A Series for the Ages


Yankee4Life

Recommended Posts

Okay it may not be the series for the ages but it will be at least a fun one and I will be playing this best-of-seven series during the off season we are now going through.

 

Here are the who, what, when, where and whys.

 

Who: The Forum Fanatics (played by me) vs. The Mvp Modders (played by the CPU.)

 

What: These are the rosters of the teams made for Mvp 2007 and the people who signed up to be in it.

 

When: Dates to be determined by me.

 

Where: In various ball parks that were included in the 2007 mod and on days I have time to play the game.

 

Why: And why not? It was fun then and it still is and I only wish that a more modern version of these two rosters could be in Mvp but that’s ok.

 

Also included is the ENHANCED BOXSCORE from Ty Wiggins’ wonderful utility called the Box Score Extractor. It can be viewed a lot better when you place the .htm file in the box score extractor directory.

 

The FuzZ One game.

Oh man, I'm sorry I missed the cut for this.  Definitely want to be included if we get another round of a Modders team going! :D

 

You missed the cut by seven years. We did this before the 2007 mod came out. We also had one for the 2006 mod.

Here is Totte. He made the UItimate Rosters for years without any drama. We lost a good one when he moved on.

Trues continues to apply pressure on the Fanatics as he steals another base in this series.

Krawhitham did not know it but he did not need to slide into third base when he hit this triple in the

seventh inning because the throw did not come to third base. In the ninth inning he was even more

productive.

Ah, that'd do it! Loving the use of spring training and classic stadiums too!

What I have been doing is clicking through the available stadiums and picking one that stands out. Fenway Park is one that stands out for me because I had no plans of using it. 😄

Game six. Modders 10, Forum Fanatics 0. Played at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C.

Thome25 hits a two-run home run in the third inning off of Big Shmooz.

 

BigOhitsabuntsingleinthe4th.thumb.jpg.5962115e1a1661f63dbff29387f65fc8.jpg

Big O hits a bunt single in the fourth. It would be remembered by the Fanatics because when he did this

the Modders were already ahead by a 8 - 0 score.

 

TyWigginsHBPin7th.thumb.jpg.61b80686ce22679d53c568bc0a13b23f.jpg

MarkB hits Ty Wiggins with a pitch in the seventh inning.

 

AdejectedgroupofFanatics.thumb.jpg.a0566ebf0a15a6e4b78dc7f5ac9b3e98.jpg

The Fanatics played their best but the Modders were a strong team to go up against.

 

 

Modders pitcher Fuzzone was the MVP of this series as he went 2 -0 with a 1.02 earned run average.

 

What's next? The Fanatics will rest up a bit and then will take on the Boston Red Sox in a game that will likely see multiple Boston players getting beaned, bench warnings and ejections. Stay tuned for the laughs that this will surely bring to one and all.
