Walked off on Texas tonight in the 14th. Wow, what a game. I currently sit tied with the Angels for 1st place. My nerves are shot. What a season so far.

This last couple of months have been absolutely brutal. I've tweaked this game to play an extremely good game of baseball, and I play each and every game manually, and try to play along with the real schedule. Although I'm winning games enough to stay in the race, I haven't been able to shake Texas or L.A.A. since the beginning of August. This is coming down to the wire, and after 5 months of playing and wanting to make the playoffs, I'm getting extremely nervous as I sit down to play these games. Here's where I sit after last night's game: And here is the line score from last night's game. As you can see, I was down 6-0 early and just hung in there. Patience and strategy. I did everything I could to dig into their bullpen for the next two games of the series. Somehow I pulled the first game out.

Can someone please tell me what's going on with Adam Rosales and this revolving door with Oakland and Texas? I'm wearing out my PS3 controller sending him back and forth.

Thanks Carlos, this is actually pretty fun. I'm not sure if Oakland will take the series in 4 games, but my goal is to break BOTH of Gibson's legs so he can't get out of the dugout at all.

A'S TAKE GAME 1, SHUT OUT DODGERS

Yep, you're absolutely right. Strange, because I knew that.

lol, guess I should have changed the 2013 on the World Series logos on the field. Nah.

OAKLAND TAKES THE FIELD FOR GAME 1

he 1988 World Series matched the Oakland Athletics against the Los Angeles Dodgers, with the Dodgers upsetting the heavily favored A's to win the Series in five games. The most memorable moment of the 1988 World Series occurred when injured Dodgers MVP Kirk Gibson, who could barely walk due to injuries suffered during the National League Championship Series, hit a pinch-hit, walk-off home run against Athletics closer Dennis Eckersley in Game 1. Although Gibson's walk-off has become an icon of baseball, Orel Hersheiser was the heart and soul of the team. Hersheiser dominated baseball at the end of the 1988 season, setting the all time scoreless inning streak at 59 innings, recording five straight shutouts, leading the league with 23 wins and 267 innings, and winning the Cy Young and Gold Glove awards. He was the MVP of the NLCS, starting three games, getting the save for Game 4, and shutting out the Mets in Game 7. In the World Series, he shut out the heavily favored A's in Game 2, and pitched a two-run, complete game in the decisive Game 5 victory. ************************************************************************ GAME: The Show '13 1988 Rosters Sliders - Mine Difficulty - Veteran Fielding - Manual (Classic) Batting/Pitching View - Custom Fielding View - Medium Strikezone - Off Hot/Cold Zones - Off Pitching - Classic Hitting - Timing ************************************************************************

Just to add, there was a certain look in Munson's eyes, always was. Not even sure how to describe it -- grit and determination maybe? Either way, it's been very hard to capture.

Thanks, dennis. I've also redone Bill Russell but forgot to post it. Slowly, I'm starting to understand how each component works -- slowly, but I'm getting there.

Now that I'm getting a bit more used to the face creator, I took a step back and recreated some of the faces I made earlier. Not quite where I want to be yet, but I'm getting closer. On the newer faces, I experimented a bit with some filters and a washed out 70's look, trying to get a more authentic feel. Thurman Munson Chris Chambliss

I thought I'd try a little experiment. I used the players I created, them added some hair in PS. What a difference it would make.

Cool stuff, dennis, you're a lefty too? Just curious, how close did you get it to resemble you? I did the same thing with The Show '11 (RTTS), but got bored pretty quick and abandoned it -- For some reason, it's just not my thing. That said though, I created myself too but wasn't really experienced enough with the face creator back then. I may have to try it again at some point. It's pretty bad, really. Anyway, thanks for the good words, hopefully I'll get better as I go along.
