1969 Season

April- We go 19-7 in April and are 1 game behind the Cubs. Interesting. Klages & Jenkins are pitching great, John has a 4.65 ERA, that should right itself though. Hitting is kind of eh at this point save for McCoveys .313 and 8 homers. Fred Klages and Jerry Nyman both missed the first two weeks of the season with minor injuries. Tim McCarver missed a few weeks with a sprained knee.

May- We end May 39-15 with a 2.5 game lead on the Cubs. Don't think this is gonna turn into race, but still, they're hanging around Manny Mota strained his knee and will miss a month. The pitching has been really good. Yaz is struggling, hitting only .231 but I'm betting he turns it around. Javier is hitting only .276.

June- At the end of June we're 61-20 and have opened a 7.5 game lead on the Cubs. The staff ERA is a ridiculous 2.38. The hitting is fine enough but only Hebner at .321 is over the .300 mark. Mota returns and hurts his back not long after and will miss another 3 weeks. Blyleven 1st to the Cardinals, Winfield 2nd to the A's, Gossage 3rd to the Padres and Parker 4th to the Pirates in the draft.

July- A monster July puts us at 81-25, 14 games up on the Cubs. Tommy Johns 2.55 ERA is the worst on our staff. WORST. Poor Manny Mota. He busts his hip and will miss 6-8 weeks. Dude is getting fragile. Dick Simpson is crushing it to the tune of 25 homers.

August- 101-34, 12.5 up on the Cubs. I want to lock up some of my bench guys with the Vet coming up right around the corner and hopefully an influx of cash. I ink Pinniela to a 7 year deal at $36K per, Carew to 7 years at $21K per. The only guy I can't sign is Rittwage who wants over $200K, bleh.

September- Ugghh, Dick Simpson hurt his knee and will miss about a month. Eff me. Ughh, Danny Lazar busts his ankle mid month and will miss 2-3 weeks. Son of a bitch. McCarver busts his knee and his done for the year, this is getting my goat right now.

We finish the year 122-40 and will play the Braves in the NLCS. The Braves are powered by a heart of the order consisting of Tom Tresh, Harmon Killebrew & Clarence Jones. Nolan Ryan is ungodly at 2.15/29-3/349K's and Jerry Robertson is a very good #2. This should be a hell of a series.

In the American League, the Yankees won the east pretty handily, going 112-50 and besting the Orioles by 14 games, Don Dillard had 50 homers and 168 RBI for the Yankees. The White Sox won a tighter west battle, edging out the Twins by 6 games and the Angels by 7 games.

Yaz hit 34 homers and scored 114 times, both top 10. Javier had 197 hits and scored 112 times, both top 10. Dick Simpson blasted 31 homers and drove in 108, both top 10. McCovey had 28 shots while Javier had 27.

Jenkins at 1.84 led the league in ERA. Rittwage at 2.15, Klages at 2.18 and Lazar at 2.25 were 5th through 7th. Klages 22 wins was good for 4th.
