Other than LAA and Tampa Bay, their schedule looks pretty weak.  Of course, I need all the help I can get.

Excellent job, man. I know you've come a long way to get into the mix of things. I don't want to sound negative on my part, but if I were a betting man I don't have much hope for my A's. But it's been fun. :)

Wow, looks great rick!  Man, those races are pretty tight.  Can't wait to see how it pans out.   ^_^

Holy crap, rick, you're not mad are you? Wish my boys would grow a pair and win a few games.

Good job, rick.  I'd give anything for 3 in a row right now.

Good win, rick.  Feels good to finally get one doesn't it?   B)

Wow, that's more than 2 months ago.  Good luck.

Good luck against the A's, rick. It's crunch time. *Edit - I posted that right before I saw the results. Tough luck, man. Hard to believe you're having such a miserable season. Only a miracle gets you in now.

Really? 3 games under .500 and lead the division? Seems like I've seen this before..

Geesh, are they really that bad in your game too?   ^_^

Good luck against the A's. (yeah, right)

Good luck against the Twins, rick. ....focus...   ^_^

11 games back with 60 to go? Maybe not plausible, but still possible. Anyway, glad to see you back, and I'll be following as usual. BTW, I started a The Show '09 Review Thread, and I understand you've had the game for quite some time now. I'd love to hear your impartial review. :D

rick, I know it's been awhile since you updated, but hopefully you haven't given up on this dynasty.  I went back 5 or 6 pages and didn't see any standings, so at 8 games back in the east I really don't know where you stand, assuming the last posted game was the last that you played. My point is, I've been 7 games under .500 and have fought my way back to a somewhat respectable position in my division, and I just wanted to say maybe there's hope and that you haven't quite given up on this. Anyway, good luck and hope to see you start posting again.

Ouch rick, you're flirting with the abyss.  I think 7 games under .500 has been my worse record so far this season.  If I was in the EAST, my season would probably be over already.

Good luck in game 2, rick.  I'm 4 games under .500 too.  I feel for you though, that actually means something in the A.L. East.

Tough loss, rick.  It's so frustrating to not be able to throw some offense together nearly the entire game.  I know it all too well.

lol, it's a promise. Beer sounds good. ^_^

Careful, it's about a step up from a Rick Roll..

Nice, rick. I was going to ask you if you'd post the lineups earlier, but I didn't want to impose any work on you. Corey Hart? The same one that wrote Sunglasses At Night? Seriously though, that's a pretty potent A.L. lineup. Arod, Vlad, and Ortiz? ugh..

MVP does do some strange things in this department, not that it's a big deal, I don't usually dwell in the All-Star game anyway.  But for some reason, I remember the CPU was drawn to players that had a lot of stolen bases.  I'll be there in a week or so, but I'm sure I'll just sim it anyway. You figured out what you're going to do with the ASG yet?

You've had a good day today, rick.  3-1? 4-1?  I'd take it.   ^_^

I've never taken one into the 8th.  Ever.

2 steps forward, 1 step back.  At least it's not 3 steps back.   B)

Good win rick, looks like you're catching up to the real schedule too.  Do you plan on playing along with the real schedule?  Or just whenever the urge strikes you.
