Team Record: 45-86
Sim Record: 6-4

Games
8/21 - 5-1 WIN @ California - Chris Steelman goes six allowing 6 hits and a run and the rest of the bullpen rocks it out (allowing just 1 hit). Diaz goes 2-3 with 2 runs.
8/22 - 2-1 WIN @ California - Vin Koenig hit a 9th inning solo homerun to put us up for good. O'Parra got the win with a beautifully pitched game (8 IP, 5 H, 1 R).
8/23 - 5-1 WIN vs Idaho - The middle of Idaho's order goes a combined 6-12, but the rest of the team can only gain one other hit off of Alex Acevedo (in a complete game effort). Oakley hit his 12th homerun of the year and Mutsuhito went 2 for 4 with a run and 2 RBI.
8/24 - 3-2 WIN vs Idaho - We extend our winning streak with a 7 inning, 4 hit, 2 run performance by Paul Long. Francisco Diaz went 3-4 and Stier picked up his 11th save of the season.
8/25 - 2-0 loss vs Idaho - Long and Koenig each had two hits, but not much else happened on the offensive end. McKie pitched well enough to win, but not well enough to stop Richard San Juan from picking up his 18th win of the season.
8/26 - Off Day
8/27 - 2-1 WIN vs Washington (11 innings) - Steelman won PoG honors for his second straight start (8 IP, 8 H, 1 R), but the hero of the day was Oscar Oakley who singled home Vin Koenig in the 11th (after he had reached on an error).
8/28 - 4-2 loss vs Washington - More of the same for our Rams. Acevedo went 4.2 innings giving up 4 runs. Koenig and Jerkins had two hits apiece.
8/29 - 5-2 loss vs Washington - Long doesn't even make it 5 innings, giving up all but one of the runs. This was too much for us to come back from. Tanocito Long was the only one to get more than one hit (one of which was an RBI double).
8/30 - 7-2 loss vs Kansas - McKie gets shelled. The good news, if there is good news, is that the top of our order (Mingo, Warner, and Koenig) combined to go 5-12 with a run and 2 RBI.
8/31 - 5-4 WIN vs Kansas (11 innings) - Richard Jerkins hit a solo homerun in the bottom of the 11th inning to end this one and crank our record in extra inning games to 10-6 (3nd best in the league). We pitched well (O'Parra) and hit well. Diaz had 2 triples, but Warner was the star of our offense with both a triple and a homerun, picking up 3 RBI in the process.

When you are more games behind the leader of the division than the amount of games your team has won, I think it's safe to say that we aren't winning much this year.

There's a nice little battle in the East, but both have playoff spots locked up.

I'm actually fairly impressed by my pitching staff. We need more strikeouts, but overall, the ERA's aren't too bad. I'd still love to get someone with 10 wins though. Long has a definite shot.

I'm also impressed wth how well Arnie Stier has been doing in the closer roll. He's used to it, of course, but I'm still impressed.

I can't tell you how excited I will be once we bring up some hitters. We have 2 guys hitting over .250, and only one of them is above .251! This next month is going to be fun. I'm going to bring up some young guys and see how they do.

Do you realize that we might go the entire season without 1 guy getting to 60 RBIs?

Also, McLaughlin got hurt last sim, and is out for three weeks. This could actually turn out to be a career ending injury because he may not be back next year (he's 38 with rapidly declining ratings).

There is our future. Part of the #1 Farm system in the NPBL. Hennen and Massengill are definitely getting a shot in the next couple of weeks, as will Herold and Perez. I'm definitely bringing some other guys up to see how they do. They may not be up for the entire month, but a whole bunch of people will get a shot.

The future is now!
