Dynasty Update
I have exported the player stats by team into a text file and I'll be adding that information to this thread soon, so you'll be able to see how well some of the Hall of Famers are doing. However, in real life I'm several games ahead of what I'm posting, so I'll need to get to the point where the team stats match the day on the calendar otherwise the information won't match up. |

Note
Anyone following along here, that also enjoys fantasy baseball should sign up for the Strat-O-Matic Interactive Dynsasty. It may sound confusing but in essence it will just be like playing head to head fantasy baseball with players from 1967. Only you'll get newspaper style write ups and defense will matter. |

Home run for Gonzalez, number 3 That was a cut fastball that kept running in Blade finishes his practice swings Now he strides to the batter's box Stepping in and then stepping out again Blade looks to third for a sign Ruffing is sweating profusely on this hot afternoon He's working much more slowly now Now Red delivers There's a fly ball to Earl Averill Averill circles under it... He makes the play AL Pre WWII gets the second out of the inning Tucker leaves the on-deck circle He saunters to the plate on this muggy summer day We'll see how they pitch to Tucker The umpire says let's go Tucker is ready Here comes the 3-1 "cripple pitch" Over the outside corner Tucker hits the curve right to second... Gehringer takes it on the second hop Fires to 1st... Tucker is out by a couple of steps That's three outs, side retired It's time for the 7th inning stretch!

And that's an easy out One up, one down for AL Pre WWII Luke Appling is swinging a bat He'll come up to hit for Red Ruffing Now batting for AL Pre WWII is Appling Charlie Gehringer is on deck, Al Simmons' in the hole They need a bunch of runs and soon!

Very nice play by Gerald Gazelle Two down There are some long faces over in the Pre-Americans' dugout at the moment Now here's Gehringer Charlie is 1 for 3 this summer afternoon He singled in his last plate appearance Gehringer is set in the batter's box He's staring intently out at Knowles He's waiting for the pitch The pitch is on the way A jug-handled curve Gehringer goes out and gets it It's a liner to right Pflaggstettler will have to hurry... Here he comes... No sir... he has to play it on the short hop Single for Charlie Gehringer Pre-Americans' left fielder Simmons is up next Simmons is batting .329 with 16 round trippers in 1900 Al steadies his bat And waits patiently for Knowles' pitch The southpaw Knowles delivers the 1-2 pitch It is a high hard one... Simmons goes on a fishin' trip Strike three swinging! That one sailed up out of the strike zone but Simmons couldn't hold back That does it for AL Pre WWII here in the bottom of the 7th No runs, one hit, no errors and one man left on base They are running out of time Ted Lyons will be coming on to pitch for AL Pre WWII Ted has appeared in 25 games this season He has a record of 11-1 in 127 innings His ERA stands at 3.98 Heavy hitters due up for FOFC Potpie will lead it off He will be followed by Persimmon Pflaggstettler and Gerald Gazelle Potpie is 0 for 2 today He is currently batting .284 Simmons, Averill and Ruth are playing him deep Potpie awaits the pitch And the delivery by Lyons Potpie cuts on a curve that misses in the dirt That ball is trapped nicely by Dickey Potpie was badly fooled by Lyons' big breaking curve STRIKE THREE! Jeeberoni was a little overanxious With one down Gehrig yells something out to Lyons Ted nods his head Pflaggstettler, the right fielder, moves into the batter's box FOFC leads 13 to 6 Lyons steps on the rubber... Looks in for the sign Lyons winds and delivers Sinking fastball... Pflaggstettler goes down after it... And slaps a hard grounder right at Cronin... He scoops it up, over to first... And Pflaggstettler is out by a step That's the second out of the inning Gazelle saunters to the plate Does some stretching... Kicks the imaginary dirt from his spikes Now he steps into the batter's box Gazelle is at .276 on the season Ted Lyons steps off the mound toward second Gives the resin bag a toss Now he toes the rubber... He's ready to go The pitch is on the way Change-up, Gazelle is looking for it... He smacks a deep fly to left-center... Simmons racing back... At the warning track... Waits... Leaps... Off the fence! Simmons chases it down Firing a strong throw back in They'll never get Gazelle The slide... In there! It's a double for Gerald Gazelle Deacon Palmer will get a crack at Lyons next Billy Bullock would be up next... But only if Palmer can reach safely A base hit should score Gazelle Lyons tosses the resin bag aside He steps on the rubber... Now Ted delivers Palmer rips a line drive to left-center Simmons is off at the crack of the bat So too is Averill... It is right in between them The ball is sinking fast... HOLY SMOKES!!! Both Averill and Simmons dive! Man-oh-man!!! There is a collision! Both players are sprawled out on the ground! Cronin is out there seeing if they are all right... Averill goes to one knee... What's this??? He flipped the ball to Cronin! Earl caught the ball! No, the umpire says he trapped it Gazelle continues around to score Cronin gets the ball back in, but Palmer slides safely into second with a two-bagger But man!! What a play A real LALLAPALOOZA!!! Fortunately, it looks like both Averill and Simmons are going to be ok That was one impressive sight! They sure gave it their best shot! At the plate is Bullock Late in the game FOFC up by 8 Bullock is batting seventh in the order today He is hitting a respectable .263 for FOFC Bullock readies himself for the pitch Way ahead in the count Lyons turns the 0-2 pitch loose The Whiff on the "high cheese"! That wraps up the inning for FOFC So After 7 and a half innings FOFC has 14 runs, 15 hits and no errors While AL Pre WWII has 6 runs, 7 hits and no errors FOFC has left 5 stranded AL Pre WWII has failed to bring home 2 Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Earl Averill are the scheduled hitters It's the bottom of the 8th... All Stars lead the Pre-Americans, 14-6 Babe Ruth will step in to face Knowles He is 2 for 3 on the afternoon with 2 home runs! That impressive display of power has been good for 4 RBI's Knowles looks down at Bullock He shakes him off once... Again... Bo has got to be a little concerned with Ruth up there as the AL Pre WWII right fielder has already hit 2 balls out of the park this afternoon Bo winds and delivers... The 0-2 pitch... Long fly to center Tucker has a long run... He's there and hauls it in Ruth is retired on a fairly deep fly With one down, up next is Lou Gehrig To be followed by Earl Averill That'll bring up Lou Gehrig Things haven't gone well for AL Pre WWII They trail FOFC by 8 runs FOFC ahead 14 to 6 Gehrig looks down toward the third base coach He's ready Knowles brings it to the plate Off speed pitch on the way... And Gehrig watches it go by for the third strike Gehrig stood there like a bump on a log 2 strike outs for Gehrig today Two gone for AL Pre WWII Now at the plate will be Averill center fielder for AL Pre WWII today Averill has hit 10 home runs this year Knowles squeezes the resin bag... Peers in The 3-1 delivery by the lefthander Averill hits a screamer at Bo Knowles Knowles picks it up and fires to first The throw pulls Potpie off the bag Potpie swipes with the glove Averill is out!

