I am simming the first 2or3 games in each series and playing the last to make things faster. In game 3 at Detroit, it was a scoreless pitchers duel going into the eighth inning. Only 5 hits for each team. Sparks was throwing his knuckler for the Tigers and giving my guys all kinds of trouble. In the top of the eighth the Tigers get a run across on a double play which I THOUGHT I HAD! but runner at first was safe...ouch! Then, top of the ninth with a new Tigers pitcher on...he walks the first two batters! Wow. A sac fly moves em to 2nd/3rd. Then, my leadoff hitter (who was player of the game, going 4 for 4). hits one down the right field line to score the runner from third and tie it up, 1-1. Now runners on 3rd and 1st. I steal 2nd. Batter walked again. Bases Loaded, which brings a pitching change from the Tigers. First batter faced; yours truly and I am walked also on 5 pitches....WALKS IN THE GO AHEAD RUN! 2-1. Detroit finally retires the side..and has one more chance. I make a pitching change to LH Smith and my Pirranahs take em out 1-2-3 to end the game.
ALSO, on positive note; my bullpen makes the weekly (last 10 game) TWIB's WHOS HOT by posting a 1.66 bullpen ERA. Also, I have two players in the running for AL rookie of the year. Great game and although I have WSB2k3, I find more and more that ASB2004 is spending the majority of time in the ol XBOX! ENJOY!
