seanzarelli Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 So after getting MVP 08 installed I wanted to do a dynasty, except, I didn't want to start at the very beginning of the season. So what I did was sim up to July 29th (Since that was the day I installed it) and am playing every game for the rest of the season. I didn't take any control over the team, don't know who is injured in the MLB or who got traded. Just went with what it gave me. I do know that Roger Clemens signed with the Tigers and Barry Bonds with the Yankees though. My team is the real team, but with whatever roster moves the CPU made due to injuries and whatnot. As of right now, Carlos Pena has 38 days left on the DL, and Edwin Jackson has 6. I also started 20.5 games out of 1st place in the East, and about 10 games out in the Wild Card. AL East looks like this: Yankees Red Sox Blue Jays Rays Orioles So as you can tell, I have a lot of work to do if I want to make the playoffs. Right now I am playing on Pro with some custom sliders, which I will be altering some as the first two games I've played have been high scoring.

seanzarelli Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 Game #108 Tampa Bay Rays @ Toronto Blue Jays - 7/29/08 The first game was a real barn burner. Up 5-1 and going into the bottom of the 6th, Rays pitcher Matt Garza was cruising through until he hit a road bump. There was a costly error followed by 2 singles, and then a bases clearing triple by Scott Rolen, followed by a Daric Barton single which tied the game all up. The Blue Jays then took the lead in the 7th after Rod Barajas hit a base knock up the middle, knocking in Alex Rios. The top of the 8th saw Evan Longoria line a ball over the wall for a 2 run homer, only to have David Eckstein blast a solo shot himself to bring it back to a 7-7 tie. Then in the 9th, Blue Jays closer BJ Ryan couldn't keep his composure after allowing a leadoff triple to Jason Bartlett. The Rays would go on to score 3 in the top of the 9th, while Troy Percival threw a scoreless inning to get the team a win, and his 29th save of the season.

seanzarelli Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 It didn't take long for the Tampa Bay Rays to get rolling tonight. Just like the previous contest against the Blue Jays the other night, they had 3 runs after two. Except this time, the Rays and pitcher Andy Sonnanstine never let the Detroit Tigers get close. Sonnanstine threw a gem, as he only allowed one run, while striking out 8 in a 101 pitch complete game effort. With Sonnanstine getting the job done on the mound, Cliff Floyd decided to take matters into his own hands on the offensive side. Falling a triple shy of the cycle, Floyd went 4-5 with 2 homeruns and 4 runs batted in. Every Rays starter, except for Jason Bartlett, had at least one hit as well. B.J. Upton also stole 4 bases on the night including a homerun. Akinori Iwamura also hit a homerun as the Rays went on to pound the Tigers 11-1.
