What a Division we have. Bobs Burgers are tied for the third best record in our Conference and they are in third place in our Division. Go figure. 🤷*♂️

That's awesome! Never seen a real life card that old before. You must have quite a man cave with that kind of card collection.

Wow. Very lucky to string together enough hits to squeeze out those runs with 2 outs and no one on base in the bottom of the 8th. Maybe stealing that game is the wakeup call the Breakers need to finish strong!

It's sitting on some shelves......not too impressive.....here is a photo of my actual card....he was a catcher for the Pittsburg Alleghenys.

Edit: In case anyone wants to read about George....

Was that card really from 1888? Or a tribute card? Don’t laugh I only know the late fifty’s and the 60s when I got mine. From bubble gum machines and bubble gum cards.😁

That was really from 1888, not some reprint. The oldest cards I know of were from 1887 from Allen & Ginter. This was a year later. PSA authenticated it as original from 1888.

Thank you in advance for any info you might have heard . It is not that important but I found out the hard way that every game counts. 😁

It should really be 30 games for the people who only have time to tinker with their team once a day.

Either that, or allow you to set a lineup vs each team in the league at your park or theirs, with those taking priority when set.

We should request such improvements over and over! Giving us more control without having to check in every half hour is what this game needs the most, in my opinion.

PS Where's the "hate" in fun for your interloper this week that I got two weeks ago?!?!?!?

Breakers magic number is 6 - it's not over yet though.....

mcdog512 · 03-09-2019, 09:41 PM

What up Halos, how is your team doing this year?

No but I need to play better and finish strong and need some help. He has a very tough ending with 4 games against Bobs Burgers and three against the very tough Purgia team. He will have to earn it but If I keep choking it won’t matter. Lol. We need you to win a few more also. This is not a early night.

There are some cards that always have a important 1-4 game that if you were not watching or just checking the box score they would just be .250 hitters but in reality do so much more. Like not striking out with the bases loaded or getting that one hit to keep a rally going or hitting the ball to the right side to advance a runner. If I did not watch Cobb striking out at very important moments in the game or never advancing a runner in a important part of the game I would think he was one of my star players because of his SB (When I don’t need it) or going 4-5 to build his average but not helping the team win in very close games. It is funny how some of these cards have patterns like real players do. Some are very disappointing like my hero Mays was for me and some are very surprising like my Smith card which does the little things to help win games while my Seymour (Mr clutch when needed) will be the hero but without Smith to set it up by advancing runners or getting that 9th inning Hit Seymour would have never had the chance. It does get quite interesting at times. I sometimes forget they are just cards. (Or are they?)😨

One of my baseball games had a clutch ratings for batters that do well with runners in scoring position. This game is not measuring that. Just ratings vs ratings.

Beta starts when the pre-orders are made available on Monday the 18th. Can't purchase PP at that time. Everything is reset and PT begins in earnest with entry pool play on the 22nd when OOTP is officially released.
