If only I hadn't played with the nose candy: Darryl Strawberry replay

[BadluckinOOTP]

Darryl was wore out by the end of the season. He could only manage 3 homers in Sept./Oct. His final total on the year was 38. His average in the last month wasn't any better at .212. He finished 4th in the AL in homers.

The Blue Jays even with 94 wins were still 16 games behind the Yankees who finished with 110 wins.


"See that Ghost? 38 homers. Led the team."

"See that Darryl? 158 K's, lead the team. See that Darryl? You have been caught stealing 10 times, leads the team. Yep, you are the best, Darryl"

This kid is good!

Kansas City Royal rookie Ken Howell, just might be on a fast track to the Hall of Fame. After going 21-5 the 23 year old rookie with the 2.46 ERA might already be one of the top 3 pitchers in the majors.

Toronto continues to waste money

The Blue Jays continued to give out contract that don't make sense. By resigning 36-year old reliever Randy Moffit to a 5 year contract, they put themselves in finacial trouble in the near future. Yes Moffitt did save 20 games last year, but with an ERA of well over 4.00. They also resigned 3rd baseman Rance Mullikins to a 9.8 million a year over 4 years. It wouldn't be so bad if Mullikins didn't hit .258 11HR 65 RBI's. If they keep spending all this money they won't be able to resign young star Darryl Strawberry.
Moffitt looks to take back his spot as closer
Mullikins just became VERY rich

Padres draft a dual threat

When the Padres took Jose Canseco with the 2nd pick in the Draft this year, they just might have gotten the next superstar. With unbelievable power and blazing speed, Canseco has the talent for a 40-40 season.
Canseco looks to be the next Willie Mays

Padres lock up the best

San Diego splurged on the best power hitter on the market, and they got him. Dale Murphy signed to a 8-year contract to 13 million a year. " I didn't even know contracts got that long." Murphy said after he dotted his I's and crossed his T's. Murphy hit .291 51HR 112RBI's
Muphy becomes the posterboy for the Padres

Texas gets the top basestealer

Rickey Henderson who stole 119 bases last season joins the Rangers as a Free Agent, after he signed a 3-year contract worth more than 9 million a year. "Rickey know what's best for Rickey" Henderson said when he turned down a higher offer from the Yankees.

Do you have AIM? I would like to ask you some questions.

[BadluckinOOTP]

[BadluckinOOTP]

Darryl looked like a rookie in the first month of the season. Only managing a .202 average and 3 homers. The Blue Jays are being led by Rance Mullikins and Lloyd Moseby to be tied for 1st with a 16-10 record.


Real nice month Darryl. Just above the Mendoza line. .202, really good.

"I'll get it together don't worry ghost."

"Oh, I'm not worried Darryl, I have nothing to lose."

Dickie Thon a hitting machine?

Dickie Thon who signed a 3-year contract worth 12 million a year with the Royals in the offseason, is off to a great start. His career high of homers was set last year when he connected for 15 homers. He already has 9 this month.
Thon, pictured here last year with the Astros, is off to a great start





For some reason I have a lot of over-inflated contracts

[BadluckinOOTP]

Darryl showed more of his power that he had from last year. But his average was still below .220 on the month. He finished with a .213 6HR 18RBI's.


"Oh good Darryl! You raised your average a little this month. Your doing so good."

"Man, you need to shut up!" and Darryl tried to swing the bat at the ghost. The bat passed through the ghost and hit a wall.

League Notes:
Who'd you rather have?

There are 2 young premier pitchers in baseball right now. Dwight "Doc" Gooden and Roger "The Rocket" Clemens. Gooden who came off of an excellent rookie season of 15-11 with a 3.27 E.R.A. is the better strikeout artist. Clemens who was the rookie of the year in the National League, is the control artist of the two. He is already leading the Majors in wins with 9.
Clemens giving a curtian call for no reason at all.
Gooden working on another strikeout.

[tim_uwrf]

Because of your thread, I'm doing a Darryl solo league . He's awesome in my league hitting very nicely.

[BadluckinOOTP]

Thanks Tim_uwrf...



