MLB: Bayside Stories - an 09 San Francisco Giants Dynasty

[Mit]

Underachievers

1. SS Jose Reyes - New York Mets
Jose Reyes was supposed to be THE lead-off guy for the New York Mets. He has been anything but that. He has been absolutely terrible this season. He was supposed to hit about .275 in that powerful Mets lineup, but he's hitting about 100 points lower than that. This is pretty early in the season, so Reyes should be able to overcome this hitting dilemma and possibly catch fire later on in the season.
Statistics: .176 BA, 2 HR, 8 RBI, .253 OBP, .296 SLG %
Fantasy Stock:


2. SS Jimmy Rollins - Philadelphia Phillies
The 2006 NL MVP, Jimmy Rollins, has had as much as success as Jose Reyes of the New York Mets. Jimmy Rollins's batting average has dipped below .200 and he is striking out ever-so often. Rollins was supposed to be a homerun threat at the top of the order, but he has only hit 2 out of the park, which is a surprise.
Statistics: .195 BA, 2 HR, 11 RBI, 2 Errors
Fantasy Stock:


3. SP Jon Lester - Boston Red Sox
A year after winning 16 games, Jon Lester was supposed to be one of three aces on the Red Sox pitching staff. He has not been an ace this year. He has had trouble hitting his spots. He has given up 50 hits so far, along with 12 home runs in only 44 innings of work. A short stint in AAA could boost his confidence. I think that's what he needs. He's been hit around pretty hard this year.
Statistics: 2-6, 6.14 ERA, .294 Opp. BA, 1.36 WHIP, 10.23 H/9

is there anywhere to DL this game?

I highly doubt that any torrent site has it. Your best bet is ebay (for PC version), but that'll be pretty expensive.

Shit looks good as usual man.

Nice piece up there.

Thanks a lot man. Good to see that you are following. .

That hurts. Reyes' stock down

Haha. He hasn't been playing well at all. I wanna see if this terrible hitting continues for Reyes. If it does, I might try and get either him or Rollins. This is just a "maybe", though.

this shit looks nice. keep up the work Vikes

Thanks a lot, bro.

Good luck
They have Byrd too!!!!!

I know. I don't know why they signed him. Maybe because he's a vet? I dunno. They got Carrasco, Carpenter, Kendrick, and Moyer in the 'pen. Geez.

Worst chise of all time

Aight, bro. I'm sure your Ha Seung-Jin player chise is better than mine, you dumbass. I do suggest you exit this thread before this shit gets ugly.

[Mit]

ouch 17 hits given up. I love the MVP 05 franchises though.

I know. I got pretty frustrated that game. I thought I threw good pitches, but they were being hit. Let's see if I can recooperate for the rubber game.
