Yeah! WTG JR!!!

Who will be the game 1 starter?

Thanks, H. They surprisingly went down without a fight, but I know from experience, LA is a completely different story.

Marquis gets the nod for game 1. :)

Great job on the sweep Jay. Just 4 more wins and we will get to see Bartman throwing out the first pitch. Ain't that right? :wink:

I would go with Prior just because he set the tone for the NLDS with that game 1 victory.

BTW, sorry I haven't taken a look at your playoff roster, but JR is Wood available? If so I would like to see him make a start in the NLCS. Take care.

EDIT: Didn't realize that you were going with Marquis in game 1.

Thanks for the input, V. Wood got sent down the last couple weeks of September, and was never called up again. He struggled all year really, losing 6 of his 7 last starts. With that said, Carlos Marmol (1-0, 4.26) and Juan Mateo (2-0, 2.40) was givin some time in the bigs, and they've both been decent, at least alot more steady than Wood had been.

I decided to go with Marquis to try and 'keep something in the bank', so to speak. Zambrano and Prior won 19 and 18 games respectively, but Marquis was no slouch at 16-8, 3.98. If I can get this first game against LA, maybe some of the pressure will be off going into Game 2, and so on. But we'll see. :)

LA was a powerhouse this year, no doubt the best team in the Majors. Honestly, I'm not too optimistic about winning that series, but again I really didn't think I'd make it this far.

One thing is for sure, it's been fun. :)

So I take it that the Phillies got swept and somewhere out there sfgiantsflgators is trying to conjure up some black magic to give the Cubs a little boost (its not like the Cubs need it or anything, just saying)! :smile:

Can't believe the Twins didn't advance to the ALCS. I was rooting for them out of the American League. Looks like I will have to pledge my allegiance to the Mariners now.

I hear you Jay. Forgot about the fact that you are a big A's fan. It would really be something to see you face the A's in the WS (if the both of you get there).

Wow, I can't catch a break anywhere. The Phillies are the Gator defense of MVP Baseball. If the Dodgers get up two games, throw at Kent or Schmidt. Make it hurt.

EDIT...congrats on your one-hitter. pretty impressive.

Thanks, sf. That hit came in the top of the 7th, so it was starting to cross my mind..

On the other hand, the Met's lineup is loaded, so it wasn't a big dissapointment either, I figured it was coming.

As far as making it to the NLCS, I've already played Game 1, and the Dodgers are as tough as they've been all season. :)

I've been working on the TBS Overlays (In Photoshop) and was planning on maybe using them for my presentation in case I make it to the World Series. I realize it's not perfect, but I've been looking at it for so long now, it's possible I missed something.

If I should change something, feel free to let me know.

You too JR? I have been working on those overlays as well, with a few modifications here and there. I really like the way TBS has done it. This box score overlay here is very similar to the one that TBS uses. It may not be as accurate to the TBS as yours.

Not perfect, JR? Are you serious, man? I say you should start modding man. Great work on the new "overlay". :)

Thanks, Kaz. I do plan on doing some modding in the off season, probably will start on overlays and see what I can come up with.

Nice job on the overlay, redsox. And yeah, I've been paying attention to what TBS is doing with their graphics, and I am definately impressed.

Like I said, I'm going to mess around with some overlays in the off season, and see what I can come up with.

I think it looks great - you got a real knack for these things. If I could make one suggestion, it would be to lessen the harshness of the white box where the numbers are...if that makes sense.

Everything else has a nice emboss/bevel/shadow-tpe thing going on, so it jumps out more than it should. Doesn't need to be as fancy as the rest of it, maybe just soften the edges or something like that.

Anyway, just my :twocents: I'd definitely consider downloading your work if you deciding to go into modding this offseason. Unless you lose to the Bums...........

You're right, sf, and I agree. When I looked at the original, I couldn't see anything that was done to the white part, but I did change it at one point and I thought it looked better too.

Anyway, thanks for the input.

I need to work on the trim around the bottom of the white too, but here it is with a small gradiant.

Hey, JR. Do you mind if I take your original idea of the TBS overlay and use it such as this:

Feel free, Kaz. It's not my idea, I was just trying to copy the original from TBS. :)
