I hope so too man. I'm really getting into this season. My team has some potential to make it exciting if the pitching comes around and holds up it's end. I'll be posting stats for the players at the 20,40,60,81,100,120,140,162 mark, and they are starting to look good. Luke Scot for MVP!!!!!!!!

PITCHING MATCH-UP

Daniel Cabrera James Shields 1-0 W-L 0-1 4.97 ERA 4.07

Rays even series with strong pitching and defense!!!!!

St. Petersburg - The Rays seen something tonight that they aren't too familiar with. Good pitching and good defense. James Shields got his first victory of the season by going a strong 6.0 innings allowing only 2 runs againt the O's. If it weren't for the strong play by 3rd baseman Evan Longoria, Shields would probably not have recorded the victory tonight. Longoria snagged down two hard line drives that would've plated runs to end the 4th and 6th innings and capped it off in the 9th robbing Kevin Millar of a sure double down the line to lead off the inning. The O's had their chances as they loaded the bases in the 7th with nobody out only to manage one run and got the tying run to 3rd in the 9th before Troy Percival recorded his 3rd save of the season by striking out Luis Hernandez to end the game. On a side note, O's starter Alex Cintron extended his hitting streak to 10 games in the loss. The "Birds" will try to capture the series tomorrow as they send Brian Burres to the hill.

I started an orioles franchise of my own and they can really hit. Everyone except Adam Jones and Luis Hernandez is good for me. I only played one game so far though and won 5-3. Guthrie went 7. Ramon Hernandez hit a homerune. I'm doing play 1 sim 2 because of time constraints. They are a fun team to play with.

Yeah, they are fun to play with. It can be frustrating at times also, like my last game. I had my chances to win, but couldn't produce when I needed to.
