Man this is gonna be fun!

[Vince]

I just started a GM mode Franchise with the Pirates.My owner is a fan type and want to make the team into a winner.

On my goals list,he wants me to win 100 games!Keep in mind this is with the pirates,who are a solid team,but in real life not a team that can win 100-90 games.Add to that,i have to do it without going over 262 in money used and still gotta get rid of Kris Benson.

Should be really fun.I may even play 130 games!

I had a dictator type owner on a terrible team and he wanted me to win 85 games or make the playoffs. I finished in last place 2 years in a row, couldn't acquire a good base stealer or dominant pitcher like he asked and he gave me the axe. It felt like I was playing for Steinbrenner.

I started a GM franchise with the Cardinals and my owner wanted me to dump Woody Williams, obtain a starting pitcher with a 85+ rating and a below 3.00 ERA last season, and win the frigging world series.

First two goals complete! I traded Woody Williams (77) to Oakland for Rich Harden (75) and then traded Chris Carpenter (71) and Rick Ankiel (69) to the White Sox for Esteban Loiza (86).

Now my pitching staff is:

Matt Morris
Jeff Suppan
Jason Marqius
Rich Harden
Esteban Loiza

For the third task, winning the World Series won't be so easy. What is cool is that as soon as I dumped Williams, the owner raised my rating to a C- and deposited 20 BP in my account. When I acquired Loiza, he raised me to a B and gave me like another 16 BP. Also swapping Williams' 40 BP for Harden's 0 BP didn't hurt either. I then went out and signed the overpriced Aaron Boone to back up Scott Rolen at 3rd base.

I'm really enjoying this GM thing!