Running hard... He snares it for the out Excellent range shown on that play! FOFC ahead 14 to 6 with two away Let's check some other scores as well These scores are final... Turn of Century spanked Japanese League 7 to 2 Caribbean cuffed Dead Ball Era 3 to 0 Negro League I squeezed by Negro League II 6 to 4 Left Outs edged out Late 20th 7 to 6 Goslin has hit his 18th homerun for Left Outs NL Pre WWII edged out AL Post WWII 3 to 2 Alexander the winner, he's now 11-6 Feller takes the loss, his record drops to 8-13 Old Timers nipped NL Post WWII 3 to 2 Keefe the winner, he's now 6-11 Bunning takes the loss, his record drops to 3-11 Blade coming up for FOFC Nobody on, two away Barrett steps out of the batter's box to get the sign Blade is 1 for 5 today He flied out last time up Lyons picks up a hot dog wrapper from the infield Now he looks down for the sign The sun comes out from behind the clouds It's been playing peek-a-boo all day The righthander delivers Blade sends a routine ground ball to first Gehrig takes it on one hop Flips it to Lyons Easy out That's three outs, side retired Dickey will come up to lead off the bottom of the 9th AL Pre WWII's fans are looking for some runs from their team Dickey has hit 15 home runs this year Most pitchers love to pitch on days like today Knowles is no exception He is ready to go Knowles brings it to the plate Sinker, down at the knees... Swung on... Dickey hits a Baltimore chop... Past the infield into right for a single! That was a difficult ball to handle Nobody out, Dickey at first Now up is Cronin Knowles likes the sign Knowles checks Dickey on first Now the 2 strike pitch It is a high hard one... Cronin goes on a fishin' trip Strike three swinging! That one sailed up out of the strike zone but Cronin couldn't hold back One out Due up next is Joe Sewell So that brings up Joe Sewell the AL Pre WWII third baseman Joe Sewell is hitting .257 this year against righthanded pitchers Bullock flashes the sign to Knowles Knowles' into the stretch... Looks over at first Quick throw! Dickey dives back in!... SAFE!... Potpie tosses it back to Knowles Now here's the pitch Swung on and missed... Sewell is down on strikes Only one more chance for AL Pre WWII FOFC leads 14 to 6 We are going to have a pinch hitter Earle Combs will bat for Ted Lyons It will be the lefthand hitting, Combs against the righty Knowles Combs is hitting righties for a .462 average Combs up The Pre-Americans have Dickey on first Combs is batting .462 with no HR's this year Knowles steps off the rubber... Adjusts his cap... Now he's ready Knowles will try to get Combs to go fishing as the 0-2 pitch heads towards the plate Combs drives one into center A. J. Tucker sprints over to make the play And that will do it for AL Pre WWII FOFC wins 14 to 6 Hunter gets credit for the win Grove takes the loss The hitting star for FOFC was K. A. Ton He was 3 for 4 with a homerun He also knocked in 3 runs And that wraps things up So long from AL Pre WWII. Last edited by Breeze : 05-09-2013 at 08:26 PM. |

Klein, Waner and Ott and now Hartnett is just settling in behind the plate Rixey rocks and fires It's hit high and deep This one is deep! BACK-BACK-BACK-BACK-BACK, GONE!!! Jeff Nights gets things going with a lead-off homerun off Rixey! That is Jeff Nights' 10th home run of the year. Now here's Tucker We're in the top of the 1st Rixey is on the third-base side of the rubber... Rixey winds his left arm Lets it go Fastball, STRIKE THREE! Tucker was frozen on that fastball by Rixey High and on the outside corner He was looking for an off-speed pitch One down for FOFC Persimmon Pflaggstettler is in the on-deck circle ready to make his way to the plate for FOFC And the batter is Persimmon Pflaggstettler Jeeberoni Potpie is on-deck Pflaggstettler has hit 5 triples this year Persimmon steadies his bat Waits patiently for Rixey's pitch Now the delivery, here is is...

