The Streets Bleed Red: A 2007 Phillies Season

Looks like League really shut you down except for that game winning hit. 8 Ks in relief is quite impressive.

99 MPH 4 seamer and 99 MPH 2 seamer. I can't seem to hit those once you couple it with the splitter.

Way to go XC. You got the Phillies rolling. I check your dynasty all the time, just don't post alot in here. There are so many good dynasties on the site now, its hard to keep up with them all.

I love those Philly uniforms. Some of my favorites.

Thanks for your kind words. I am just trying to get up to speed so I simmed a whole bunch. No key injuries so I am kinda happy. Let's keep my fingers crossed.

nice job stringing a few wins together like that. lookin' good.

Thanks for your post. I guess I strung together a bunch of wins after simming for a while to reach the current day.

I am going to post standings and stuff tonight when I play the Reds even though it is the Phillies' off-day. I am thinking about dealing Burrell because he is dead weight in my opinion, but I don't know what to try to get for him.

lose the picture flares looks kinda cheap or at least blend them in a little more;)

Thanks for your advice. I have no idea about how to do photoshop or anything so I am just making do with what I do know. Any suggestions or tips would also be helpful. Thanks.

Nice job on those wins. But I just feel that you would have won a lot more games since you only went 17-14 when you simmed. But it kinda adds to the realism though.

Also, one thing I would recommend on your pics is that try and do what JR does when he shows the HR track. That free hand just seem to take away from the professionalism. Also, try and create a another layer on top of your pics and set that to either overlay or soft light or anything that you like. That makes the pics look a bit darker and makes it more crisp. And borders help make the pics look more appealing. Just a basic tip. I am sure if you play around with different options you should be able to come up with something really sweet. Take care.

redsox, thanks for the advice. I will try to figure some stuff out tonight when I play the Reds. As far as the simming goes, I think I was happy with the way it went. I was already running away with the East, so I figured why not bring it a little closer before I go on another run. I am a novice at Photoshop, so it will come in bit. How can I go about overlays or whatever you were talking about?

I'm curious about the overlays part too. I never heard of that method before.

Look for the layer's tab and you will find it. There is an opacity option, fill option beside it. Its actually a drop down box. There are many different options to try from. I usually go with Soft light on one layer and maybe Darken on another layer and dim the opacity a little here and there. And sometimes I finish it off with either lighting effects or lens flare effects. And try adding some borders as well. They just seem to give a different look to some pics.

EDIT - Here is a pic. that I found online that shows you exactly where the option is.
