The Return of "The Earl of Baltimore" - MLB, The Show 2007

Re: The Return of "The Earl of Baltimore" - MLB, The Show 2007

That was a tough loss off of a blow save.

It really wasn't a blown save in game #1 against the Yankees. Baez took too long to warm up and it was Wright who gave up the bases clearing double to Cano and later the run-scoring single by Abreu. I probably could have taken Wright out earlier but I decided to let him try to work his way out of the jam.

In game #2, Bedard had only thrown 82 pitches for the first 8 innings and I left him in. Ray was warming up in the pen when Giambi belted the big fly into the right field seats.

As always, thanks for the reply.

Re: Statistics after 1st week

Hey Doncoryell, this looks really good man, a -3 record is not to bad with the O's.

I was just wondering and i no this has nothing to do with Baseball or this thread but i noticed that you used SDSU for a dynasty on Digital Sports Mania and i was just wondering if you are not using them any more, is there any chance i could maybe use some of your banners and stuf???

If not no worries man, thanks alot mate.

Re: Statistics after 1st week

Hey Doncoryell, this looks really good man, a -3 record is not to bad with the O's.

I was just wondering and i no this has nothing to do with Baseball or this thread but i noticed that you used SDSU for a dynasty on Digital Sports Mania and i was just wondering if you are not using them any more, is there any chance i could maybe use some of your banners and stuf???

If not no worries man, thanks alot mate.

I did use SDSU before in a dynasty but I didn't have anything like banners or "stuff" (like pictures). I think that Grasshopper over there was playing with them last. You might want to check with him about banners and things. I'm more of a no frills and lots of info kind of journalist.

Thanks for reading this and the kind words.

Love your game recaps man. Don't fall to far behind, or as I'm experiencing, it's tough to get back in it.

Thanks. I like to give the reader the feeling of being right there at the game.

If Earl Weaver sees more games like the last one out of him, Daniel Cabrera is going to find himself on the first bus to Norfolk. I'll put either Burres or Trachsel in the rotation in his place.

Re: The Return of "The Earl of Baltimore" - MLB, The Show 2007

Note to all: I have to be out of my house in 20 days so these birds will be on hiatus for a while. I will get this back going after I get settled into a new place (hopefully that place will not be my car. it'll be cramped with my brother plus my 2 dogs and 1 cat.)

Re: The Return of "The Earl of Baltimore" - MLB, The Show 2007

note: It took a while but I am in an apartment now. I still have some things left at the house but I will now get back to this as well as my ch2k8 thread. That is, if anyone would still be following this. (I hope that there are, BTW)