Easy out for Rixey After one-half inning It's FOFC 1, Pre-Nationals coming to bat As we go to the bottom of the first let's set the defensive alignment for FOFC Babson and Hays are the battery mates Potpie will man first base Palmer is at the hot corner Nights and Blade form the keystone combination From left to right it is Gazelle, Tucker and Pflaggstettler Now Frankie Frisch steps in Frisch, a switch-hitter, swinging from the left side against the right-handed Brian Babson Babson wastes no time He has the sign from Hays Babson brings it to the plate Bouncer in the hole and past Jeeberoni Potpie... Base hit into right field! That one had eyes on it Good piece of hitting by Frisch Making his way up is Waner He looks to third first Now he steps in The corners are playing in Waner is hitting .336 against righthanders Waner waits for the pitch His bat is coiled Here's his delivery Base hit to right for Waner Third base coach Casey Stingle thinks he can make it... Here comes Frisch... The throw is cut off... That holds Waner at first Rogers Hornsby will face Babson Righty against righty Hornsby digs in on the right side of the plate facing the righty Babson Hornsby cocks his bat Babson brings it home The Whiff! Swung on the HIGH CHEESE! Walking up to the plate now is Klein Johnny Mize waits on deck Chuck, a lefty batter, will square off against Babson Of his 9 home runs, 7 are against righties Klein waits on Babson The pitch is on the way Fastball... just outside Klein will take first on the walk That will load 'em up for Johnny Mize And it brings up Johnny Mize On deck is Mel Ott Gabby Hartnett in the hole We'll see how they pitch to Mize As we wait for the pitch let's go over the numbers on Babson In 19 previous outings the FOFC righthander has compiled a fine 3.30 ERA He has struck out 115 in 125 innings while walking 29 This has resulted in a 7-8 record Babson fires Lined to second Blade makes a great catch! Score It: 4 That brings up Mel Ott, the right fielder Ott is batting .293 with 26 homers this year Mel seems to be relaxed and ready for the pitch He steadies his bat now He brings it home Belted right back at Blade who snares it backhanded Ott's gone, and so are the Pre-Nationals... No runs, 2 hits, no errors and 3 men left on base... They leave the bases loaded After 1 inning, FOFC leads 1 to 0 As we get ready to start the top of the 2nd Gazelle is talking to Hartnett Rixey steps off the rubber... Adjusts his cap... Now he's ready Here's the southpaw's delivery Fastball, just inside to Gazelle So Gazelle walks A rare walk by Rixey in 1900 He has only given up 34 free passes in 138 innnings Not bad at all! One on, no outs Coming up for FOFC is Palmer Palmer is trying to get comfortable in the box Digging that back foot in All set, Palmer is ready for the pitch Rixey goes into his stretch... Looks over at Gazelle Fires to Mize... Gazelle is back easily... We're ready again Now Rixey comes home Rixey's fastball is ripped toward first Mize can't get to it! It is into the outfield... Gazelle was off and running with the crack of the bat He is on his way to third... They'll have a chance to get him... Here's the throw... SAFE! A nice shot by Palmer and a nice piece of baserunning as well So there are runners on the corners for Harry Hays Hays now at the plate Barrett Blade waits on deck Hitching up his pants... Hays gazes out to the mound Hays, a righthand hitter Waits patiently for the pitch from Rixey The southpaw Rixey delivers the 3-1 pitch He chases the hook... Hays hits a deep fly ball... Klein moving under the ball... He makes the catch... And uncorks the throw... SAFE!... As the ball trickles away from Hartnett He was unable to handle the throw NL Pre WWII gets the first out of the inning Blade leaves the on-deck circle And heads to the batter's box Blade has managed a .327 average against lefthanders this year Barrett steadies his bat And waits patiently for Rixey's pitch Rixey's into the stretch... Looks over at first Quick throw! Palmer dives back in!... SAFE!... Mize tosses it back to Rixey Now here's the pitch Here's the change up... Waiting on it... Blade drives one over Klein's head... Klein backing up quickly... He's got his legs twisted... But he rights himself in time Klein recovers and makes the grab And there's two away Babson is up now for FOFC Palmer will be running if it's hit Rixey is ready quickly The pitch is on the way Babson sits on the change up He lofts a fly ball towards Klein Klein gliding under it... Appears to lose sight of it Has it again...

Don't know what for... Now we appear ready Babson brings it to the plate Hartnett goes after Babson's fastball... He gets under it a little... But it is going way back in left-center Tucker is retreating after it quickly He is right at the fence... It's out of here! Gabby just hit home run number 11 of this 1900 season Traynor settles in at the plate Traynor grips the bat handle Traynor awaits the pitch Babson rocks and fires Hit in the air to left It's on its way... Gerald Gazelle turns and races back to the fence He measures it carefully... Jumps and... It's gone! Just over the fence Back-to-back home runs for NL Pre WWII The score is tied at 2 Eppa Rixey, the pitcher, strides to the plate Babson gets the sign from Hays He is 12th in the league in strike outs He has 115 on the season Babson kicks and fires Ball four is the call Babson can't believe the call And barks at the home plate umpire The ump points out at Babson Rixey takes first base Frisch squares to lay one down The pitch is high and tight Frisch somehow gets the bunt down Hays picks it up Fires to first in time for the out What a bunt by Frisch! Credit him with a sacrifice Babson has the first out in the bottom of the 2nd Hays trots out to the mound Says a few words to Brian... With the runner on second... Probably making sure of the signs At the plate now for NL Pre WWII is Waner One out, man on second Babson wastes no time He has the sign from Hays Here's the righthander's delivery Slider... Swung on and pounded to right-center... It'll be over Tucker's head!... He's chasing after it... Waner rounds second... Here's the peg in to Palmer at third... Waner slides hard... A bad bounce, but Palmer knocks it down... The ball rolls just a few feet... Waner jumps to his feet, but isn't going anywhere He'll get a triple from the scorer on that hit! Rixey scored easily from second The Pre-Nationals' second baseman is up next NL Pre WWII has 1 on board with 1 out Runner on 3rd, 1 man out Babson looks down at Hays for the sign Now he's ready... The pitch to Hornsby... Hit towards the middle Waner heads for home Nights can't get to it BASE HIT! Waner scores from third! Chuck Klein plants his left foot The lefthanded left fielder for NL Pre WWII appears set Klein is at .349 on the season He is hitting .344 against righties Klein is set The righthander Babson delivers Klein swings and sends a high fly to right It is hugging the line... Pflaggstettler is over at the fence... It's going to be close... It's just foul! Klein just missed on that one . . . Klein back in the box And here comes the next pitch Hit deep to center Tucker races back And he makes the grab over his head! He fires it back in Hornsby is racing back They've got him Double play!

Manager Update
I am walking back towards the clubhouse following the press conference, feeling like time is just flying by. It like the last couple of days were a whirlwind and my thoughts on them seem to be running together. As I look back on our last couple of games, I feel fortunate to have gone .500. We really aren’t playing well right now, but we’ve been able to get away with it for the most part. One thing we’ve got to do is keep the ball in the park. Way too many homeruns allowed recently. Hunter and gave up 3 and Babson gave up 4…wow 4…that is surprising given their stuff. I’m not stupid, and I do understand giving up a couple of homeruns to Ruth isn’t exactly a sin, and Hornsby, Mize, and Harnett are no slouches…however, Traynor isn’t exactly a beast with a bat in his hand, and Joe Sewell, REALLY? He struggles to hit them out in batting practice… Hunter didn’t pitch well in his game, but he got a win thanks to the offense. He really should be taking those guys out for a nice steak dinner. They gave him 5 homeruns to work with and scoring 2 runs in the first, 3 in the second, 2 in the third and 3 in the fourth, does allow you to not worry too much about hitting spots and being perfect with your pitches. Babson pitched poorly too, but honestly what hurt him the most, besides the homeruns was a combination of 2 things. One Hornsby got hot, 3 for 5, a homeru and 3 RBI, but making matters worse was Big Poison seemed to always be on base in front of him, going 3 for 3. I know Babson didn't give all that up, but the combination was still a big problem for us. I really hope Babson gets out of his funk soon, we’re going to need him down the stretch. The NL Post team is really tearing it up right now. I think they have 3 guys who already are around 30 homeruns…and we basically still have a full third of the season to go…the could end up with 3 or 4 guys with 40 homeruns…oh, and their pitching has gotten much better. I hope our fans are strapped in, because this could be a wild ride down the stretch. Last edited by Breeze : 05-10-2013 at 08:48 AM. |

It hits Gunner on the elbow Gunner throws the bat away and sprints to first base That forces in a run Now at the plate will be Nights shortstop for FOFC today Nights has 23 doubles this year Nights awaits the delivery A check on the runners... the pitch Nights drives the ball to center for extra bases Palmer and Potpie will score Dick Howser is windmilling the runner home... The throw is cut off...

