I like the A's big. Stewart throws a gem. Big Mac hits 2 dongs. Will Clark and that sweet swing of his goes 2-3. Rickey steals 1-2 bags.

EDIT: It sucks you have to be the Giants. You'll probably end up winning then :)

Well you had the part about Stewart right - he was money until he hung a changeup to Mitchell. The only other hit by the Giants was by Williams in the ninth - a single. Fairly right about Clark as well - I miss watching him play.

There were a lot of good defensive plays but I didn't snag pictures.

I wish you were able to quick sim Classics games :-

It's probably a good thing for me that they don't because I would have decided to simulate this. However, I'm glad that I'm playing them all through now - it's pretty fun going through the matchups. :D

Jack Morris was stellar today, allowing just two hits in eight innings while striking out ten.

Here, both pitchers contribute to the effort.

The previous game (Braves/Cards) and the next game (Phils/Giants) were played last night while I was watching the series - as a result, my "picture-taking attention" wasn't up to par and therefore the recaps are lacking. Sorry. :headache:

Also, I forgot to grab the boxscore from the second game - so it will be without the Players of the Game or boxscore link... :violin:

Glad you guys like it - thanks for following!

Great thread

WHo do the '77 Royals play in the 1st round?

I haven't made the bracket for Pool 4 yet (which is the pool they're in) so nothing's official yet - but a quick calculation puts them up against the 1967 Red Sox. :D

This is real good.

I know a guy named John Smiley, so that last game was fun to read about.

But, I'm just wondering, why are all these games extreme pitchers duels? I know these guys are all aces, but someone is goint to eventually get lit up...

So far I've been pleased with the results. Since I'm playing the games, there are going to be groups that follow my ebbs and flows (i.e. the last few games as right now I can't hit for poop). Also, my sliders have always been geared towards pitching duels (guess that's the mind of a pitcher at work). If it gets to the point where it gets out of hand, I'll think about pushing the contact and power sliders up a tad. :D

Should be a good matchup. 180lb Bartolo Colon and the Indians will win!

Heh...Not gonna say the winner in this post (I'm writing up the recap right now so it will be here shortly). Let's just say that the person who mentioned that there was a shortage of offense should like these results... :joystick:
