pierrick Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 What a great pleasure to see that you made it JR !! So glad that we're gonna enjoy your PS (and of course MVP07 ) skills through october... Your thread is really a "must follow" for a baseball fan. Once again congratulations but don't forget that make it to the playoff was just a (big) 1st step.... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeRudi26 Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 Thanks the kind words, pierre, I'm always glad to hear someone is enjoying the dynasty. As you said, this is just the first step in what I'd like to accomplish with this dynasty. I honestly didn't expect to get this far, but now that I'm here, I would love to take it all the way. As I've said before, I play a season a year (since around 1994), and I've only been to the WS only 3 times. And I've lost every one of them. With that said, I'm taking one pitch at a time, one out at a time, and I'm going to be extra patient at the plate. The Mets and the Dodgers have been 2 of the toughest teams I've played all year, so I got lucky to have them paired up for the first round, at least that eliminates one of my problems. But still, I have to get past the Phillies. I'll post the Playoff Brackets soon, and let everyone see how the teams are matched up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xiberger Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Congrats on a great season! Good luck for your quest to lead the Cubbies to another WS victory! btw, why did Sweeney win the Silver Slugger Award in the NL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDudleyDoWright Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 [align=center]METS OVERTAKE PHILLIES IN DRAMATIC FASHION, WIN THE EAST IN ONE GAME PLAYOFF![/align] [align=center]*After going 16-11 through September, and 8-2 in their last 10, the New York Mets tied the division leading Phillies on the last day of the regular season, and convincingly beat them in a one game playoff at Citizen's Bank Park 11-2.* *The Mets will represent the National League East, and will face the Chicago Cubs in the first round of the 2007 Playoffs. Philadelphia will play the Los Angeles Dodgers as the National League's Wild Card team.*[/align] [align=center][/align] I wish this wouldve been real life, and i hope the Mets give you a hard time, like they did earlier in your season! jk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeRudi26 Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share Posted October 2, 2007 Bonds (.311/24/86), Durham (.355/27/103) and Feliz (.276/22/85) all had decent years, but the pitching gave up almost 5 runs a game, 12th in the National League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeRudi26 Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 Since I've had a few days off from the steady schedule of the season, I was finally able to install the '78 Mod and play a few quick games to give it a look. This mod is incredible, these guys have done a fantastic job. The reason I'm posting it here is because I thought of possibly doing a '78 Season next year, and for some people that have followed my dynasty I was wondering if there would be any interest, or if some would rather I continue with the Cubs, starting from where I left off this year. I would take time over the winter and draw up some new templates, something in the taste of the '70's and hopefully capture the essence of the time frame. I would probably play as the Yankees or the Red Sox, not really sure, but it was an incredible season, definately one to remember. If there is any interest at all, just let me know. Here's a pic from the mod, Thurman Munson gunning down Yaz heading to 3rd base. [align=center][/align] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
