I've not really played a good team yet (The Royals aren't nearly as good as they used to be) but I will be starting a series against Houston today.

Thoughts thus far:

It's fun. It is a lot like managing the Padres: keep the expectations low and hope for some luck. I feel I am a serious injury or two away from my season being completely lost, however. I am hoping the young bats in AAA will be good enough next year for me to cast-off some of these place-holders in my lineup (I'm looking at you Trevor Plouffe/Yonder Alonso/ Jed Lowrie).
Keep going! I enjoy following your post.
