Please forgive all the miss spelled above and or other mistakes. I got up late and still have a few games to watch and a book to read so I really don’t have the time to go and edit it all so just take my sorry. It is so much quicker. Everyone have a Wonderful Saturday.

Damn, I needed to sweep you to get us even going into the month of September but losing the first game killed that. I won the second and now the third is very very important. We play each other counting the 10am game 4 times this month. The bad news is three of them are at your house but the good news is you play better on the road. Your Keuchel held me in check the whole game. He always gives my team a hard time and we have to face him three times in the next seven games. I have not figured out a lineup yet that works against this guy. He owns me and the trouble is EVERyBODY has him. You even tried to help us out by making two errors but we still could not capitalize on it. The next game was wonderful because I had to have it and I scored five in the first inning to help it along. I did not score again but Gooden and Kershaw did their job and held you down to two runs. I am three back in the loss column so that first game hurt us badly because you hardly lose three games in a month. Lol. It also looks like one of us will be the wild card and we have the two best records in our conference if this holds up so the wild card position is screwed. Not only would I have to win the WC game(If I am a wild card) but would then have to go to your place with a out of shape rotation to deal with. I do not want to have to go through all of that so I am telling the guys let’s have a Wonderful September and just win The Division to make the Playoff run a little easier on ourself. Let’s hope they listen. I would wish you the best of luck my friend but let’s face it. (I would not really mean it and I respect you two much to lie.) so here we go again. We have done this a few times before so we are use to it when we end up in the same Division. I have to now go to my next routine and that is reading for the next hour and then will watch us play our third game and then try to figure out how to beat the Keuchel coming up in the next week. Hope you have a great day, Just not a winning one. Now that I have also added a jinx to my day it is time to read a little.😁

Zorros are slumping but so is Medici which means NC Central battle is not over yet. Perugia whittling down that magic number in the AC Central.

I think it's funny that even though I'm having my worst season ever, (barely above .500 and 4.5 games behind 2nd wildcard), I already have my 2nd best PP season in Perfect without even making the playoffs and 24 games to play. 2 gold achievements and 11 silvers will do that.

Right on! What is your most interesting/favorite card? I don't see many of those oldies around. That is really cool.

I'm most looking forward to the Negro league cards. The devs posted a few months ago that the Negro leagues would be included in PT20. I haven't heard anything since, and not sure when they'll be added or if they'll be tournament reward cards... But there's something extra exciting about getting the chance to add some of the greats (Josh Gibson, "Cool Papa" Bell, "Smokey Joe" Williams, etc) who were denied the chance to play in the majors to our own perfect teams. Also fun to see how their ratings would grade out.

Zorro · 03-09-2019, 01:00 PM

It looks like the Breakers or Rocky Point does not want the Division and Bobs Burgers do. If this keeps up Bobs Burger will win the Division while The Breakers and The Zorros will just be fighting for a Wild card birth. Lol. 😱

No kidding... I don't know how I still have a lead after playing <.500 ball the last quarter of the season. It seems like we've been here before...

Yes, I agree. Josh Gibson’s card could make Ruth’s card look like a Felix Mantilla card.😁

Was Gibson the black Babe Ruth or was Ruth the white Josh Gibson?

Yes and you can’t catch me down here because I am losing also. Lol. Bobs Burger just swept me in a slaughter series. I am 3-7 in September and that is usually my best Month. I don’t even deserve a Wild Card spot the way we are playing let alone a Division title. I don’t want to back into a spot. I would rather lose it then to win it like that. We are both 3-7 in September while Bobs Burgers are 7-3. One good thing is we play each other 3 more time so one of us will have more then 3 wins this month month.😉

1888 George "Doggie" Miller just because it's so old. 1933 Leo the Lip Durocher and maybe 1953 Satchel Paige with 1953 Jackie Robinson not too far behind.

Lol. I would have to give it to Gibson because he was a catcher. 😉 Babe might have pitched but I can’t imagine how hard it is to catch every game and still hit like he did. It is a shame we will never know. I think it proved how much better the black players were when in th 60s the NL controlled the All Star game because of the lack of black players in the AL. I mean Mays, F.Robinson, Banks, Aaron, just to name a few. What did the AL have? Elston Howard? Lol...

You forgot Daddy Wags....well, for one year. That is true though, and I never thought about that before.

I guess maybe Tony Oliva by the mid 60s. Outstanding player. Honestly, the list is really short and the national league had fantastic players like the guys you mentioned plus Clemente, Lou Brock, Willie Mays....Cepdea, McCovey, the list goes on and on...

You know what else is kind of scary? There was a time when I would have screamed and yelled and gone a little crazy if this happened but I think I am starting to lose a little passion for this game because it is like I just don’t care that much anymore. It is a little sad (For me) But I have lost some of that Fire I use to have . Maybe because we have no breaks and I have made the playoffs every season so I have never really had a day off since we started but something is missing inside me. I would have never had a streak like this happen in a important part of season (Or any part for that matter) and not really cared that much. It is like I am watching someone else’s team . It is kind of sad because it use to be such a big thing to me.Maybe I took it to seriously and put to much into it to fast. But something is lackin and it ain’t just my team. 🤷*♂️

Is this OOTP20 or Perfect Team?

Yes, Like you said the list goes on and on for the NL back then and what a wonderful list it was. It was a wonderful time to be a kid and a baseball fan. (Yes Olivia was definitely top shelf.)

Perfect team 20 I think they said they were redoing a lot of legends and bringing in a lot of Negro League cards.
