71 wins, 85 losses, third place. It's more of the same in New Orleans as the 1995 season dwindles down, but slowly we're getting out of this rut that we're in. I'm predicting that by, uh, like 2008 we'll be at least challenging for second place.

We started the sim by dropping 2 of 3 to Calgary at home (hey, we wanted to be nice to Bisbo on his way out), then we won 2 of 3 against Austin in Austin, and finally ended the sim by losing 2 of 3 to Montreal. Pretty much status quo for the season, unfortunately.

To make matters worse, Lee Dedeau managed to injure his back and missed a start, and will be taken out of the rotation for the rest of the season in hopes that he doesn't get lumped AGAIN. *evil glare at Recte*

On the bright side, Jason Stucky is proving that he does belong in the MBBA. His line of .306/.324/.500 over the 15 games he's played in is very promising, and the team has high hopes for Ogre to add some much needed power to the middle of the order to compliment Champ Kind and Team MVP Willie Williams.

On the pitching side of things, Righty Grove is having a very good season given the crappy team surrounding him. 12 wins, a sub-4.00 ERA, and 5th in the MBBA with 265 strikeouts. With the dollars that have been thrown at top tier pitchers the last few offseasons, the team is very happy with Grove's 6.2 million for the next couple seasons. Continuing the good starting pitching for a good price, former MLB Defector Shawn Boskie continues his masterful season, albeit marred by a terrible win-loss record of 10-11. Boskie sports an impressive 2.70 ERA, with a 1.16 WHIP and a miniscule 42 walks over 236 innings this season, and is 5th in the FL with a VORP of 57.0. Boskie's 5.5 million per season extension was questioned when it was signed, but for a legit ace, that's not a bad contract at all.

Now, I know that most of you wouldn't even notice, but no Crawdad season would be complete without talking about him. After being written off for dead by a bunch of idiots, Gunga Oogolagunga has come back this season to post an ERA of 3.50 with 31 saves and a 0.95 WHIP. The career saves leader (486) is also approaching 100 wins on his career, he surpassed the 1,000 strikeout mark (he's pitched a total of 1097 innings, mind you). I'll say it again: The man is a g*d*mn Hall Of Famer, and whoever thinks otherwise is a moron, end of story.

To finish out the season, the Crawdads plan on a combination of Hookers and Blow, followed up by a relaxing couple days on the beach.
