Never has a game that I enjoy this much, also piss me off this much.

I agree with this part completely.

LOL...ouch!!!

Man, this game puts me through an emotional roller coaster sometimes. Im in a good happy mood one minute and the next minute im talking to myself saying that it is only one game and will have to break out of this slump eventually. I have games where I feel great then I have games where I can't do anything right. That's baseball for you. Im gonna stick to it and play better.

I'm not sure if this has happened to anyone but it has happened to me a couple of times. Ball gets hit between second and first and goes to the outfield and as my outfielder is running in towards the ball I pre-load a throw to a base and my outfielder doesn't even go into his catching animation and the ball rolls through him and to the wall. a single sometimes turns into a double or a triple.

One bright side about the fielding though that I saw that they fixed is that I had a ball bounce off of Cano's glove and Jeter picked it up and fired it over to first for the out. Last year this would have been an automatic single since Jeter would have stood there letting Cano get up and get the ball.

Might wanna re-think that comment there, sir. The Rangers may have under-achieved last season. But lose the season series to the Yankees . . . they did not.

6/30 @ Yankee Stadium -- 2-1 Texas
7/1 @ Yankee Stadium -- 3-2 Texas
7/2 @ Yankee Stadium -- 18-7 New York
-------
8/4 @ Rangers Ballpark in Arlington -- 9-5 Texas
8/5 @ Rangers Ballpark in Arlington -- 8-6 Texas
8/6 @ Rangers Ballpark in Arlington -- 5-3 New York
8/7 @ Rangers Ballpark in Arlington -- 3-0 New York

That's a 4-3 series win for the Rangers.

Now, if you'd said Yankees/Rangers in the playoffs. Yeah, that's embarrasing is all I'm sayin'.

This happens to me as well, but rarely.
I am 1-7 in my Franchise with the Athletics. The Angels swept me 4-0 in the season series opener and then the Marines beat me 1-2 in the next series. I then lost my first game of my series against the Red Sox. After my Red Sox series, I have to play the Yankees, Rays, and I think the Blue Jays. Lol I could possibly be 1-18 in a couple of weeks.
