HH, looks like "The Show" is really paying off for you. After all the hard work you put into 2k7 and sliders failing miserably, your boxscores are looking really good with "Show".

Yeah, the Show is awesome. My offense is starting to struggle again. I'm batting 28th in the league right now after my good start. My pitching is up and down, it looks like the Yankees are getting hot and I'm now 2 back. It's a long season, and I can't wait to see where it leads me. Thanks for your support and checking in. Love your page as well.

I love how your page looks. It just feels awesome with the great touch in colours and stuff...

I guess for some constructive criticism, even just one paragraph about what happened would totally put this on a new front. Take game 10 for example. Just a simple tidbit saying:

Greinke's changeup was untouchable tonight. We would get one or two guys scattered on, but there was simply no time to start a rally. Melvin Mora continues to be cold...keep an eye on that in the future. Meanwhile, I can't help but be impressed with Adam Loewen. The young Canuck has shown an extremely strong two starts, and we can only hope he keeps it up.

I obviously made it up...but it was so quick. I know some people are all about the stats, and obviously, it's baseball...162 games is a hefty number to cover. However, just the tiniest message could make all the difference to having readers getting intimate with your team, and readers knowing your team is 4-6 for some reason.

Haha, I rambled. I still love this though. Good on you man. Glad to see the Show is working out!

Thanks man, yeah I used to have a Headline for each game in my previous season I was doing. I decided to drop it though and add the Player of the Game instead. I really enjoyed that part as well, maybe I'll give it another run. The reason I got away from it was because others said how great my page was for being simple and not alot of confusion to it. I guess a small one or two sentence paragraph wouldn't hurt though. I start with the next game. Thanks for your support and following and your suggestion.
