AMERICAN LEAGUE

DETROIT TIGERS 5 - WASHINGTON SENATORS 3 (first game)...Detroit maintained their one game margin over the Yankees as both of them divided doubleheaders...in game one at Griffith Schoolboy Rowe (6-4 3.86) weathered a bad three-run fifth inning by the fourth place Senators and won his sixth game...Harry Heilmann (.291) pounded out three hits and drove in two runs...Ty Cobb (.386) and Hank Greenberg (.357) unloaded fourbaggers...it was Greenberg's twelfth and Cobb's third...Washington's Bill Dailey took the loss, done in by faulty fielding as the Nats committed three miscues.

WASHINGTON SENATORS 3- DETROIT TIGERS 1 (second game)...Washington's Jim Perry (4-3 3.48) did a splendid job on Detroit to gain a split in the twinbill...he finessed his way to a fine four-hitter, walking none and fanning two...he also handled the bat as well as the baseball, doubled twice and batted in the decisive runs in the sixth...the Tigers' Harry Coveleskie (2-3 3.95) as the nightcap loser.

NEW YORK YANKEES 8 - ST. LOUIS BROWNS 6 (first game)...In New York, Red Rolfe (.262) was the main hero for the Yankees in the opener...he singled in Lou Gehrig (.298) with the winning run in the last of the eighth...then reliever Mariano Rivera (2-2 1.27) got his AL leading fifth save with a runless ninth...other New York stars were Joe Gordon (.262) with four rbis...he leads the club with 45 now...and Derek Jeter (.263) ripped his sixth into the leftfield stands in the sixth...that deadlocked it at 6-all...Baby Doll Jacobson (.307) topped the Browns with three hits and three rbis and Vern Stephens (.278) homered...Stu Miller's (1-1 4.09) wildness led to his downfall...he walked four in three innings.

ST. LOUIS BROWNS 7 - NEW YORK YANKEES 4 (second game)...fifth place St. Louis' Dick McNally seemed well on his way to a victory with a one-hitter and a 4-1 lead going into the eighth...but the Yanks got him for two runs on Bob Meusel's (.313) roundtripper and then tied it off Hoyt Wilhelm in the ninth...then the Browns came alive and slapped Mariano Rivera (2-3 2.15) around to the tune of three runs and a split in the doubleheader...George Sisler (.347) homered, Ken Williams (.268) and Eddie Murray (.238) doubled to account for another score...Wilhelm (6-3 2.98) was treated roughly, but picked up the win, with help from Jim Palmer, who got his first save...Babe Ruth (.296) homered in the first frame and tied Frank Thomas of the Chicago White Sox for the MLB home run lead with his fourteenth.

CHICAGO WHITE SOX 11 - CLEVELAND INDIANS 2 (first game)...At Municipal Stadium, Cleveland and Chicago shared a pair...the White Sox had a field day feasting on Cleveland's pitching corps...Chicago whacked out fourteen hits...Joe Jackson (.357) led the lambast with two hits, three rbis, including his third home run...Magglio Ordonez (.272) and Buck Weaver (.250) added two hits and two rbis each...Ed Walsh (6-4 3.00) waltzed to an easy win...Bob Lemon (3-7 5.06) lost it...and Hal Trosky (.310) belted his second homer for the Tribe.

CLEVELAND INDIANS 8 - CHICAGO WHITE SOX 7 (second game)...sixth place Cleveland got a split with third place Chicago due to excellent relief work by Ray Narleski and Addie Joss...Narleski (2-1 6.29) was credited with the victory ands Joss (4-6 3.81) nabbed his first save...Both hurled two scoreless innings after the Chisox had battered starter Early Wynn (4-5 4.13) for seven runs in less than five innings...Rocky Colavito (.234) plastered a three-run blast, Jim Thome (.212) a two-run shot and pinchhitter Flip Rosen (.208) crashed one into the stands to put the Indians ahead for good...Harold Baines (.277) slugged a two-run homer for the Sox and Joe Jackson (.362) smacked three hits...Gary Peters (0-4 4.38) had a very rough outing and suffered the loss.