NO, IT'S A FOUL BALL!!! . . . Waner back in the box And here comes the next pitch Mighty's fastball is ripped toward first Potpie can't get to it! It is into the outfield... Terry was off and running with the crack of the bat He is on his way to third... They'll have a chance to get him... Here's the throw... SAFE! A nice shot by Waner and a nice piece of baserunning as well So there are runners on the corners for Frankie Frisch The shortstop, Frankie Frisch, is up next Frankie steps out of the batter's box to get the sign Frisch is 0 for 2 today He grounded out last time up Frisch is ready The southpaw Mighty delivers the 1-2 pitch Inside on the fists...

Mighty waves it off... Now he's happy Mighty's into the stretch... Looks over at first Quick throw! Waner dives back in!... SAFE!... Potpie tosses it back to Mighty Now here's the pitch Changeup, Traynor was looking for it... He smacks a deep fly to left-center... Pflaggstettler is at the warning track... Waits... Off the fence! Traynor's headed for third... Triple for Pie Traynor! Neither Pflaggstettler nor Tucker could get to that one Waner scores from first Hornsby is ready to face Mighty A single would score another run... NL Pre WWII has 2 already this inning Hornsby is waiting on the pitch It's a full count... Mighty winds and fires... Hornsby works the walk... Passes the baton to Mel Ott who will see if he can get Traynor in from third A big bopper coming to the plate... Batting clean-up, Mel Ott FOFC has the outfield shaded towards right Ott is 1 for 2 today Mel stands with bat ready Here's the southpaw's delivery A hard drive down the line Gunner has got a long run He can't get to it Ott running hard out of the box Gunner has the ball Ott digging for 2nd He's slides in, Safe! Traynor scores from third! Hornsby takes third Cuyler departs the on-deck circle He makes his way quickly to the plate Cuyler steps out of the batter's box to get the sign Kiki is 1 for 2 today Cuyler is set in the batter's box He's staring intently out at Mighty He's waiting for the pitch The southpaw's 2-1 delivery Base hit to center for Cuyler Hornsby scores Casey Stingle is giving the green light... The throw is cut off... And that allows the run to score Medwick up The Pre-Nationals have Cuyler on first Against righthanders Medwick is hitting .188 Medwick is poised and ready for the pitch Fozborg goes into his stretch Looks over at the fidgety Cuyler He lobs one to Potpie... Cuyler is back easily We're ready again Now Fozborg comes home Fozborg just misses outside Ball four to Medwick Gabby Hartnett steps into the box Hartnett steps out of the batter's box to get the sign Gabby is 1 for 2 today Fozborg squeezes the resin bag... Peers in A check on the runners... the pitch The pitch is low It bounces away from Bullock! He's got it But there's no throw. It's scored a wild pitch. Gabby Hartnett steps into the box Hartnett can't seem to get settled at the plate Fozborg is ready quickly The stretch... the pitch Fozborg pitches in tight It gets by Bullock Rolling to the screen The runners will advance without a throw They give Sirr a wild pitch... Looked like Bullock could have stopped that one Gabby Hartnett steps into the box Hartnett is looking for another hit He has 1 hit so far today He is hitting .284 on the year Sirr gets the sign from Bullock It's coming down the pike Topped in front of home Taken by Bullock Over to first In time! Score It: 2-3 Two down, one more to go, here in the bottom of the 5th 7 runs have crossed the plate so far And the inning isn't over, yet!

FOFC will send Palmer, Billy Bullock, and Stan Gunner to face Dazzy Vance this inning Palmer has hit 4 home runs this year Vance shakes off the sign from Hartnett And another... Still another... Looks like Vance doesn't want to pitch to Palmer Maybe hoping he'll get tired of waiting Now he's finally ready Vance rocks and fires Palmer rips one on the ground It's a 'daisy cutter' to Frisch Frankie fields it cleanly Over to first quickly... Easy out One gone for FOFC Billy Bullock, the catcher, strides to the plate Bullock is 1 for 4 today Vance likes the sign Vance kicks and delivers Bullock swings hard... But he was fooled on the pitch It hits him on the fists It's dribbling towards second Hornsby charges in on it... Bare hands it... Sidearms it to first... Just in time to get Bullock Nice play by Rogers Hornsby Bullock only needed a bit more speed Two down Dazzy Vance retires the first two batters in a row Stan Gunner will make his way to home plate He's the right fielder for FOFC Gunner goes through his routine of settling in Vance looks down at Hartnett for the sign Now he's ready...

Slams a sharp grounder to the right side Blade grabs it... Throws to first... OUT! One away in the bottom of the 9th for NL Pre WWII Frankie Frisch coming up Frisch asks the ump for time Now he's back in Frisch is ready for the pitch He takes his windup Fastball OUCH! It hit Frisch! Jackson will be the pinch runner The headsy and classy third baseman, Pie Traynor, is coming up to bat Traynor has a .287 average against righthanders this season Kronside adjusts his cap... Now he's set Kronside brings it to the plate A sharp breaking curve... Traynor was waiting for it He hits it squarely... and well Pflaggstettler turns to chase it down... This one is going, going... GONE! Pie Traynor can touch them all Rogers Hornsby will face Kronside Righty against righty Hornsby grips the bat handle Bullock flashes the sign to Kronside Jace comes home quickly with the 0-2 offering Right down the middle... strike three Hornsby must have been looking for something else He just froze on that pitch Two down... The Pre-Nationals are chipping away at the FOFC lead They've scored 2 runs in the inning FOFC leads 11 to 10 A big bopper coming to the plate... Batting clean-up, Mel Ott Ott looks down toward the third base coach, Casey Stingle Kronside shakes off two signs Now he's ready Righthander Kronside's delivery Ott rips it hard... This one looks like it will be in there for extra bases! Mel is around first... Digging for second... He will slide... AND HE IS SAFE! So Mel Ott is in there for his 3rd double on the afternoon! That'll bring up Pre-Nationals' center fielder Kiki Cuyler... Pre-Nationals with a runner in scoring position at second With 2 RBI's in the game Cuyler has 26 on the season Cuyler cocks his bat Kronside will try to get Cuyler to go fishing as the 0-2 pitch heads towards the plate Right down the middle... strike three Cuyler must have been looking for something else He just froze on that pitch And that will do it for NL Pre WWII FOFC wins 11 to 10 Kronside notches the save Alexander takes the loss The hitting star for FOFC was Jeeberoni Potpie He was 3 for 5 with a homerun He also knocked in 4 runs And that wraps things up So long from NL Pre WWII. |

