Managing Career of Dirk Diggler - OOTP20

From the Managers Desk

Damn guys, every time they make me sit down and right these things it is literally the last thing on my mind. I hope this is a minor league thing, better yet a Penn-League thing. Because we are STRUGGLING. And writing a little paragraph about sucking is not very appealing.

That first week of the season I really thought I saw who we were as a team, a five game losing streak didn't even seem possible, but here we are.

It definitely isn't fun to get swept, at any level. I have to give it to Connecticut they really got to our pitchers this series. That team certainly can hit. I was a little disappointed how we came out that final game, losing 8-0. They had punched us in the mouth twice already, and put the cherry on top with that shutout.

Luckily for us, Staten Island is coming to town and they are sitting in last place over in their division, with the same record as us. Hopefully the next time I have to write one of these we have won a game or two.

Until then.
