KidCavalier23 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 [align=center][/align] [align=center]~*Reversing The Curse*~[/align] As you all know, I have a huge love for the game Baseball Mogul 2008. I have ran a Baseball Mogul dynasty on these forums and it was a pretty big success, running a season and a half. Unfortunatley, I had to quit it due to crashing issues. This time around however, instead of using the New York Yankees, the Chicago Cubs will be under my control. Hopefully, I can help Reverse The Curse and bring a World Series Championship home to the Cubbies in the following years to come! The Curse (from www.dacurse.com) On October 6, 1945 , William "Billy Goat" Sianis, a Greek immigrant who owned a nearby tavern, came to Wrigley Field with two box seat tickets for the fourth game of the 1945 World Series between the Chicago Cubs and the Detroit Tigers. One ticket was for himself and the other was for his pet goat Murphy. A squad of ushers at the stadium failed to keep Billy Goat Sianis and his pet billy goat out of the ball park. Once inside the stadium, Billy Goat Sianis took the goat onto the playing field, causing an uproar from the crowd before ushers intervened to end the stunt. After a heated argument, Billy Goat Sianis and the animal were allowed to occupy the box seat for which he had tickets. Billy Goat Sianis and his goat were ejected from the stadium, however, prior to the end of the game at the command of Cubs' owner Philip Knight Wrigley, reportedly because of the animal's objectionable odor. Sianis was outraged by the ejection, and in response, he placed a curse upon the Chicago Cubs that they would never another pennant of play in a World Series. The Chicago Cubs eventually lost the 1945 World Series when they were soundly beaten in game seven. After the loss, Billy Goat Sianis sent a telegram to Wrigley that read, "Who Smells Now"? With the passage of time and repetitive losing seasons, the Curse of the Billy Goat gradually became an urban legend in Chicago . The late-season collapse of the 1969 Chicago Cubs, and the postseason collapses of the 1984, 1989, and 2003 Chicago Cubs continue to torment fans. Each time the Chicago Cubs fail to reach the World Series, the hex is blamed. No other team in baseball history has gone longer without winning a championship or pennant. Today, the Curse of the Billy Goat has found a permanent place in baseball lore as one of the most famous sports curses of all time, and it is inextricably intertwined with the history of the Chicago Cubs. Settings - Each time I sim, I will be posting a whole series at a time. For example, if I play a three game series against the Cincinnati Reds, I will post all three games. If I play a four game series, all 4 games will be posted up. - I am playing on the highest difficulty out there, on Mogul. Rosters, pitching rotations, and minor league rosters will be posted soon!

It has been a long winter, but thankfully its over now. You know what that means? The Chicago Cubs 2007 season has kicked off! Today, in front of 38,884, the Cubbies beat the 2007 Pittsburgh Pirates. The Chicago offense combined for three doubles, a home run in the win. Is this the beginning of a title run for Chicago? We will soon see as time progresses! SCORING SUMMARY B6: Cliff Floyd singled to left, scoring a run. B7: Aramis Ramirez was hit by a pitch, scoring a run. B7: Alfonso Soriano singled through the right side, scoring two runs.T8: Jason Bay hit a solo home run. T8: Chris Aguila tripled to right center field, scoring a run.

It may not look like it was a high scoring offensive game, but there was plenty of offense. Out of the 16 combined hits between the two teams, three were longballs, and three two baggers. The biggest play of the game however, was a two run single by Humberto Cota down the right field line. SCORING SUMMARY B1: Ryan Theriot hits a solo home run. T3: Jose Bautista hits a solo home run. T4: Humberto Cota hits a two run single down the right field line. B4: Derrek Lee hits a solo home run. B4: Alfonso Soriano hits a single through the left side, scoring a run.

KidCavalier23 Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 Okay, I have a basketball game now. I will be posting more updates later, at around 8:30 P.M. EST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidCavalier23 Posted November 17, 2007 Author Share Posted November 17, 2007 Okay, I have had a lot of work with school. So for now on, instead of series by series, I will be posting week-by-week on the weekends. Hope no one thinks this is dead! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidCavalier23 Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 Okay, so I have found a roster mod that has the all-time greatest players of each franchise. So I thought, instead of continuing this, why not have a fantasy draft dynasty. This means that I can have Derek Jeter compete for his short stop role against Honus Wagner, or a pitching rotation including Walter Johnson, Christy Matthewson, and Nolan Ryan. Similar to Texas Rangers Dynasty going on now. I'm going to allow you to make the options. I really thought that was a good idea, it give you, the followers, more interaction with these dynasties. So, just let me know what you think of the idea by leaving a vote above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
