Most wins, yet no rings

jf7623 · 02-28-2007, 03:51 PM

Damn I lost 25 in a row!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay I guess I do get the #1 draft pick. I want a re-sim.........lol

kreitena · 02-28-2007, 03:56 PM

Oh well, there is next season.

scprideandms · 02-28-2007, 08:43 PM

All I could say earlier in an email to the league was WOW!!! But it's time to give credit where credit is due, besides me for my wonderful inaugural drafting

, so here goes an analysis of the teams lineup and pitching and their contribution (or lack of it) to our sucess.

1. Jim Walewander, Shortstop .332 OBP : He's gonna lose his leadoff spot next yr but is a decent enough shortstop
2. John "Bad Dude" Stearns, Catcher Not bad (though team offense is BAD 10th in runs scored) 2nd on the team in RBI's but a definite off year compared to 1901
3. Frank Robinson, Rightfield still not driving in the runs expected but its more the fault of the guys ahead of him. Frank had an AMAZING OPS of 1.208 to help the team win the pennant.

4. Emmett Seery, Pitcher (YEAH this is Funky, he's in lineup as OF but listed in game and html as a PITCHER)..... Again just a below avg year which is not surprising as we have no offense.

5. Nick Esasky, First Base I was glad to see Nick on my team, he was a personal fav of mine when he played, Nick is prob most improved bumping his OPS 70 points from 1901

6. Charlie "Cholly" Engle, Third Base and Lyn "Broadway" Lary, Third Base
Platoon worked een though it wasn't a lefty/righty thing

7. Domingo Cedeno, Second Base Sucky offense with even suckier defense
8. Eddie L. Miller, Centerfield, 21 yrs took over the last 44 games of the season from the suddenly very old playing Sam West, Centerfield, 37 yrs

2b and CF are 2 positions that need first priotity but other than Frank Robinson there is no offense.

Rotation
1. Vern Olsen, Starting Pitcher 20-14 with 28CG QS% 67% 5 Shutouts
2. Larry Dierker, Starting Pitcher almost identical to Olsen
3. Alan Embree, Starting Pitcher almost identical to Dierker

Relief

Al Fitzmorris, Starting Pitcher 5 games 5 IP nuff said
Lloyd Allen, Reliever 8 games 5 IP nuff said
Milt Gaston, Starting Pitcher, 33 yrs 51 IP 2.09 era 4 starts did well enough to get some more action next yr
Paul Strand, Reliever 5.04 ERA but 4 saves
Leon Chagnon, Starting Pitcher 16-9 will prob go as #4 SP next yr as Beaneaters switch to 4 man

All in all I think we got lucky, got hot pitching (mid season we were IIRC 9th or so in lg in ERA ended season 3rd) at the end, and the top teams are closely bunched in talent so...

We definitely need some offensive upgrades especially up the middle...

2.

scprideandms · 02-28-2007, 08:49 PM

hmm, wins aren't everything, CHAMPIONSHIPS are...

now about that bet we had, remember you now have until 1904 to leave Boston!!!!!!

Yay! Stearnsie's doing well! On the Mets he was 'the guy between Grote and Carter', but we loved him. On our high school softball team the girls who alternated at first base and catcher were nicknamed Stearns and Grote.

scprideandms · 03-01-2007, 07:15 AM

2. On a team note, we realize that Boston is not a large enuf "city" to support 2 good teams, let alone a good one and a mediocre one. I propose that the team with the worst overall record after the 1910 season be required to move franchise to another city................

Better?

I have an alternate proposal. The team with the dumbest nickname has to move.

Oh, wait. The Somersets is almost as lame as the Beaneaters

scprideandms · 03-01-2007, 11:51 AM

Stupid American Leaguers, you said " Oh, wait. The Somersets is almost as lame as the Beaneaters" it should have said "Oh, wait. The Somersets is lamer then the Beaneaters"

Geez, next thing you know in a few decades they'll want special hitters for the pitchers.......

And on an owners note, the Real Boston team needs an offensive (better than what I got) SS, 2b or CF. Willing to exchange any SP (yes any) in exchange for the right guy!!!!

deuelz · 03-01-2007, 08:46 PM

BaTTY Catobase updated through 1902. Not sure what happened with the logos. I'll try and fix it for next seasons update.

As I just drafted a SS with the #2 pick, I have my 28 year old shortstop, Ollie Beard, available. If you are interested.

scprideandms · 03-02-2007, 09:14 PM

I got Steve Sax and some OF'er in draft for now we'll see. Geez, my season hingeing on a 2nd rd draft pick whose name I can't even remember!!!!!

OFF TO THE RACES - PENNANT CHASES LOOK TIGHT AGAIN

The race for the flag in both the American and National Leagues looks to be tight once again with all teams having completed 40 games on the regular schedule. The AL is currently led by the Detroit Tigers, who sit just a game ahead of both the Athletics and Browns, with the White Sox a mere three games behind. Last season's AL titlists from Washington? They floundered out of the gate and are 18-22, six games off the pace.

Over in the Senior Circuit, the Cardinals hold a one-game edge on Chicago with Brooklyn lurking two games back. Like their AL counterparts, the defending champions from Boston are 18-22. They're seven games behind the Cards.

On the player front, familiar faces are off to a good start in the batting race. The AL's top batsmen is currently Ty Cobb of New York, who has a sparkling .438 average. Willie McCovey of the Athletics is also off to a red-hot start, with a .409 mark. Over in the NL, the familiar face of Cap Anson is atop the charts with a .423 average, nearly fifty points ahead of his nearest competitor, Cardinals' star Paul Waner (.377). The NL pitching race is led by Cecil Upshaw of Brooklyn who has a 1.83 ERA but just a 4-4 record. Frank Williams of Boston leads the American League slabmen with a 1.99 ERA. The win charts are led by Detroit's Matt Kilroy (10) in the AL and Chicago's Gordon Maltzberger (9) in the NL.

metsgeek · 03-05-2007, 11:46 AM

That's the Frank Williams that everyone else let drop to #15. Now if only I could get my team some run support. These crappy draft picks are gonna catch up with me soon, though.

scprideandms · 03-05-2007, 12:20 PM

It's not your hitting or pitching, it's the fact your team is on the wrong side of the tracks in Boston.................

oh yeah, we suck so far too...............

kreitena · 03-05-2007, 12:42 PM

Competitive this year again. Only 1 game back.
