Same here with Hoosier Basketball. I'm not sure if you know it or not, but your Wild Cats are coming to Bloomington this year instead of Indy. I can honestly say I've never seen them at our home facility.

That place is gonna be rockin', I can't wait. :)

yeah I've noticed that already. I always thought it was weird for them to play each other in Louisville.

Actually I just saw it, apr. The new template looks great, and I like how you did the line score at the bottom.

If you want me to make a few suggestions, I will. First of all, you may want to make the text (under the pics) lighter on the dark blue background, they would be much easier to read.

And on the line score itself, instead of using red for your team boxes, you may want to use the teams colors. I would make the boxes smaller, and add the pitching stats on the right side, it gives a better overview of the game, and it looks like you have plenty of room to do it.

Sometimes the trick to these templates is to keep the base of what you have, and 'add' on instead of starting something completely new.

Other than that, great job, apr. It's always nice to see something fresh. :)

Thanks, JR. I will try to incorporate these changes into my next update. BTW, that pregame template looks awesome.

Hey, JR. Check out my last update. Is that more of what you had in mind?

Yep, much better, apr! The only thing I see now is that you might want to use Drop Shadow or Stroke on your text. If you use stroke, use a dark color like deep blue or black, it will really make that text stand out.

The text that you used Glow on looks better without using Stroke, but wouldn't look bad with the Drop Shadow.

Either way, great job. :wtg:

Hey, JR. The streak is over!

Way to pull out those wins, apr. It's a long season, there's plenty of time.

Is it me, or does that Ryan face look like Matt Murton's? Maybe it's the angle, I could be wrong.

Looking good JR. Just 3 behind Houston and leading the wildcard.

Houston and the Mets set the standard early in the season. The pressure has been on since the beginning/middle of June.

I've only faced the Mets during a 4 game set at Shea, and they completely dominated the Cubbies, outscoring them 29-12, and winning 3 of the 4 games.

I face them for 3 games at Wrigley, and then go to Houston for 3 more, but so far so good. I'm 8-2 in the last 10, and as close as I've been to 1st place since late May/early June.

Man, thats a good 10-game stretch there. All you need is to win each series with those 2 teams to be sitting pretty. A double sweep would be nice too though. :smile:
