I'll be right back.

Okay, I'm back.
In 2004, my first full year as manager, we started 3-0, and were 11-7 after 2 sims. It was all downhill from there.
In 2005, we started 6-2 but then lost 9 of the next 10.
In 2006, we were 3-5 after the first sim. We won 10 of our last 12 games to finish with 67 wins, my career best.
In '07, we were 9-6 at our peak. After falling to 9-10, we won to pull back to .500, but then lost the next 19 straight games. That season was my career worst, only 52 wins.
Last year, we had our worst start, 1-8. We were doing okay, posting a 54-86 mark on September 11th, but only won 4 of our last 22 games to finish 58-104.
So, the W/L record on our first sim is nothing to be excited about. What I am excited about is how we've won. We've piled on the runs, and coming from a team that usually hits .220, that's something we need to do.