Manager Update
As I sit in my hotel room, I am steaming right now. I’m extremely frustrated with Mighty. For some reason, since the All-Star break he’s be horrible. This is his third straight poor outing, and in 2 of the 3, he was staked to a big lead, only to completely blow up and give the whole thing right back. I did the whole protecting my guys thing in the press conference. In fact, I can still hear the words ringing in my ears… O’Carver, “Mighty is really struggling right now, any idea what is going on?” “Tom, struggling might be a bit strong. Mighty pitched really well until the fifth, when things got away from him. He was cruising up until that point. He just has to figure out how to get through those tough innings without allowing things to get away from him.” When what I really wanted to say was… “I have no freaking idea why he’s spit the bit recently. It’s like the guy can’t focus if the game isn’t on the line. We give him a big lead and with his stuff he should be able to bring it home without any problems, but instead he turns into a batting practice pitcher.” Of course I’d get a follow up question like, “What are you going to do?” And I’d like to respond, “Ringing his neck would be nice…I’m not sure it’d help him pitch better, but it would make me feel better.” I know I might be a bit hard. I mean Alexander is a phenomenal pitcher, and we lit him up. But this has happened one time to many recently. I might have to seriously consider putting Foz into the rotation and dropping Mighty out of it. These toughts keep racing through my head, and I can't sleep. Thank goodness we won, otherwise I'm not sure I'd have slept for a week. I get up, go to the mini-bar to see what they have... |

As I sip on my Vodka Martini, and roll around the events of the game in my head, I realize we gave up ANOTHER HOME RUN TO TRAYNOR. ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME. THE GUY GOT 3 HOMERS ON US IN 4 GAMES. UGH...he had 9 coming into the series. We game him 33% of his total coming into the series in 4 games. We made him look like Mantle or Ruth for crying out loud... Is there any Vodka left...I need another drink |

A warm hello to you, Ladies and Gentleman Tonight FOFC will be doing battle with AL Post WWII Let's see how the Post-Americans shape up, defensively... From left to right in the outfield Williams is in left... Mantle is in center... And Kaline is in right Around the infield, third to first it's Brett playing third Yount at short Covering second is Carew At first base Killebrew And the battery... Pitching, Nolan Ryan with Berra behind the plate Okay, let's get it underway... Ryan brings it to the plate Fastball, just inside... Looked very close... Ryan's obviously peeved at that call But Barrett tends to get those calls He has a great eye and doesn't mind taking the free ride to first Blade takes his lead from first... He's challenging Ryan's pickoff move Blade is running on the pitch A slider away... Berra pumps... but no throw, he holds onto the ball He is SAFE! A. J. Tucker steps into the box Stepping in and then stepping out again Tucker looks to third for a sign Tucker is set in the batter's box He's staring intently out at Ryan He's waiting for the pitch He brings it home It's a rocket over second Carew leaps He's got it! Quickly over to second Blade dives back just in time! Ryan gets the first out in the inning One away, one on As Pflaggstettler walks from the on deck circle We're in the top of the 1st Berra flashes the sign to Ryan The pitch on the way, here it is... Groundball to short Blade is trying to advance to third base... A quick glance at the lead runner... The play is to first... And Pflaggstettler is out Jeeberoni Potpie is up to face Nolan Ryan He told me in the pregame show That he was seeing the ball very good in practice Potpie has 14 doubles this year Ryan looks down at Berra for the sign... Shakes him off once... twice Now he has the pitch he wants Ryan brings it home Potpie swings and lifts one toward center Mantle drifts over slowly... He is under it now... And makes the easy catch... After one-half inning It's FOFC nothing, the Post-Americans coming up Here we go in the home half of the first inning... Let's take a moment to set up the defense... In left Gazelle Over in center Tucker Pflaggstettler will start in right... Around the infield Palmer will start at third The keystone combination will be Nights and Blade... Potpie will play first base... The battery of Babson pitching and Hays behind home plate Lead off man for the Post-Americans Rod Carew steps into the batter's box Carew is batting .333 with 3 homeruns He has 7 doubles, 5 triples and 17 RBI's His OBP of .390 is why FOFC doesn't like to see him leading off an inning or at bat at any time for that matter!! Babson steps off the mound toward second Gives the resin bag a good squeeze... Now he toes the rubber... He's ready to go Babson brings it to the plate A jug-handled curve Carew goes out and gets it It's a liner to right Pflaggstettler will have to hurry... Here he comes... No sir... he has to play it on the short hop Single for Rod Carew George Brett, the third baseman, strides to the plate George checks with the third base coach Takes a few practice swings Now he steps into the box Brett is waiting His bat is wiggling slightly Carew is dancing off first Babson's into the stretch... Looks over at first Quick throw! Carew dives back in!... SAFE!... Potpie tosses it back to Babson Now here's the pitch Brett goes after Babson's fastball... He gets under it a little... But it is going way back in left-center Tucker is retreating after it quickly He is right at the fence... He goes up after it... And brings it down in the webbing! George just missed a homer on that one Only a long out for the AL Post WWII third baseman One gone for AL Post WWII Mickey Mantle steps up to the plate Mantle asks the ump for time Now he's back in Mantle is ready for the pitch Here comes the pitch Bouncer to second Blade grabs it Throws to second He's out Over to first Double Play! Score It: 4-6-3 That's three outs, side retired FOFC will send Palmer, Harry Hays, and Gerald Gazelle to face Nolan Ryan this inning Palmer wiggles the bat above his head The count one ball, one strike on Palmer Now Nolan delivers Shallow fly ball Mantle charging HE DIVES... HE'S GOT IT! And there's one away Now here's Hays Hays is batting .340 with 10 round trippers in 1900 Hays gets set for the pitch Ryan's into his windup... the pitch Ball four is the call Ryan can't believe the call And barks at the home plate umpire The ump points out at Ryan Hays takes first base The left fielder, Gerald Gazelle will be up next for FOFC Gazelle has hit 15 home runs this year Ryan is ready quickly Now Nolan delivers Gazelle swings and misses Strike three Gazelle didn't have a good cut at that pitch That's out number two Joe Torre moving around Hollers something down at Ryan Nolan nods "UH HUH" The shortstop, Jeff Nights, is up next Nights is batting .284 with 10 HR's this year Ryan has the sign from Berra Carew comes in a couple steps Yells something to Ryan The delivery Hit on the ground to third Taken by Brett Over to Killebrew Got him!

