redsox Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 The NL central resembles so much of the real NL central. There is not one team that looks like its going to run away with the division title. This definitely makes for a very interesting dynasty. You know there is no fun in being 20 games up on the second place team by the trade deadline. BTW, that lineup card of yours looks really sweet. Seems like you have mastered the lighting option in photoshop. Great job as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that if you can walk into a game knowing you're not going to dominate, it gives you more incintive to win. At the level my game plays, you have to be patient and wait on a pitch. The thing is, you might get ONE to drive. But with that said, I'm pretty happy with the results. This season (so far) has been a blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeRudi26 Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 That really sucks. Losing Theroit for the season. The ESPN background is truly phenomenal. I can't believe the luck I'm having with finding the right guys to put on the field. Granted, it's a long season, but Theriot was flat out kicking a@@ at the plate AND in the field. He was more than likely my guy at 2B. In other words, my infield was pretty well set. This opens up options for Cedeno and Soriano now. Soriano is coming around a bit, so I might keep him in CF and give Cedeno another chance at 2B. If Murton/Barrett continue to do well at the plate, that would narrow my decision making in the outfield. This is why they play 162 games. ps - Lou is NOT happy with the Theriot situation :headache: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like you are set at 3rd and clean-up with Lee and Ramirez. Also, whats the update on DeRosa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like you are set at 3rd and clean-up with Lee and Ramirez. Also, whats the update on DeRosa? I would definately consider Cedeno leading off, but I'd honestly rather keep Soriano there until he starts at least gets his average up to where he can starting driving in runs. As it stands, he's batting around .200 but steadily improving. With his speed (93), and the fact that Theriot was hitting extremely well in the 2nd spot, if Soriano got on, I could easily manufacture at least one run early. *Soriano gets on* *Steals second* *Theriot moves him to third (via base hit or sac)* *Lee or Ramirez pick up the RBI* Soriano potentially has some decent power and RBI ability. There's no doubt about it. But until I see his offensive numbers go up, he's probably going to be leading off for the reasons I've already stated. DeRosa will be back May 4th, and that is another option at 2B. But with what I've seen so far, Cedeno has done the better job thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the comments, rick. I created 90% of everything you see from scratch. In fact, I'm trying not to use actual photographs if I can stay away from it. But there are a few, if you look through the pages. Mostly 'little things' that might correspond with the opponents city, or hometown. Almost everything you see is done through trial and error in Photoshop. I'm sorry, but the only advice I can give you is to dig into it (Photoshop) and experiment from there. Anyway, I'm glad you're enjoying it and good luck with your dynasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Email Address: adampacmanjones05@yahoo.com Honestly Zito, I don't mind sharing at all. But there are alot of people asking and I really just don't want to see all the dynasties starting to look the same. I wouldn't mind at all to give you some pointers, or to help you out with anything you need though. Feel free to ask anytime. Each dynasty has it's own feel, and I've been to yours, and they look great. I like reading all the dynasties, but I also like the variety.

And I think that quote there pretty much sums up the purpose of a dynasty and posting it here. Creating your own template, while time consuming, is much more fullfilling. It gives you the pride and satisfaction of a job well done. And JR26 - Sorry about Theriot, hope you find a viable solution at 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He (in his first 5 games) was going to be an All-Star. At least in THIS dynasty. I don't quit on my dynasties. I'm going to play this one out. Win. Or. Lose.