BOSTON RED SOX 4 - PHILADELPHIA ATHLETICS 3 (first game)...the seventh place Athletics and last place Red Sox traded 4-3 decisions at Fenway...Boston managed only four hits off of the A's lefty Eddie Plank (5-6 3.14), but got them in a timely fashion to edge Philadelphia in the opening game of a doubleheader...in the ninth Frank Malzone (.217) doubled, moved to third on a groundout and came home with the game winner on a Dom DiMaggio (.264) single...starter Smokey Joe Wood (3-3 3.81) went a solid eight innings with six strikeouts and no walks for the Bosox...relief ace, Dick Radatz (4-1 1.75) was not at his best, but managed to pick up the victory in spite of giving up the tying run in the top of the ninth...Eric Chavez (.287) and Mickey Cochrane (.242) went deep for the Athletics.

PHILADELPHIA ATHLETICS 4 - BOSTON RED SOX 3 (second game)...in the second game, Philadelphia scored all of their runs in the fourth inning, highlighted by homers by Jose Canseco (.245) and Gene Tenace (.200)...it was Canseco's tenth...Lefty Grove (6-5 3.20) stopped the Red Sox on a three-hit complete game...Carl Mays (3-5 2.98) pitched well, but the longballs caused his demise.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

Pittsburgh pounded the Cincinnati Redlegs twice to move a game ahead of the New York Giants in the NL pennant chase...the Giants divided a pair with the lowly Dodgers.

PITTSBURGH PIRATES 10 - CINCINNATI REDS 4 (first game)...at Forbes Field in the first game of a twinbill the Pirates smacked out fifteen hits to overwhelm the Cincinnati Reds...a seven-run eighth easily wiped out a 4-3 deficit and gave them a come-from-behind victory...all of the regulars had at least one hit...Arky Vaughan (.318) homered and had two other hits...Lloyd Waner (.333) , brother Paul Waner (.294), Pie Traynor (.371) and Roberto Clemente (.303) each marked up a pair of base knocks...Bucky Walters (3-7 4.66) took a one-run advantage into the eighth frame, but he and Clay Carroll were shelled by the Bucs batters...Deacon Phillippe (6-4 2.48) chunked seven for Pittsburgh with Babe Adams (5-6 3.74) doing the honors for the last two...Adams notched the win.

PITTSBURGH PIRATES 7 - CINCINNATI REDS 2 (second game)...Jose Rijo (0-2 4.74) of the Reds walked ten batters in just four innings as the Pirates literally walked away with their third staight win, a doubleheader sweep and back into undisputed possession of the top spot in the National League...Ray Kremer (7-1 2.08) went all nine innings to easily get the win...the wornout Cincy staff had no one to go to and had to stay with Rijo...Pie Traynor (.363) slapped in two runs, Lloyd Waner (.370) punched out two basehits and George "Boots" Grantham (.310) smoked his fourth homer...the Reds lost their third consecutive contest.

NEW YORK GIANTS 4 - BROOKLYN DODGERS 1 (first game)...at the Polo Grounds, the Giants' Gaylord Perry (4-4 2.52) was on top of his game in the opener against the next-to-last Dodgers...he restricted them to just five hits, fanning nine and issuing only one walk...Barry Bonds (.275) was a perfect 3-3 and an rbi for New York...Don Drysdale (1-7 4.25) only surrendered two earned runs and did well in defeat...Brooklyn's Gil Hodges (.271) tripled twice...a MLB record...but was left standing at third both times.

BROOKLYN DODGERS 7 - NEW YORK GIANTS 4 (second game: ten innings)...in game two, it was a test of ace relievers and Brooklyn's Ron Perranoski (6-2 1.82) conquered New York's Robb Nen (4-3 3.06)...Perranoski held the Giants scoreless in the ninth and tenth frames to best Nen, who was pulverized for three runs and four hits in his only inning...the Dodgers tied it up 4-4 in the ninth and then won it in the tenth...offensively Zach Wheat (.319) and Gil Hodges (.279) did the most damage with three hits apiece...Hodges uncorked his twelfth circuit clout and is tied with Cincy's Frank Robinson for the NL HR top spot...the Bums outhit New York sixteen to seven.

PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES 6 - BOSTON BRAVES 2 (first game)...In Boston at County Stadium all Philly starters got hits except for winning pitcher Steve Carlton (2-8 5.09)...he did his job on the mound and they did their job with the bats...Carlton whiffed ten Braves and restricted them to only five hits...only Wally Berger (.279) and Eddie Mathews (.264) did any damage...Berger with his sixth fourbagger and Mathews with a run batted in...Richie Ashburn (.317) and Bob Boone (.191) pasted three hits each for the Phils, which included Boone first roundtripper this season...Boston's Johnny Sain (1-3 4.10) took most of the bashing.

PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES 5 - BOSTON BRAVES 4 (second game)...Philadelphia surprised the third place Braves by beating them in both ends of the doubleheader and moving percentage points ahead of Cincinnati for fifth place in the standings...in the nightcap, Mike Schmidt (.231) was the star with an eighth inning blast off loser John Smoltz (3-5 4.66) that sealed it for the Phillies...it was his sixth this year...reliever Jack Baldschun (2-1 3.20) was used as a starter and again delivered the goods until he tired in the eighth, but he did get the win...Curt Shilling (2-6 4.46) got a hold and Jim Konstanty (3-4 3.58) flung a runless ninth for his fourth save.

CHICAGO CUBS 6 - ST. LOUIS CARDINALS 5 (first game)...in St. Louis at Sportsman's Park in game one of a twinbill, Cub Hack Wilson was the man of the hour...he crushed a 415-foot homer...#10 this year...to up Chicago's margin to 6-1...then in the seventh he saved the day by throwing out Country Slaughter (.338) trying to tie the score from second on a single...winner Ed Reulbach (4-6 3.91) persevered until he needed help from Bruce Sutter (0-2 2.73) in the ninth to clinch the contest...it was Sutter first save...Frankie Frisch (.315) was 3-4 and scored three times for the Redbirds...John Tudor (4-2 2.79) had a tough time with the Chicubs and was dealt the defeat.

ST. LOUIS CARDINALS 6 - CHICAGO CUBS 1 (second game)...the fourth place Cards Dizzy Dean (3-6 4.05) has had a mediocre season so far, but he had his good stuff today and responded with a pretty fair performance to help them divide the twinbill with the last place Cubs...he scattered eight hits and held the Cubs at bay in a complete game triumph...Dean (.222) even contributed a two-run single for the Redbird cause...Chicago's Hippo Vaughn (4-2 3.28) had a dismal day and was charged with the loss, being rapped for thirteen of the fifteen-hit total by St. Louis...the Cards Chick Hafey (.305) tagged three hits and two rbis and two runs scored, including the only roundtripper in the game, his fifth of the year and Rogers Hornsby (.297) hammered out four hits.

I would appreciate any feedback about the format of this Dynasty thread.

Mainly do you have any suggestions for improvements?

Also let me know if you use the website for this league.

Your comments both pro and con are appreciated.

Thanks for viewing.

Thanks for viewing.

You know how I feel EC. I think the write ups, while not as detailed as they once were, give a great overview of the games played. You give everything we need to know.

I do go to your website, pretty much every couple updates on this site, and that supplements the overviews very nicely.

The only thing I think would be helpful to those who do not use the website is posting the standings. You mention were a club is during the write ups, but something visual, showing GB could be useful.

But I'm a fan, and I like what you do right now. Heck, I'd like you to go back to the even more detailed write ups, but I can understand how that is drain on your time.

seth70liz76, thanks for your comments and your support.

To do the detailed writeups simply takes too much time and would burn me out quickly...I would never get to play any games...my idea now is just to give the basics about a game in a very short concise recap...and this takes a while to do...for those that want greater detail they can go to the website and access the boxscores and look at the game log.

As far as posting standings, I am a computer dunce. If someone will tell me step-by-step how to post the standings, I will try to do it.

Question: Is it hard to access the website? Is that why you want detailed writeups?

I have highspeed internet and a fine computer and it is no trouble for me to use the website.

Does the quality of the computer make a difference?

Does phone hookup for the internet make a difference?

I am not happy with the progress of the website...the web designer has been very slow to complete it. It was begun in December and is only about 20% done. Soon and very soon, I will ask them to complete it or I will try to get another web designer.

If anyone knows a professional web designer, who can complete it in a reasonable amount of time, please let me know their name and address.

[Eugene Church]

The league is rapidly reaching the halfway point of the first season. At mid-season I am going to add one Negro League star to each team. I will conduct a draft with the lower ranked teams picking first. A team's record will determine its draft position. Player selection will be based on the needs of each team...although it would be hard to pass up a Superstar at a position, even if you already had one at that position.

