I seem to have the same problem you had with bush, with Brandon Webb. He keeps throwing a lot of offspeed stuff and hits the corners, and then he drops that sinker in on me and he seems unhittable.

Awesome dynasty you have going here, JR. I'm gonna watch it very closely! I am a Jays fan, but this is such an awesome dynasty that I have to watch it! BTW, it's good to see the Jays on top of the AL East.

What are Halladay and Burnett's numbers? Also, could you check Frank Thomas' numbers?

Thanks, JR, and good luck with this dynasty!

I hear ya, Mav. And to top it ALL of, he throws that 4 seamer outside and suddenly breaks it across the corner.

I was 'THIS' close to breaking out the brew. ;)

Thanks, apridham! I'll definatley check those numbers for you and post them. At least in this dynasty, the Jays have ruled the East from day 1. :)

I'm with you guys. Only thing... I have the brew from the get-go. :smile:

PS: JR, I'm watching the Cubs/Brew Crew on WGN right now. Got a Killian's in my hand as well. :smile:

I just looked at the numbers, apridham, no wonder they're in first place.

Roy Halladay - 7-3 (1.96)

Burnett - (not as good) 4-2 (6.14)

Frank Thomas - .263/11/30

Troy Glaus -.318/13/43

Reed Johnson - .332/9/38

Vernon Wells - .314/10/30

Wow, these guys are stacked. ;)

Thanks for the headsup, M. I just turned it over to WGN, sent the wife for 12 cold ones. wOOt

Bottom 2nd, brew up 1.

If I remember right, we're actually only about 65 miles apart. I won't mention the city, but aren't you in southern Illinois? Southeast?

I thought Lilly was doing pretty good so far this year for the Cubbies? But, then again, as a Jays fan, I know how inconsistent Lilly is. One night he is Cy Young material, the next night he is throwing beach balls.

Yeah, Lilly's been pretty decent this year, but he's just throwing EVERYTHING up and middle tonight.

He was with the A's for a couple of years too, and he's usually pretty solid. Great curveball.

Hopefully he can regain some composure.

Cracked one open, Lilly leaves a beachball in the middle of the plate.

Geesh.

Yep, southern illinois is where I'm at. As for Lilly, why didn't he just go up to homeplate and set the ball on a tee. Same effect... Man o' man.

If Trammel and Co. can't see this, therein the problem lies.

Poor Cubbies.

Get him outa there. Although the outstanding fielding by Ramirez on that groundball didn't help. :smile:

WOW. The Devil Rays just self-destructed. They were up 11-6 going into the bottom of the ninth and lost 12-11. Tim Corcoran walked the final batter with the bases loaded.

Heres how the inning went down.

Hill: Walk

Lind: RBI Double

Phillips: RBI Double

Clark: Walk

Rios: Force Out. Runners at 1st and 3rd.

Wells: 2 RBI Double

Stairs: RBI Double

Thomas:Int. Walk

Passed ball. Runners at 2nd and 3rd

Glaus: Int. Walk

Hill: Walk

So the man that starts the rally also ends it. Nice comeback win.

I have. But, currently I have no copy of MVP 2005. Friend of mine borrowed it a year and a half ago, and now he can't find it. I had removed it from my computer to avoid copyright issues, so I ordered one off E-Bay the other night. $50 later. :|

Also, my Photoshop skills are nowheres near where they ought to be, so it would not look real good. But, you never know. after I get my game going I may consider it.

Gee, I hope MVP runs good on Vista. :)

Here are my computer specs. Let me know what you think.

AMD Turion 64 X2 Mobile TL-52 2.0 (Equal to 4.0)

2048 MB RAM

Nvidia Geforce 6150 Go

160 Gb HD

Vista Home Premium.

Think I will have any issues?

That inning summary I wrote up there was not from a PC game. That was a real life game, in case you guys were wondering. Halladay got off the hook in that one after giving up 7 ER in 3.1 IP. I wonder if he is injured again. That is how he pitched before his appendectomy.

You should be able to run the game smoothly, probably with all the eye candy on too. Remember, the game came out in 2004. You should be fine. :)

The only thing I can't help you with is Vista. I have no idea, but I'm sure there are alot of people (by now) that have no problems with it.

It took me a sec, but I realized it was a real life game. Being from the midwest, I rarely get to see the Jays or the teams from the West for that matter.

Thank G*D for ESPN tho. ;)
