GAME 1

Starters:
MON - Javier Vazquez
ATL - Greg Maddux

This game was tight from the very beginning, as both teams played extraordinary defense behind spectacular pitching performances. Both offenses came out hitting the ball, but for the most part, were unable to come through with runners in scoring position. As a result, the game ended up going into extra innings, where leadoff man Endy Chavez won the game with an RBI base hit. The Expos won game one of the series, 3-2, in twelve innings.

WP - Stewart (1-0)
LP - Hernandez (0-1)
S - Biddle (1)


Chavez - 3-6
Cordero - 2-5, 2 2B, RBI
Guerrero - 2-5, 2B, SB

GAME 2

Starters:
MON - Orlando Hernandez
ATL - Mike Hampton

Going into the seventh inning, all was well for Montreal. They had a five run cushion, leading 6-1 over the Braves, and had already had a great day offensively by numerous players. However, when Orlando Cabrera stole 2nd base, and dove head first ( ), he fractured his right arm, and will now be on the DL for 45 days. The Expos still won, by the score of 6-1.

WP - O. Hernandez (1-0)
LP - Hampton (0-1)
HR - Guerrero (1), Wilkerson (1)


Guerrero - 2-4, HR, 2 RBI
Wilkerson - 3-4, HR, 3B, 2 RBI


Giles - 2-4
C. Jones - 2-4, 2 2B, RBI

Filling in for Cabrera at shortstop will be Henry Mateo

Starters:
MON - Livan Hernandez

Another tight game between two NL East powerhouses, this game lead to extra innings. Both teams hit the ball fairly well, but the defense and pitching struggled on both sides, giving up big hits on numerous occassions. In the bottom of the tenth inning, however, the Braves came up big when it mattered, and knocked in the winning run, giving them the 5-4 win.

GAME 1

Starters:
MON - Ohka
NYM - Leiter

The pitching and defense, for both clubs, was extraordinary in this NL East matchup. Neither pitching staff allowed the opposing offense to get anything generated all evening, making the game go into extra innings. In the top of the 11th, with the score tied at one apiece, Jose Vidro hit a double to the gap, scoring Endy Chavez. Rocky Biddle then came in to shut the door, giving the Expos the 2-1 win.

WP - Reames (1-0)
LP - Strickland (0-1)
S - Biddle (2)


Guerrero - 2-4, 2B, SB, RBI
Vidro - 1-5, 2B, RBI


Piazza - 2-5, 2B
Sanchez - 3-5

*Following the game, the Mets traded away Rey Sanchez to the Padres for Ramon Vazquez*

Re: Montreal Expos (MVP)

Very nice franchise thread. I wish I had the money to get WSB2k3. Looks like I just might have to wait until WSB2k4. I still have WSB though, so I still have a baseball game to play.
