This will be my worst season ever in FOOL, but...I guess considering that the team was downright awful, I think that it looks better than it could. We're competitive and that's all I can ask for.

I'm sure he'll end up the ace in the long run. He didn't have anything to base being the ace next to Gonzales, though, up until this year.

I feel good that I got to August 13th with a decent lead. That was going to be the telling point for me. From August 13th until the end of the season I play 22 games at home and only 9 games on the road, which has me very optimistic as my team is a pretty good home team

Yeah, that was a good move, although, to be fair, that's as OOTP judges it, which isn't exactly the best way to do it.

Valdosta's magic number is 9. They're pretty much a lock to clinch their first CL title since 1967. Meanwhile, the RL race is gonna go down to the wire it seems in a battle of the last three teams to win the RL pennant. Code:

Former Colorado farmhand Austin? Good for him. See, me taking the time to cut players does help other teams. Garcia's numbers were crazy at the sim stop. He's a solid player, but he's not that good.

I'd like to see Quad City squeak out 70 wins, the team has only done that once in franchise history. Other than that, I can't expect much.

I'd hate to finish in 8th AGAIN. Ugh.
STANDINGS AS OF SEPTEMBER 1, 1970 Valdosta has clinched a tie for the CL pennant. Meanwhile, Compton is pulling away. I'll profile the RL race next up. Then, setup the all-star teams. Code:

Spoke too soon. Ann Arbor coming back to me. Compton still not pulling away, though (but time running out).

I was hoping to see Quad City finish higher. Still a chance. Seems there is a definite top and bottom division split in the RL this year.

Money bet's on Compton. Four game leads with 15 days to go (or so) is hard to beat.

The RL was REALLY competitive this year. I started a lot of kids, on purpose, and while I did go out and get a few players to fill some spots, I didn't go out and get any real pitching other than McBride which blew up in my face. So really, I should've stuck to my gut, saved the money and just ran with youngsters this year, knowing it'd be a rough one regardless. But that's okay. And I do take solace in knowing that the bottom of the league is just as competitive as the top. |

I have the toughest remaining schedule, though. If miracles of miracles, I win it, it will be doing it against tremendous odds. Ann Arbor with the easiest schedule.

Oh, I don't know McBride. Where was he before? If he's a big ticket guy, I can't fault you going that route (although you may be right, you shoulda gone with the kids).

You probably would be better off if I do well against Ann Arbor. With my schedule, being one game further back, and playing you twice, that would really help your cause (which is already strong).

Wow, you're right. He was phenomenally bad in the first half. But you have gotten better, so he probably has, too. Nice to see you here. Now all three of us are here (maybe you were here before, I didn't see ya ).

My guess is DC is writing something up/preparing something, with same game by game rundowns. I can't wait. I want to see how every game of the Ann Arbor and Compton series go.