Easy out That's two up, two down Kaline is up now for AL Post WWII Kaline has a .272 average against righthanders this season Kaline is set Babson rocks and fires Kaline gives it a ride Gazelle is streaking toward the fence He's at the warning track... He may have a chance... Reaches up... Got it!!! What a play by the FOFC left fielder! Kaline can't believe it as he kicks at the air after rounding first Al hit it hard, but somehow Gerald was able to run it down He's an outstanding outfielder! 1-2-3, nothing across... Babson will be up, but wait... The umpiring crew is meeting near the plate As this rain we've had all game has intensified Let's check the All Stars record in recent days FOFC is 5 and 5 in their last ten games The umps are returning to their positions Looks like we'll continue... As Babson steps back in Home plate is covered with dirt The ump cleans it off Babson waits Ryan fires There's a hard bouncer to Brett's left He's over... Makes the pick-up... Over to Killebrew... Babson is out! A sparkling glove hand pick-up by George Brett! That's one away Nobody on, one away for FOFC Up now is Blade Barrett is hitting .260 this year Trying to get comfortable in the box Not an easy task against the likes of Ryan Ballplayers tend not to get too much of a toehold against pitchers like Ryan Their wildness keeps batters honest He's ready The righthander delivers It's a Texas Leaguer to right Here comes Kaline... He is really motoring... He reaches down... But catches it on one hop! Blade is on with a bloop single to right Blade watches Ryan move... He's moving away from the bag Ryan looks Blade back He is unable to get his normal lead Tucker digs in at the plate Ready now for Ryan to come set We're in the top of the 3rd Ryan likes the sign Now to the belt, here it is... It's popped in the air It'll be the first baseman, Killebrew, making the play It's been lousy weather all day but... The rain has started to come down hard now The conditions now are better for a water polo match than baseball He's off to the races! The peg down... The speedy Blade slides in safely! 7 steals in 7 attempts on the year He is one of the best on the basepaths Apparently Ryan has been instructed to put Mister Persimmon Pflaggstettler on... He has done just that... Pflaggstettler trots down to first Jeeberoni Potpie will now get a crack at Ryan Joe Torre did not want Nolan to pitch to the FOFC right fielder Pflaggstettler is having a fine year He's 11th in the league in batting, at a .312 clip He's got 15 home runs, 56 RBI... Jeeberoni Potpie will get a crack at Ryan next Deacon Palmer would be up next... But only if Potpie can reach safely Potpie is batting .282 with 23 homers this year Potpie, a righthand hitter Waits patiently for the pitch from Ryan The pitch is on the way The HIGH CHEESE......... STRIKE THREE SWINGING! That retires the side... Potpie fails to come through in the clutch For FOFC, No runs, one hit, no errors and 2 men left on base The catcher Berra will start things off for the Post-Americans Berra is at .275 on the season He is hitting .266 against righties Berra waits patiently Here's the righthander's delivery Sinker, at the knees... Swung on... Berra hits it into the hole on the right side Blade ranging to his left... Scoops it up... Throws on the run... And Berra is out by a step at first One down for AL Post WWII Robin Yount is in the on-deck circle ready to make his way to the plate for AL Post WWII Coming up for AL Post WWII is Robin Yount Nobody on base, one out Yount is hitting .333 against righties Yount awaits the pitch Babson brings it to the plate Yount tries to hold up Hays points down at the first base umpire The ump says he went around STRIKE THREE! Two down Here's Nolan Ryan Ryan swinging from the right side facing the righty Babson Hays flashes the sign... Babson shakes it off, he wants another... Now he's happy Babson's 1-0 pitch... Swung on and popped up Nights is waiting... And that's an easy out That's all for the Post-Americans No runs, no hits and no errors... We've played three, here... We're scoreless It's the All Stars' turn at bat here in the top of the 4th Deacon Palmer, Harry Hays, and Gerald Gazelle are due up to face righthander Nolan Ryan Palmer is 0 for 1 today Ryan eyes Palmer intently The righthander Ryan delivers Good slider, inside part of the plate Palmer gets the bat on it... Slams a sharp grounder to the right side Carew grabs it... Throws to first... OUT! AL Post WWII gets the first out of the inning Hays is ready to face Ryan Right-hander Ryan eyes the righty Hays Nolan rocks and fires Fly ball to center Mantle is under it He makes the grab That's the second out of the inning Time to check the scoreboard Late 20th slipping by Caribbean 2 to 0 Negro League II is edging Japanese League 2 to 1 NL Post WWII is edging AL Pre WWII 1 to 0 Left Outs and Dead Ball Era are scoreless NL Pre WWII leads Old Timers 1 to 0 Negro League I and Turn of Century are tied at 2 Up now for FOFC is Gazelle Two away, nobody on The righty shakes off the sign... Now Nolan shakes off another one... Nolan has a 95 MPH fastball but has control problems The Texan comes in with the fastball Curve ball... Gazelle swings and misses by a mile The bottom dropped out of that one! A wicked pitch! And that retires the side The Post-Americans will send Carew, George Brett, and Mickey Mantle up to the plate this inning Rod is hitting at .335 on the year He has 106 hits in 316 at bats Today, he is 1 for 1 Carew singled his last time up Right-hander Babson prepares for the pitch to the left-handed swinging Carew It's coming down the pike Slow ground ball Blade is charging it He fires it to first He's OUT AL Post WWII with one away Babson steps off the mound as he waits for George Brett to come to the plate George Brett will make his way to home plate He's the third baseman for AL Post WWII Brett is 0 for 1 today George flied out last time up Set now is Brett Babson brings it to the plate George Brett swings He hits a long drive This one may be out of here... Back, back, back... It's CAUGHT! Pflaggstettler robs the Post-Americans with a great catch at the fence Two down Babson retires the first two AL Post WWII batters Walking slowly up for AL Post WWII is Mantle The outfield is playing him deep And shaded to the right They are showing respect for his power Mantle has hit 28 home runs this year Babson studies his sign Babson brings it to the plate Fastball, just inside... Looked very close... Babson's obviously peeved at that call But Mickey tends to get those calls He has a great eye and doesn't mind taking the free ride to first Mantle extends his lead towards second Throw to first... SAFE!... Another throw... easily back Now Mantle extends his lead... Fastball up and in... He's off on the pitch The peg down... Mantle slides head first to the outside... Avoids the tag... He's safe... WAIT, he overslid the bag... And he's back in safely avoiding the tag again! That will be stolen base number 3 for the 1900 season They're not going to pitch to Williams They'll give him an intentional pass Oh! Babson nearly threw ball four to the backstop Mantle bluffed a move toward third "Killer" is now coming to the plate Two men on, two men out Right-hander Babson prepares for the pitch to the right-handed swinging Killebrew Brian checks the runners Steps off the mound Again he's into the stretch The pitch A sinking fastball... Swung right through it... STRIKE THREE So that's it for AL Post WWII They fail to score against Babson In the bottom of the 4th for AL Post WWII No runs, no hits, no errors and 2 men left on base Jeff Nights will start things off So far this season Nights is hitting .280 when facing righthanded pitching The umpire says let's go We've got a full count... Ryan winds and fires... In the dirt And Nights holds up He draws the walk Nice way to start out the inning Babson shows bunt It's a beauty! Right down the 3rd base line... Brett charges... he fires to first He gets the batter, but the runner Nights goes to 2nd... A sacrifice for Babson One away... Killebrew is coming over to the mound... He wants to chat with the pitcher... Here comes Brett also... Now they return to their positions One on, one out Coming up next is Blade Barrett is hitting at .263 on the year He has 62 hits in 236 at bats FOFC's leadoff hitter has scored 33 runs this year Nolan is ready Here's the 2-2 pitch Big motion...

