[EagleFan]

Joe Solimine wins player of the week as he was 7 for 11 with 1 home run, 3 RBI's and 5 runs scored last week.

Took a punch to the gut as we had a player bought away from us. A really big punch to the gut. Our MVP candidate CF Joe Solimine has been bought by the Kansas City Royals. We wish him well but have a large void to fill.

[EagleFan]

Scrambling now; he set the table for us and was freaking on fire the past several weeks.

[EagleFan]

I bring Jackie Adams up to take Solimine's place. Going to shuffle the lineup a little.

With one game left, win it and we are in the playoffs.

[EagleFan]

These MLB teams are getting on my nerves. I just signed a player to replace Solimine and his contract was bought out before the ink even dried.

Opening round playoff game as we play at Wichita against the Pilots.

The pitching match-up will be Charles Hudson versus Bob Strampe. Hudson was 7-5 with a 3.02 ERA in the regular season with 109 strikeouts in 95.1 innings. Strampe was 2-1 with a 2.17 ERA in the regular season, he missed most of the early season with a hamstring injury but has looked solid since returning.

Our lineup does not have any history with Strampe. Their starters are 12 for 48 with 1 home run against Hudson.

Clear skies and 79 degrees with wind blowing in from left at 12 mph.
