I play out all my team's games.

I won 94 games in the regular season, my first season, and won my division. I had the runner-up and 3rd place finisher for Cy Young (Sandy Koufax and Smokey Joe Wood) as well as the League MVP (Mel Ott). I had also remained virtually injury free all season.

Then, in early September, Ott went down for what would have been until Game 3 of the World Series. THEN, with 2 games left in the regular season, my closer (Papelbon) went down until sometime in November.

I ended up getting in a 3-0 hole in the LCS but won the next 2 games. Ended up losing in Game 6. My uberreliable setup man (John Franco), who had been "hot" all season and had an ERA of about 1.30 ended up getting shelled as the closer in post-season, to the tune of an ERA near 100. Yes, one-hundred.

Still, I didn't have any problem with the "realism" of the game come post-season. Had I not lost Ott and Paps things likely would have turned out differently.

Such is baseball!

Well, that's my two cents. . .