Ryan pulled the string on him Two down Berra asks for a new ball He calls time and trots out to the mound A conference going on between Berra and Ryan Tucker heads to the plate for FOFC The infield is at regular depth Tucker has hit 4 home runs this year Nolan looks for the sign he wants... Shakes off the first one But he likes the next Yount trying to slip in behind Nights Now he slips away Here's the 3-1 offering It's a slow ground ball to the left of short Yount makes the easy pick up Over to first... Tucker is safe! The throw pulled Killebrew off the bag Yount may have had too much time on that one AL Post WWII has 1 error in the game so far Two on, two outs... Pflaggstettler steps to the plate The wind seems to be swirling around on the field Persimmon Pflaggstettler is hitting .321 this year against righthanded pitchers He's ready for the delivery Now the delivery, here is is...

The righthander Babson's delivery Lined to second Blade tries it He snares it for the out! Score It: 4 Two up, two down for AL Post WWII Babson is moving along with the efficiency of a well oiled machine Robin Yount is coming to the plate The wet weather seems to be bothering Brian He keeps going for the resin bag Now he toes the rubber Brian winds and delivers... The 0-2 pitch... Another hook for strike three! Yount just stood there looking The side is retired No runs, no hits and no errors Time for a break, just in time, by the way as I've just been handed a ballpark hotdog As Humphrey Bogart once said A hotdog at the ballpark is better than steak at the Ritz Potpie is walking to the plate Now he steps into the batter's box Before getting ready Potpie checks out the defensive alignment Ryan looks down at Berra for the sign Shakes him off once... twice... Now he has the pitch he wants Ryan kicks and delivers Change-up, Potpie is looking for it... He smacks a deep fly to left-center... Mantle is racing back... HE STUMBLES on the warning track!!!... He can't make the catch... The ball rolls to the fence... Potpie coasts into second... As the throw is way too late Potpie will get a double from the official scorer One on, nobody out Palmer strides up to the plate Palmer steps out of the batter's box to get the sign Deacon is 0 for 2 today Nolan Ryan has struck out 4 and walked 4 He's rubbing up the ball as he looks over at Joe Torre Way ahead in the count Ryan turns the 0-2 pitch loose Palmer swings and misses, strike three! Deacon chased a curve ball in the dirt One down for FOFC Harry Hays is still in the on-deck circle and Gerald Gazelle is looking for a bat in the dugout And the batter is Harry Hays Gerald Gazelle is on-deck Hays has hit 10 home runs this year Ryan steps on the rubber...

WAIT The umpire says that one caught the knees Hays' outta there No score with two away this inning Berra heads out to the mound . . . They want to talk strategy.

Bo was telling me before the game That he enjoyed watching Mantle hit Mickey, of course, is having a great year Facing him from out there on the mound will put a little damper on that, however Knowles rocks and fires Mantle pounds a grounder toward Blade at second Barrett moves in front of it...

Not in time! Score It: 1-4 The runner on first, Kaline, is out Joe Torre is going to use a pinch runner Phil Rizzuto is headed out toward first base He will be running for Yogi Berra Knowles better keep an eye on Rizzuto . . . Now Knowles steps off the rubber Rizzuto shortens up on his lead Yount is up now for AL Post WWII Against righthanders Yount is hitting .333 Yount waits for the pitch His bat is coiled Way ahead in the count Knowles turns the 0-2 pitch loose The Whiff!

