It is just me or did all my caption lettering grow in size? It used to be size 1, but now it's the default font size.

I noticed I have trouble making fonts smaller, and some of my old dynasty captions sizes seem to have changed as well.

Cardinals sign Morgan, Mike Morgan

After a solid 10-9 season with an ERA at about 3.60, Morgan would be worth something about what? 6 million a year, give or take some? Well, Morgan's agent found 13 million dollars for him, the former Padre becomes the Cardinals new #1 pitcher and will look to help the Cardinals, reigning world champs, win another World Series.
Morgan, could be a lot better if he hid his pitches better, instead of showing them to everyone in the stadium.

Texas Broke, forced to draft Whiten

If one good thing came out of having the worst record in the Major Leagues last year, it was having the first overall pick in the amateur draft, well its all for naught if you ain't got no money, and Texas a'int got any. Whiten does have the potential to be a .260 25HR guy in the future, but he isn't going to be as good as #2 pick Frank Thomas.
Whiten has perfected the "Bunt like a ******" stance

Indians land future star

Blessed with a moneyless Texas team in front of them, the Indians had big Frank Thomas fall into their laps, not literally of course. Thomas has the eye, the power, the ability to hit for average, and the spee-, never mind. He's going to be good though.
Now that's what I call an ass!

Pirates loot a good one

Harold Baines signed on with the Pittsburgh Pirates, to try to bring the city of Pittsburgh a World Series championship. He had a great year last year with the Red Sox, hitting .323 33HR 100RBI's. But they are the Pirates, so nobody's getting their hope up.

Darryl would have had the perfect month if it were not for his low homer total, 4. He hit .307 and knocked in 18 runs, and is now rated a 5* player.

"Well, ghost...I guess I'm a complete player know, huh?"

"NO... 4 homeruns this month, pathetic, you'll never catch 500, how do you expect to get to the hall if you can't reach 500?"

"I could maybe get 3000 hits..."

"Blasphemy! No way, it's 500 or broke for you Darryl, you better get started on it."

Now you KNOW its a alternate universe

Jamie Navarro is having an outstanding year so far in 1990. After an up and down season last year with the Giants where he had an E.R.A. of 4.99, the Giant starter so far is at 3-0 with a 2.16 ERA.
Nobody there wants your autograph Jamie, nobody

[Tauro]

I love the Frank Thomas quote.. Beautiful.

I think you should start a manager career with Darryl afterwards... He'll be great at making "Line"ups.

[hayesb26]

Think we could get a career 'line' update once in a while? thanks.

Check post # 99 they are right there. Thanks for the input guys!

[Jack4Jack]

great read so far! Keep it up!

[BadluckinOOTP]

Darryl looks to be on his way to the Hall of Fame, baring injuries, with yet another supberb month of .283 and 7 homers, it looks like nothing is going to get in his way, except for himself, and the ghost's verbal abuse.


"Well, ghost I guess I can just put it on cruise control the rest of the way to the Hall of Fame, huh?"

"Shut up Darryl! There's no way you'll make it to 500, you are way to full of yourself, when you finally have to start working for it when you are older, you'll fai!"

"Yeah, well at least I'm alive!"

I'm sorry for that horrible exchange of dialouge between the ghost and Darryl, my creative juices just aren't flowing today, too much turkey I guess...

Triple Crown Contender?

Rafael Palmerio, Milwaukee Brewer slugging first baseman, is leading the American League in AVG. HR's and is 2 RBI's behind teammate Juan Samuel. Does he have a chance? No, but I can write about it can't I?
Well, at least Rafael hasn't gotten a big head about it all...








Once again, I'm sorry for such a bad joke, this is probably my worst one since the beginning

[BadluckinOOTP]

Darryl had a tough time of it in June, with a poor average of .244 and subpar homer numbers of 3, he's going to have to pick it up to meet his stats from last year.


"Man, Darryl you are playing so bad I'm embarrassed to be around you"

"But nobody can see you but me..."

"That's how bad you're playing"

League Notes:
A chance for .400?

Tony Gwynn, Phillies righfielder is off to a torrid pace so far in 1990, with a .423 average through July 1st he has a good as chance as anybody since Teddy Ballgame did it in '41.
"Heard you got to firstbase tonight, way to go!"

