darryl Strawberry with a single in the first inning. Down 2-1 in the third, the Yankees tied the game on a solo home run by Tim Raines. (Left) Andy Pettitte struggled today, allowing four runs (two earned) on seven hits before being pulled in the fourth. (Right) Pettitte would get Rafael Santana to ground into a double play, scoring Hubie Brooks, before facing his last batter of the day, opposing pitcher Dwight Gooden. Typical of the day Pettitte was having, he allowed a single to Gooden, scoring Mike Fitzgerald for a 4-2 Mets lead. (Left) In the bottom of the fourth, it looked as though Paul O'Neill would pull the Yankees within one with a solo home run, but for the moment fate continued to look down poorly on the Bombers as the ball bounced off the top of the wall and O'Neill was held to a double. (Right) The next batter, Mariano Duncan would make that point moot, blasting an opposite field no-doubter for a 4-4 tie. (Left) Darryl Strawberry gave the Mets yet another lead with a solo shot in the fifth inning. (Right) But Paul O'Neill would accomplish what he fell short of in the fourth, clearing the right field wall for a game- tying home run. The final lead of the game would be taken by the Yankees in the bottom of the seventh when Tim Raines hit his second home run of the day, putting the favored Yankees up 6-5. Representing the go-ahead run, Jerry Martin (in for an injured George Foster, who left in the first inning) hit a weak pop-up to second baseman Mariano Duncan, ending the game for the Mets. Scoring T1: Brooks single scores Strawberry; Fitzgerald single scores Foster B2: Duncan single scores O'Neill B3: Raines solo HR T4: Santana grounds into 6-4-3 DP, Brooks scores; Gooden single scores Fitzgerald B4: Duncan two run HR T5: Strawberry solo HR B6: O'Neill solo HR B7: Raines solo HR W - Mendoza L - Gooden S - Wetteland Game Notes: George Foster left the game in the first inning after sliding into home for the second Mets run of the game.

sfgiantsflgators Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 Pool 3, Round 1 Athletics Score Three In Third, Gamble Pickoff Proves Costly In 3-2 Philadelphia Victory Ozzie Smith slides into second with a stolen base in the first inning, the first of three stolen bases for the Padres on the day. After advancing to third on a ground out by Bill Almon, Smith would score on a sacrifice fly by Gene Richards for an early 1-0 San Diego lead. Bris Lord singles in the third, scoring Jack Barry to tie the game 1-1. Lord, along with Amos Strunk, would later score on a double by Eddie Collins to put the A's up 3-1. Chief Bender settled down quickly after the Padres early 1-0 lead, retiring the next 11 batters before surrendering a single to Rick Sweet in the top of the fifth. He would leave the game after 5.1 innings, having struck out 11 while allowing just the one run on four hits. Having led off the ninth with a single, bringing Gene Tenace to the plate with no outs as the tying run, Oscar Gamble got caught napping by Lefty Russell as he was picked off first base. It would prove to be a very costly mistake. (Left) After Gamble was picked off, Gene Tenace hit a solo shot to left field, bringing the Padres to within one. (Right) Pinch-hitter Don Reynolds would come to the plate as the Padres last hope, but failed to deliver as a weak grounder to second base sealed San Diego's fate. Scoring T1: Richards sacrifice fly scores Smith B3: Lord single scores Barry; Collins double scores Strunk, Lord T9: Tenace solo HR W - Bender L - Perry S - Atkins Game Notes: Every San Diego starter struck out at least once in today's game. The three pinch-hitters did not.
