      This is pretty awesome man. Seems like a lot of work though. If it's easy enough I would definitely make one.

      By the way, I think I know that USC chick...

          I'm not doing to good right now. I'm playing with the Yankees. I'm 12-23. I keep losing close games in the end. Mariano is very underated inthis game. I'm playing on allstar. I'm hitting very good but my pitching isn't that good right now.

            0-3 with the Giants.

            I've scored a grand total of 2 runs. The Giants couldn't hit AA pitching.

                      Ugh, dropped to 6-12 with the Jays with a 2-1 loss this morning. Took a 1-0 lead into the 8th, Marcum (not injured in my game ) was throwing a gem, but gave up a lead off single to Alexei Ramirez. Brought in Downs and K'd Pierzynski. Brought in Janssen and K'd Dye. Quentin then singled so 1st and 2nd and Thome coming up. I bring in Ryan and he blows 3 straight fastballs by him.

                      Fast forward through my usual 3 up, 3 down inning and up steps Konerko, first pitch fastball over the fence in left. Tie game. Single, sac bunt, single, GAME OVER!

                      Bumping hitting slightly again. I just can get the timing down this year. I have timing maxxed out. Oh well, still a deeply immersive game and once I get the hang of it, it will be a lot of fun to try and catch the Rays, Yanks and Red Sox who are all hot to start the year.

                        We have similar records. My starting pitching is pathetic and my bullpen's arms are going to fall off by the all-star break. I'm thinking of shipping Andy Pettitte to the minors. He's had 1 good start all season and his ERA is over 7.
                        I seem to hit fine until I get runners in scoring position. Then I either strike out or hit something weak somewhere. And it's even worse with a runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs. 9 times out of 10 that run wont score. Frustrating.

                          Funny, same thing happens to me. Im 7-4 in my Yankees franchise so you have played more games than me but I agree with what you are saying regarding hitting with runners in scoring position. I don't know what it is but I think some of it has to be psychological I mean when I get a man in scoring position i tend to become a little impatient. I think I just need to approach each at bat the same way.

                          Also, Arod is injured for me and will be out about a month. He got injured in the 4th game of the season. He was doing well for me. He laready had 2 HRs. Im using Nick Swisher to play 3rd in his absence. Looking forward to getting Arod back.

                            I just dropped 3 of 4 to the Cardinals in my Nats franchise, i fall to 9-16 and last (8 GB) in the NL East. My pitching is awful, i traded for James Shields who has been decent for me, Sean Marshall who has been a pleasent surprise, and Dontrelle Willis who has been awful. The only two original Nats in my rotation are Lannan and Olsen (who is awful like Dontrelle-cant hit the zone). My offense is studly and Zimmerman is on like a 22 game hit streak.

                            A question to you all, how are you guys doing financially? I'm struggling with a small-market team to get fans to come out to the games, i only average about 21,000 a night and it is hurting my ticket income. My projected income for the season is -17,000..any tips? This is my first MLB The Show purchase, i got it for PS2 instead of 2k9.

                              1-1 with Dbacks. Haren gave up the loss and Webb won the first game. Just started playing the game, I love it. Signed Manny and Ben Sheets to four year deals. Hopefully Manny will improve the hitting, and Sheets hopefully will help the pitching out a bit.
