JoeRudi26 Posted July 28, 2007 Author Share Posted July 28, 2007 Congrats on the win JR. The template is money also. Thanks, M. I held on for 5 innings while they slowly tried to get back into it. Pujols wasn't in the lineup, but he did pinch hit to no avail. Surprisingly, they weren't as tough as I had expected. Houston wins, I remain 3 1/2 back 2 Games ahead of Mets for the Wild Card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoCubs720 Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 No sweat though, the Cubbies have the day off, the schedule will still be intact. what day off are you talking about? The Cubs have no day off until August 13th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeRudi26 Posted July 28, 2007 Author Share Posted July 28, 2007 what day off are you talking about? The Cubs have no day off until August 13th. Yeah, I figured that out this morning. I misread the schedule. I will be at Cincinnati tonight to open a 3 game series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mav3rek Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 um,lol, you forgot to change the Cardinals name to the Reds....lol I'll forgive you this time since that was posted at 3:30 am. Nice new box score though. Likin' it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice new box score though. Likin' it. Thanks, Mav. The way things have been going lately, I'm surprised there weren't more errors than that. As far as the game, Lohse kept everything on the ground, I couldn't find a spot where they weren't. Oh well, hopefully I'll be able to get the game in sometime before midnight. :rocklicker: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav3rek Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Lohse is like that in real life. He's either on and is almost unhittable, or can't get a guy out. He's really one extreme or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsox Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 JR, that was a tough loss indeed. But its really nice to see that you have pulled within 3.5 games of the Astros. Nice job as always on the new presentation boards. I really like the effect on the background. Take care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice job as always on the new presentation boards. I really like the effect on the background. Take care. I simmed up until today's game, and Houston has won again, which puts me back to 4 1/2 out. Losing today's game obviously puts me back down to 5 1/2. Furthermore, the Mets have won again too, which places me in a tie for the Wild Card Race. A loss today will set me back one game (WC). It's taken me 2 months to get back into contention, and I've basically got 2 months to get a grip on a playoff spot. In other words, every pitch, every baserunner, every run counts as of right now. As far as the rest of the league, the Dodgers (13 games in 1st) are going to win the NL West (barring a complete breakdown), but every other division in the league is tight: AL West Angels 3 1/2 back of Oakland AL Central Detroit 4 back of Minnesota AL East Both Boston and New York, 1 game and 1 1/2 games respectively, are closing in on first place Toronto. NL East Mets only 2 1/2 games behind Philadelphia The AL Wild Card is tighter than the NL at this point.. LA Seattle Detroit Boston New York ..all within 4 or 5 games of the top spot. With August upon us, let the races begin. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaysFTW Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 man, soriano is on a tear...hopefully you can catch those fitlhy astros. I got a question too. Are you going to take Ensberg off of the Astros and add Wigginton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro23 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 JR breaking out the Lumber Mill. Awesome beat down of the Reds man. That stadium is nothing but a launching pad. :smile: Good to see Soriano on a tear for the week. I just got him back off the DL for me. Player of the Week template is great. Hey, real-life Cubbies are just a 1/2 game behind the Crew. :wtg: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeRudi26 Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 man, soriano is on a tear...hopefully you can catch those fitlhy astros. I got a question too. Are you going to take Ensberg off of the Astros and add Wigginton? No. Although I make all of the real life trades, I don't configure other team's lineups. For example, Morgan Ensberg is hitting .304/21/71, and Wigginton's numbers are .266/11/40 With that said, the CPU optimizes it's own lineups, and as you can see by the numbers, there would be no reason to sit Ensberg down. In my dynasty, there really would have been no reason for Houston to make that trade, but if I'm going to keep rosters as accurate as I can, I simply can't start picking through each trade and see if it is warranted for each respective team. But nonetheless, if Ensberg does happen to go down, I'm sure the CPU would insert Wigginton at the starting 3B position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