But only if Jackson can reach safely Jackson goes through his routine of settling in Knowles looks down at Bullock for the sign Now he's ready... Knowles goes into his stretch... Looks at Rizzuto... He fires one to Potpie... Rizzuto dives back in That's his best move to first... Potpie lobs it back Now Knowles comes home Jackson rips a fastball down the line This one may have the distance... But will it be fair? It is heading right at the foul pole... It is.... A foul ball! . . . Jackson back in the box And here comes the next pitch Reggie Jackson hits a drive down the line If it stays fair it may be gone Oh my, Persimmon Pflaggstettler is reaching up... Jumps... And snares it for the out I'm impressed! And that will do it for AL Post WWII FOFC wins 2 to 1 Knowles gets credit for the win Knowles notches the save Fingers takes the loss The hitting star for FOFC was Gerald Gazelle He was 1 for 4 with a homerun And that wraps things up So long from AL Post WWII. |

Manager Update
For the first time in a long time I am excited to do a press conference. I think it is because my adrenalin is still pumping from the game. I quick step it into the press room and start talking before I can sit down so Lou doesn’t the opportunity to piss me off… “Did you guys see that catch?…WHOA was that IMPRESSIVE!...” Lou starts, “Benton, you had… I ignore him and continue my rant, “Persimmon’s play was unbelievable…and a game winner at that. That 1 play might be huge for us down the road. You need to mark the game down in your calendars because you may have a nice retrospective article you can do at the end of the season. MAN that was impressive.” Lou again, “Benton, you had… Still ignoring, “How far did he run?” {silence} “Come on guys…40 yards, 50 yards?” I ask, urging a response. Tom O’Carver, “I’d say it was close to 50.” Reader chimes in, “Yeah close.” Hack Jobb, “It was well over 40 for sure.” Lou, “Benton, you had…” “Yeah, that’s what I thought too…And unless you’ve played the game you probably don’t realize how hard it is to make a catch on the dead run like that when you’ve had to go so far. But to make this even more phenomenal, he had to judge the wall. You know running into it full speed like that might have ended his season. So he ran around 50 yards, full speed, judged the wall, and then had to gather himself and jump to save the Jackson’s would be game winning home run. Oh my – I just can’t sit still. I still see that play in my head. WOW!...” Lou try’s again, “Benton, you had…” “You know what….Pflaggsettler was getting bombarded by reporters and his teammates when I came in here. I didn’t get a chance to really talk to him about that play. I’m going to do that now…” I get up and walk out…with reporters screaming questions at my back. I smirk and continue on like I don’t hear them. |

Dynasty Update
Just a quick note. I am no longer ahead in my game play vs. postings so tonights Swim Team Banquet for the kids may prevent me from playing/posting tonights game. If it does, I'll double up tomorrow. Just wanted to warn everyone up front... Last edited by Breeze : 05-14-2013 at 02:33 PM. |

Manager Update
So I walk into tonight’s press conference knowing that I’m going to get hammered for last nights loss…man how 24 hours can change your emotions when you are a baseball manager. I sit down…and start to say, “Go ahead”…but I get interrupted before I even get to ahead… Lou Scribe, “Benton, tough loss, can you tell us about your emotions right now?” “Lou, I feel terrible. This is one we could have…” I pause for a while…”no probably should have won. That makes it very hard when you are a manager and probably harder for the players. This game gives and it takes away. Last night we won a game we probably shouldn’t have, and tonight we lose one we should have won. I’m disappointed.” “What do you say to the critics who would say this loss was your fault?” Lou follows up… “Nothing, because you aren’t going to convince them otherwise and you’re just going to look like a jackass for trying to defend yourself,” I state in a matter of fact tone. Tom O’Carver, “Benton, I’m not going to say the loss was your fault, but I do have to ask about the way you used your staff tonight….let’s start with… (I realize this is going to be several question and I sigh…) …Williams. Why leave him in so long in the fourth when he clearly was struggling?” “Well to start the error early in the inning didn’t help him, but the real reason I didn’t pull him was because every time I started to take him out there was a left handed batter at the plate. Carew, Brett…ugh…we just couldn’t get them out and I didn’t have a lefthander to put in with Bo out. I finally gave up and put Rodney in.” “I get going to Rodney, who pitched great for you, but why Hunter when you have Fozborg available and he’s been your best long guy all season, why not use him or Kronside…you were in the seventh at that point?” “Well to begin with I didn’t use Kronside because he told Sal he was beat after pitching in the last 2 ball games. I didn’t want to use him at all, but I was short-handed and I needed him to get that 1 out. That is all he would have pitched even if we had tied it in the ninth. As for not using Fozzy…he’s going to start tomorrow’s game. I was debating about swapping Mighty and Foz anyway, but once Bo went down and I lost my lefty out of the pen, I figured circumstances made the decision for me.” “While I might have been able to get a win last night by pitching Foz. It would have forced me to not push him into the rotation for several days. Meaning Mighty probably would have gotten another start and set the swap back even further. At that point Bo probably would have come off the DL before I could have changed the rotation and we’d have been vulnerable to left handed batters for a couple of weeks. Not something you want to be in this league. Lots of really good lefties around here.” "Gotta run guys...hopefully tonight will be better for us, and boy I can't wait to get home. This 17 game road trip is killing me..." |

Swung on... Palmer hits a Baltimore chop... The ball finally comes down into Kelly's waiting glove... King rifles it to first OUT!!! Good thing for Old Timers that Palmer is a slow runner That retires the side The All Stars score 1 run in the inning After 8 innings, FOFC ahead 6 to 3 Dan Brouthers leading off for Old Timers The best way to quiet the crowd is to get a few base runners on Brouthers scuffs up the lines around the box Knowles adjusts his belt... Looks in for the sign from Hays Knowles' righthanded delivery... Inside slider, on the fists... Swung on... It's a high bounding ball... Through the infield into right by Brouthers That's 3 hits for Brouthers this game Next up is George Davis, the Old Timers shortstop FOFC leads by a 3-run margin We're in the top of the 9th Davis has hit 6 home runs this year Knowles looks down at Hays for the sign... Shakes him off once... twice Now he has the pitch he wants The 3-1 pitch is on its way to the plate Knowles needs to come in with this one Davis slaps a hard grounder towards second It is right at Blade... He has his glove down... Whoa! The ball "kangaroos" right over his head!

Old Timers trails the All Stars by 3 The Ancients are down to their final out Buck Ewing is due up Hays takes a trip out to the mound He wants to discuss something with Knowles Now Hays trots back Old Timers coach Charley Gould is saying something to the runner Brouthers at third... Now he slaps him on the back We're ready to go again Buck Ewing steps into the batter's box Sammy looks for the sign he wants... Shakes off the first one But he likes the next Brouthers is dancing off third Knowles is ignoring him Here's the pitch Swung on and missed by Ewing, he's down on strikes And that will do it for Old Timers FOFC wins 6 to 3 Fozborg gets credit for the win Knowles notches the save Galvin takes the loss The hitting star for FOFC was Jeeberoni Potpie He was 2 for 4 with a homerun And that wraps things up So long from FOFC. |
