Alright so those who know me from my other posts know I started out my season 1-14. I ended up bitching out, not because I wasnt having fun, but because I lost so many early games based on errors, and learning everything as I went along since I had never played the 2k series and I jumped into franchise without any exhibition games. So I decided to count that as my spring training and started a new season.
So my first game against KC I lose 9-2, and im thinking, alright, new season same story. Still having a blast though. So my next game I finally get off the shnibe as I win 4-3 in a thriller. Jenks came in for the save and gave up 2 singles to start off the inning. After a bunt put runners on 2nd and 3rd I was able to pop up the next two batters and hold on. I was extreamly happy to finally win again even though it was against KC.
So I wrap the up the series with a 4-0 complete game shutout win with Garland and head home vs detroit. I then pitch a 6-0 complete game shutout with Vazquez, and then again a complete game shutout with Milton to take the first two vs detroit. So here I am thinking, what the hell is going on? All the sliders are the same and I cant believe how easily im winning now. So I go into the final game of the series vs detroit and in the top half of the first grab another easy 3 up and 3 down. Then a basehit by Pods and a homerun by Thome and im up 2-0 early. So im thinking how the heck can I all a sudden pitch lights out and light everyone up after starting out 1-14 unable to get anyone out or produce any offense in my last franchise. The 3rd detroit game ended up raining out in the bottom of the first inning. So I was off to Cleveland with my 3 complete game shutouts in a row and a scoreless inning (not official) in the rain out. So 28 scoreless inning pitched.
Then I get brought back down to earth. Again I grab a 2-0 lead in the 2nd inning in cleveland, but they answer right away in the bottom half. Then in the 5th, 6th and 7th they absolutly light me up for 15 runs off contrares, McDougal and Thorton. I couldnt get any outs for the life of me. So I was pissed and relieved at the same time. I actually thought it was magically getting too easy or that I had caught on to something without realising it.
I played 1 more game last night at cleveland and was tied 2-2 heading into the 8th. Then in the bottom of the 8th I pulled a Grady Little and stuck with my ace Buehrle when I had 2 out, bases loaded and he ended up giving up a gapper. They grabbed the 4-2 lead and ended up winning with that.
Im loving this game so freaking much!
Also Konerko so far this season for me has been LIGHTS OUT. In 7 games so far hes batting .551 with 3 home runs and 9 rbi's.