I did not want to want to include the great Negro stars after 10 or 15 years. I wanted them to compete at the same time as Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx and Ty Cobb. I will hold another draft at the beginning of the next season and draft one more Negro star for each team. Thus, 32 Negro stars will be added each season.

After the Negro stars are included, then I will add the Japanese stars and the Alltime Minor League greats.

Finally I will add the Expansion Team greats to the original 16 franchises.

[seth70liz76]

As far as posting standings, I am a computer dunce. If someone will tell me step-by-step how to post the standings, I will try to do it.

This is how I do it:
In League New section click Standings Report
Hold right mouse button down and 'mark' the standings
Ctl-C to copy
open Notepad
Ctl-V to paste
fix alignment so columns line up
copy and paste into 'reply to thread' window puting [ code] [ /code] around the text
and your standings are posted.

Question: Is it hard to access the website? Is that why you want detailed writeups?

It's not hard at all. I have dial-up and use firefox so things are pretty slow if I open up mulitple windows (which I usually do when I'm doing OOTP/Baseball stuff). I just loved the 'extra' flavor the detailed write up had. But having said that, I understand the reason for the shorter ones--and they give, as you said, everything we need to know.

This has long been one of my favorites EC, I view the website as a place to 'supplement' my information. Like, if I want to know how Johnny Kling or the Reds staff as a whole has been doing. I for one apprecitate the extra time you've put in to make a site for your league.

[Eugene Church]

seth, thanks for the detailed steps to post the standings. I'll give it a try.

Thanks for your comments about this thread, too. They are helpful and appreciated.

[Eugene Church]

I just can't believe I just about finished another day's recap of all the games...and it got wiped out.

Kinda frustrating...if the Good Lord is willing and the creeks don't rise...I will attempt to type it again tomorrow.

Boy...am I a bad and slow typist...and even worse with computers.

Recap: The Pittsburgh Pirates put it on Lew Burdette and the Boston Braves early with 4 runs in the opening frame and Sam Leever hurled a sparkling 6-hitter and fanned 10...only Johnny Logan (.321) mastered him with a 4 for 4 day...6 Buccos cracked a pair of hits each.

ST. LOUIS 6 14 2 - NEW YORK 2 7 0
W: Gibson (8-3 3.22)
L: Antonelli (5-3 3.87)
HR: NY - Mays (9) Bonds (8) StL - Gibson (1)
Recap: The St. Louis Redbirds plastered Sportsman's Park with hits and torched the New York Giants and Johnny Antonelli for 14 base knocks and Bob Gibson spun a 7-hitter and struck out 8...he even hammered a 2-run homer...Chick Hafey (.305) pace the cards with 3 hits...4 others pasted 2 hits apiece...Willie Mays (.246) and Barry Bonds (.264) lashed homers for the Giants.

CINCINNATI 6 12 0 - BROOKLYN 5 7 1
W: Dibble (6-3 5.22)
L: Perranoski (8-4 2.40)
HR: Bro - Snider (7)
Recap: The Redlegs jumped ahead of the Dodgers 5-1 after seven innings and then had to fight for dear life as Brooklyn almost won another last inning thriller...this time the Comeback Kids didn't quite make it...it was Ernie Lombardi's (.264) one-out ninth inning single off of Ron Perranoski that did the Dodgers in.

CHICAGO 7 12 2 - PHILADELPHIA 4 7 1
W: Warneke (2-4 3.72) Save: Sutter (2)(3.00)
L: Wise (5-4 4.57)

HR: Chi - Madlock (5)
Recap: At Veterans Stadium the visiting Cubs walloped a dozen hits and lashed the Phillies...both starters struggled with control...both Chicago's Lon Warneke and the Phils Rick Wise walked 5...but Warneke gave up 4 fewer hits and staggered to a win...Chicubs Ernie Banks (.250) and Bill Madlock (.286) combined for 4 rbis...the Phils needed 3 in the ninth to make it respectable...Bruce Sutter had to come in and get the last out...it was save #2 for him.

This is the best I could do to post the standings.
Sorry about the fouled up spacing...I aligned it all...and it still comes out this way.

To me, the simplest and best way to view the standings is to go the website...that is why I had the website created.