Darryl's average is raising slowly but surely. By slowly I mean it has raised from .207 to .215. But by surely, I meant it is raising. At least Darryl has cracked the top 3 in homers on his own team.


"Darryl... are you becoming a flop before you can even get started? Because if you are just tell me."

"I'm doing better each month, just let leave me alone!"

"Oh yeah by September you average might break .230"

My thoughts: Darryl strikes out a lot! But he does walk more than I thought he would, so that takes away some of the sting. 15 stolen bases look good too.


League Notes:
You can't pronouce his name but he sure can save:
Tom Niedenfuer is perhaps the best closer in baseball this year. After spending 4 previous seasons in the bullpen of the Dodgers, Nieddendfle finnaly got a chance to save games. Nedflanders has 18 saves which puts him 3rd in the National League, it isn't his saves that stand out its Nerfootball's ERA of 1.65 which is the 3rd best of all pitchers that qualify in baseball.

[slucido3]

Excellent! I am LMAO! Keep up the good work. I did a similar league following the progression of the Detroit Tigers from '84 on to see just how bad the AI could make them after their glory days.

You should see Paul Molitor in the league. He is INSANE!!

[BadluckinOOTP]

Darryl hit .284 this month which was by far his best month of the season. It raised his overall batting average to .229.

"I'm moving on up Ghost, I'm out of my slump. I'll break .250 by the end of the season."

OOOOOHHH... you sure have some lofty goals set for yourself, that's what it's all about Darryl. Setting goals and achieving them. Way to go."

My thoughts: Darryl lost his blue stars over the offseason, and was a 3 star player last month. But know he is a 2 1/2 star player. I don't know where he took a hit in his rating but I'll try to find out



League Notes:
Won't Montreal give Fergie a chance?
Ferguson Jenkins is 3 wins short of 300 this season, but instead of giving Jenkins a chance to become a bonafide Hall of Famer, he is rotting in AAA. Jenkins has yet to make a start this season. He made 10 relief appearences this season. The 42 year old Jenkins threw a no-hitter last season.

[BadluckinOOTP]

Darryl had possibly his best month as a pro hitting .347 9HR 29RBI's. Darryl's stars went back up from 21/2 to 3. Darryl needs 1 more homer and 9 stolen bases to reach 30-30.

Darryl put his legs on the coffee table in his living room, sighed and told the ghost, ".347 this month ghost, told you I'd break .250"

"Oh Darryl, you don't get it do you? You have to put more than 1 or 2 months together to have a good season. You have to be consistent to be a star, and you need to watch out or you'll be a falling one"

Nick Esasky, Cincinatti Reds 3rd basemen may be next in line of power hitting 3rd basemen. He already has 40 homeruns this year and he's only 25. Esasky has a legitmate chance at 500 homers with 86 career homeruns at his young age.

[BadluckinOOTP]

Darryl took a nose dive his last month, .206 6HR 20RBI's which was similar to his horrid April and May. His stellar July and awesome August kept his average's head above water.

"Oh boy Darryl, just when I thought you were doing good too. You go off and hit .206. .206!"

"Shut up! Why are you even here?"

"DUH!!! I brought you back in time stupid."

League Notes:
Ripken perhaps could be the all-time best SS?

Cal Ripken Jr. the 25-year old Shortstop for the Baltimore Orioles, had perhaps a breakout season. .338 37HR 133RBI. This is his third straight 100+ RBI season. Ripken is well on his way to a .300 500HR 3000H career.
Ripken is also an excellent defensive shortstop





EDIT-Reading over my post, apparently my ghost is a dead valley girl...

[Jestor]

A valley girl's ghost and Darryl Strawberry?! Hahahahahahahaha Most.Priceless.Combo.Ever!

Hilarious writing overall, by the way

[Skywalker76]

Very good dynasty and really really funny to read- keep it going can't wait for more.

PLAYOFF RESULTS!!



The amazing Baltimore offense captured a world series for the Orioles. Anchored by the "fearsome foursome" of Cal Ripken Jr.(.337 38HR), Dwight Evans(.256 42HR), Eddie Murray(.347 37HR), and Jim Rice(.313 32HR).
