My rotation is made up of 3-4 lefties for a few seasons now, which was just an accident I didn't mind. I tried to put pitching out there that could very well hold up vs. lefties & righties. P.S. I'm fascinated with human diversity, and am myself a righty tighty 99% of the time, so sometimes I'll think " I love the way that left-handed batter or pitcher does that.", (which is why I imitate them 1% of the time with mild success.)

Helped both of us to our first PL Championships.
(Tripled in game 3 of a 1-0 game in my 1st series victory & used him as my regular 1B that season.) Picked up Olerud's Mets card which won MVP his first season...in between that series & our series. I am using both of them this season. ...Olerud can hit.

Mirroring real life, Arky's PT value is incredibly underrated. I've been embarrassingly proud to have Arky be a huge part of my PT 1.0 and 2.0 teams (and I can't imagine he won't eventually be a member of Red Raiders PT3.0!). Whenever a long-time PT Red Raider is replaced, I hold on to the card for a while but eventually break down and sell it...except for Arky. He will forever occupy a spot on my reserve roster. Quote:
Obviously, Norm Cash is better than Wade Boggs! THIS HAS BEEN A (MANUFACTURED) RIVALRY ALERT Quote:

thanks for the arky link! i was not familiar with his story, and that was a fascinating read. maybe the coolest thing about this game is how it's a direct link to so many great stories and so much history.
jackie robinson's biography was my favorite book for a significant portion of grade school, and the thought of being able to slot him into my dream team is probably what convinced me to become a paying player of this game. of course, he's now on my reserve roster as ripken is a better fit in my platoon scheme. :cringe: Quote:
p.s. boggs would wipe the floor with norm. go zags! agreed, and not just because it looks like you're pulling away with it... |

Respect the Old, Embrace the New
Direwolves sense blood, owner OK's investment to get coveted RF Cody B. GM Basil D lets the fans know "We're all in for the Division Win."

Final update before the Warbirds owner set the team to autopilot (2 weeks) while they sun themselves.
Warbirds are in P401 this week. There have been some teams that have been in the same league now for 3 straight weeks. I am sure the Green Lake Cowboys have seen enough of the Warbirds as it has not gone good for them. Other notables: Glendale Golden Grizzlies (9PL), Cross town Rivals (4PL), Grove City Grannies who are in the same division (4PL), and 4 single PL champions. Off to a great Start...the Warbirds boast a 83-20 record. The POST AS record the last 4 seasons has been staggering so if that trend continues we could be looking at special regular season. Here's hoping old AI Manager keeps the Warbirds on course.

And what happened was we finished with about 5 less regular season wins but made the PL series for the first time... It did give the lineup a nice balance vs. any pitcher even though they were all gold level cards mostly with 2 or 3 exceptions maybe...a bronze at first base, Rose a low diamond in the outfield & Mantle 97 in center...I believe the other 6 were all gold. We stole a ton of bases. I noted that unless it was a coincidence, switch-hitters tend to be better base-stealers than Rs & Ls. Lower runs (but not by much), Higher batting average. And that was my introduction to the Chipper Jones 88 card because I wanted to complete the lineup with all 9 switch-hitters & maybe be competitive...He was very solid...his ratings are at least above average, all of them.

...4.5 games. I think the 6 remaining Red Raiders-Bulldogs h2h matchups may very well end up deciding this, and considering Gonzaga is now 9-4 vs Huntley, that doesn't bode well for the Red Raiders...

Angel Fire has pulled away as expected. I thought we were the favorites to win it all when I saw the League, zero whales to be seen, but my division has some good teams. Astro Plane started red hot and the Dertroit theme team has some great cards like Perfect Cash, Perfect Cobb, and 99 Hal. 13 games left vs AP so it's not in the bag yet.
