Re: Franchise Progress Thread

I am now 8-8 with the Red Sox. Split game 1 and 2 with the Yankees and about to play the rubber. LEster is having a terrible year going 1-3 with a 6.39 ERA. Beckett is 2-1 with a 4.02 ERA. Wake is by far my best pitcher right now at 1-0 with a 2.21 ERA. Pedroia is finally starting to hit the ball. Ellsbury has been put in the 9 hole as of 4 games ago because he cannot hit anything. PApi has 3 homers but is only batting.196. Bay is my best hitter so far batting .378 with 6 homers and 17 RBI. Lowrie is doing great as my SS and hitting OK. Mike Lowell was put on the 15 day DL and I called up Bowden to help my bullpen who are struggling mightily right now.

I played against Boston the other day and they had Youk playing DH and Papi at first for the whole series. I thought that was funny. I wondered if Youk's gold glove was getting dusty.

EDIT:
Just played two games and HAD to update. I'll preface this by sayin I have not hit a walk-off home run in over 100 games of the Show.

Playing Detroit I was down 4-1 in the 7th and rallied back to make it 4-3 in the bottom of the 9th. Shoo leads off with a single and I pinch hit with Victor Martinez who proceeds to hit a walk-off 2 run HR on a 2-2 changeup!

Game 2: Playing the White Sox it was a pitching duel : Cliff Lee vs. Gavin Floyd. White Sox are up 1-0 with 2 out in the bottom of the 8th when Shoo ties the game up with a first pitch HR to right center field. Betancourt retires the Sox 1-2-3 and Sizemore leads the bottom of the 9th of with ANOTHER walk-off HR on a 2-0 fastball!

What a two game stretch...

Re: Franchise Progress Thread

Brian Burres sucks just as bad in the game as he does in real life. Scott Richmond got injured, so I called up Brian Burres to replace him and he is 0-5 with an ERA over 7.00 since being called up. This game really is the most realistic. He's going back to AAA. I think I will bring up Brian Wolfe.
