I tend to hit for a better AVG with lefties against RHPs but i tear apart LHPs with my right handed hitters. I can hit homers all day against even the best LHPer.

It only a month because i have fell well behind the real schedule...I am on the 24th of July.

Dice-K is looking for his first win in 4 outings. His last win coming against the Jays in Boston on the 20th of June.

My aim is damage limitation because at the end of the season, i can't afford a massive drop in budget otherwise i am going to struggle to keep my quality players or have a run at any worthwhile free agents.

A's take down Pauley and Boston Boxscore Game 103 Vs Oakland Athletics

Haha, sorry but it had to be said I can't really talk though because my Red Sox are just as bad. If not worse.

National League - Surprises & Disappointments NL East Biggest Surprise Washington Nationals - 4 games out of the Wild Card, third in the division with no other than the Mets and Braves looking up at them. Yes, the World Champion Braves. Biggest Disappointment Atlanta Braves - Last season won over 100 games and took the Championship from Boston in 5 games. Lost Chipper and other players this season and it never looked good from the first day of Spring Training. NL Central Biggest Surprise Milwaukee Brewers - Have a strong team but no one expected them to have such a commanding lead in the Central over the Cubs. Biggest Disappointment St Louis Cardinals - Even with Albert Pujols, the Cardinals just can't win. How long will the best player in baseball be here. NL West Biggest Surprise Arizona D'Backs - This team on paper looks nearly as bad as the Padres and Nationals but they seem to win on a regular basis. Playoff bound? Biggest Disappointment LA Dodgers - The best team in the weak NL West has a below par record and have no shot at the play offs. 10 1/2 games back of a hot Rockies team. Rebuilding time?

American League - Surprises & Disappointments AL East Biggest Surprise Toronto Blue Jays - Started strong but unlike other seasons have managed to win on a consistent basis throughout the season. Potential Wild Card. Biggest Disappointment Boston Red Sox - Last season's World Series losers. This season fighting the O's for last in the AL East. Struggled to touch .500 all season. AL Central Biggest Surprise Kansas City Royals - Have managed to maintain a .500 record which is good for 3rd in the relatively strong AL Central. Biggest Disappointment Detroit Tigers - Under .500 and have never looked to be a threat in the Wild Card or the division. Time to take a hard look at the roster. AL West Biggest Surprise Oakland A's - Lead the division despite having a mediocre at best record, play off bound? time will tell. Biggest Disappointment LA Angels - Carried a strong team into the beginning of the season but haven't managed to put a string of victories together and seize control of the division.

I have no idea. This is the second straight season that he has been nothing short of terrible for me.

Nah, they are 49-52 and lead the AL West.

I'm not going to need luck against the A's, they not good enough to give me any problems :rofl:

Twins return the favor with a big win and take the series, Red Sox lose ground again. Boxscore Game 102 @ Minnesota Twins

The San Diego Padres traded Heath Bell to the Toronto Blue Jays for LF'er Raul Ibanez.

I could pull myself back in to it because i have the A's and Mariners up next which i should pick up 4-6 victories out of those 6 games I have had The Show since March, i will check out the thread and try to give a helpful review of the game.

Boston break out bats and earn a much needed victory. Papi making a case to stay with Boston for another season. Boxscore Game 101 @ Minnesota Twins
