Here's the pic from the game.

Thanks guys. Actually, I had some fun with this one. Trying to move/create shadows for the players wasn't the easiest thing I've ever done. I pretty much just experimented with this one.

You know, the more I look at the ESPN layout for your post-game report, it just seems that much better than the last time. I think it is the background that makes it so appealing. Great job on that.

Looks like Maholm was walking batters left and right. Nice job on the sweep.

Thanks, M. I usually get raked for 6 or 7 games after stringing a few together, so I'll take the wins anyway I can get 'em.

My next three series are:

Home - Washington (16-13)

Home - Pittsburgh (11-17)

Away - Philadelphia (18-10)

I've got a dinstinct feeling I'll be lucky to grab 4 or 5 of those games.

I stayed patient this time, V. I pulled my (A's) cap down low and waited him out. lol

He wasn't one of the best I've faced, but he tried to paint and have me chase all day.

Not today. :twisted:

You better hope that Ramierez doesn't get hurt. If he goes down, you will have no offense.

The offense is definately weak, but there are are few guys steadily improving. Like I said, if it weren't for the pitching, I'd be staring up at the rest of the division.

Some real life stats:

Cliff Floyd - .250 BA/1 HR/6 RBI

Cesar Izturis - .174 BA/0 HR/2 RBI

Ronny Cedeno - .103 BA/2 HR/4 RBI

Felix Pie - .200 BA/0 HR/1 RBI

Henry Blanco - .182 BA/0 HR/1 RBI

Derrek Lee (19 games) and Alfonso Soriano (14 games) have yet to hit a homerun this season.

Could be another long year for the Cubbies.

Should be a good series JR. Lee and Soriano have got to "wake" up soon for you.

Good luck.

Washington looks pretty decent on paper, if my pitching holds up, it should be a well fought series.

Just curious, M, do you play one game a day? Are you planning on catching up to the real schedule?

Since I have the pages almost setup like I want them now, things are going a little quicker. I'm going to try and catch up. My goal is to complete a series every day. That includes playing the games and posting everything.

I don't plan on changing the template because it seams to work well over at DM. Should have the Houston series finished/posted tonight. Wood picked up a win out of the bullpen for me. That calmed the Wrigley faithful for awhile. :smile:

It is so addicting when you have people reading your stuff and giving feedback. :wink:

Like I said, I'm definately going to be following your page. I haven't decided yet, but I'm thinking about letting the real schedule catch up to my dynasty schedule. (I'm about 2 weeks ahead). It might be interesting to be able to compare the real life numbers to what's going on in my dynasty.

I play all my games manually, so there's no way I could play and post a series at a time, but that's just me.

I've registered on your page, so I'll definatley be giving feedback.

Yeah, I play all my games too. I'm about to take some vacation time, so I will have time to catch up to the RL schedule. It's going to be cool to keep track of how each of our dynasties progress.

Thanks for checking my page and your input man.

Seems like the Astros are on a sweet winning streak. What is it - 4, 5 game winning streak for them? Soriano and Lee are starting to produce and thats nice.

I like how you mention the derek lee's HR landed on Waveland Avenue. Looking good JR. Do you have a recent league standings?

Ironically, Lee, Ramirez, and Nick Johnson ALL cleared the stadium in left.

However, the game winner (Felix Lopez, batting LH) in the top of the 13th just cleared the ivy in shallow left field.

Floyd just missed it. It wasn't his day.
