Ten Years of Tigers History - An "Every-Pitch" The Show Franchise!

Well, figure if I was doing Play One - Sim Five, we'd be at the playoffs already...

Playing every pitch is a LOT different. I've actually considered putting this on hold for a few days (I have 320 GB HD and flash drive) and running a Play One - Sim Five, and actually making a STORY out of it.

I will have this franchise going for five years, I just don't know if I want to put the readers on pause that have come this far....But when I see the excitement other writers are able to generate because they get moving at a clip much faster than me... it makes me think.

Don't go with two Dynasties at once. It's too hard to keep everything straight. How Hurst does it is an absolute mystery to me.

Choose one or the other. If you want to make it classic with this one, or some exciting back story. Either way, I'm following. It's nice to see an every pitch dynasty around here, to be honest. But if you can't keep it moving....

It's all your decision. Do what you want. Just make sure you have fun.

Well, I'm having fun with it... but it doesn't seem like too many people are following, except a few....

Am I the only every-pitch dynasty??

I guess I'm just trying to see more of what the READERS want. I love BASEBALL, hell, I'd consider another team, a fantasy draft -- whatever... if people actually want to read about it.

Or -- people could just let me know more of what they'd like to see here to pique their interest.

For now, I'm off to play. Can probably get 3-4 games in before bed... I work 6 days this week so

I only worked part time this summer, and I'm done Ahh, being a kid(ish). So now, I can update every day, and I do!

I aim to please the viewers in terms of my stories/updates/etc. But, I play how I play. It's my way of not getting burned out, if I have a system in place, which I do. That's key- Don't get burned out! Do whatever is the MOST FUN for you.

Well, I do have some developing storylines... can Scherzer and Fister keep it up? Can Verlander keep improving after such a mediocre start to this season... will the bullpen ever stop imploding on me?

It just takes longer for my storylines to develop, and without the backstory of the other great dynasties to fall back on -- I feel like there's not enough excitement -- that's all.

I'm not burnt out -- I just play to play. I just figured it'd be a good idea to share my experience as I know most people DON'T play every game. I just want to liven things up for ya'll, but not sure how without the great backstories of the others.

Guess I'll just experiment with some things, and hopefully get more people interested... if they get interested, they'll have something to get involved with and read for several years.

you're doing good man.. just keep playing man. As ACMilan has been saying, just do what's enjoyable for you. The biggest thing I'm trying to see is if someone else can make it the full 162, that alone will hold my interest as you proceed through this season.
