janitor06 Posted December 28, 2006 Author Share Posted December 28, 2006 Cardinals (38-30) at Reds (44-25) It was a bad night for the Reds. Every Cardinal got a hit except the pitchers/their pinch-hitters and Ron Belliard. Eric Milton gave up 5 runs before leaving, and the Cards punished any Reds reliever that came out. In the end, it was 15-2 Cardinals. The Reds' lead in the NL Central has shrunk to 4.5 games now, as they have lost 7 of their last 11 games, since their 10-game winning streak ended at the hands of the Orioles. After the game, the Reds sent reliever Matt Belisle to Louisville. Belisle had been solid when he came up, but has been very shaky as of late, and currently holds the highest ERA on the team. They called up Brandon Claussen, and announced that Claussen will replace Ryan Franklin in the rotation. Franklin will be moved back to the bullpen.

janitor06 Posted December 28, 2006 Author Share Posted December 28, 2006 The first half of the season is over for AA and Single-A. The Chattanooga Lookouts won their division with a 40-30 record, and will participate in the playoffs. The Sarasota Reds finished with a 35-35 record, due for 3rd place. If they can win the division in the second half, they will face the Tampa Yankees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janitor06 Posted December 28, 2006 Author Share Posted December 28, 2006 do you have their new jerseys? Yes, these are as close as I have to the new jerseys, which I think is pretty close. I made them myself, and it was my first attempt at modding, so they aren't all that great. I could not change the font on the new uniforms (the numbers and names, which I believe are contained in the fxxxy.fsh files--I do not know how to create those yet (EA Graphics Editor does not work for me). If you want these Reds uniforms, you can find the package in the downloads section. *Note: That package includes the home, road and alternate home uniforms. I later created an alternate road uniform--they don't have one, I just made it because I wanted to (same story for the alternate Angels road jersey that I put in the downloads section)--that you've seen in some pictures. I have not posted that one yet. If you want it, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