[BadluckinOOTP]

Darryl's numbers have went down each month this year, they have hit another low this July, with a .232 average and 6 homers it was the kind of month that Darryl used to have when he was with the Blue Jays.

"Darryl these kind of months, when you suck, is what I live for, well not live but, exist for"

"I still got 20 homers man, don't worry, be happy"

"That song sucked the first time around, don't make it worse the second time"

League Notes:
Closing in on being the HR leader?

Glenn Davis, San Diego Padre 1st baseman is having a career year, with 27 homeruns through August 1st. Recently traded from the White Sox to the Padres, Davis is making the most of his chance after being a bench player for the White Sox last year. He's in 1st place in the NL with 27 homers, 5 ahead of Jack Clark, San Francisco Giants 1st baseman.
Davis, here looking at the hot chick in the 3rd row is not only holding right hand without a bat, but is also about to get in the stomach by a BP fastball

[jsig]

this is priceless, thought i'd share-

from espn.com

"I guess I didn't realize how fast I was living until
one night at a party, when Keith Richards says to me,
'You've got chill out, Darryl old bloke. You're gonna
die young, mate.' When Keith Richards tells you that
you're partying too much, it's kind of like the pope
telling you that you've dedicated too much of your
life to God."

[BadluckinOOTP]

That is a great quote!

[BadluckinOOTP]

Darryl is having the worst slump of his career. With a .196 average and only 3 homers in August, Darryl is having a real tough go at it this year. He now only has 23 homers on the year, and his average has fallen down to a sub-par .252.


"Hey Darryl, I could hit better than you right now, and I can't even hold a bat!"

"Man, shut up, I'll get it back together."

"Whatever, you suck, I'm going to go look at some naked chicks in the shower"

League Notes:
Jeff Robinson, best in baseball?

Jeff Robinson, New York Met and 2-time all-star starting pitcher is having the best year of an already splendid career. With 11 wins and a 1.94 ERA, he has a shot at the Cy Young, the only thing holding this 29 year old ace back is his lack of run support, he has 9 losses.
As good as Robinson is, he still throws like a girl

[seth70liz76]

Is that Jeff R. or Jeff W.? I could never keep my J-Rob's straight.

[Dargone]

This thread is so good. I have tears coming out of my eyes reading some of it. Good work

[BadluckinOOTP]

Yikes, I don't know what Jeff Robinson it is, I didn't even know there were two! And thanks a lot Dargone, can't wait for this next version to come out

[BadluckinOOTP]

Darryl finished the year out on a semi-strong note, with a .299 average and 4 homers, he finishes up his lackluster with the lowest homer output since his rookie season with both Toronto and the Mets, 27.

"Hey, Darryl, nice month, really you came back and had a great month after struggling for a while"

"Thanks, ghost, I appr-"

"Gotcha! Oh, man you are such a loser! 27 homeruns? Lou Whitaker hit more than you!"

League Notes:
So close, yet so far

Alan Trammell, Oakland A's shortstop had a fantastic year with a .384 average, his late season surge included a .407 average in September/October, as Tony Gywnn fell of the vaunted .400 pace, Trammell made a late charge but couldn't quite make it. Not that Trammell's great year meant anything, Oakland sucked big time this year.
"So, have you told your wife about "us" yet?"

[BadluckinOOTP]

St. Louis didn't make the playoffs, but here are the results


New York Yankees (90-72) defeat the Minnesota Twins (97-65) 4-1

Pittsburgh Pirates (90-72) defeat the Houston Astros (94-68) 4-3

World Series

Pittsburgh Pirates (90-72) defeat the New York Yankees (90-72) 4-3


That's Pittsburgh, in case you didn't want to highlight the yellow letters.

League Notes:
Team full of nobody's win title

Pittsburgh won the World Series title with no proven stars. A solid pitching staff, and an unspectacular offense, but it all worked perfectly, you can't argue with results. Alvin Davis, Pirate home run leader with 27, shown below is an important part of the team.
In the offseason, Alvin Davis is a Steve Harvey look alike.
