Always A Tiger.

[mfbmike]

158 games to go... lolz

rofl, baseball seasons are so long.

Damn, Tigers do suck.

:irked:

just read all 8 pages..this is great...you always make great franchise..turn the tigers around just like you did with the pacers.

Thanks. I'm hoping I can. I'm leaving runners in scoring position way too much. At least I struck out less last game and actually manage to get 2 base on balls. There is at least SOME improvement there.

Me and Mike suck. We are combined 0-6 agaisnt Toronto

roffle. It's funny because we were like "let's see which has the better team." Now it's more like which one of us will be worse.

I'm hoping I can get into the win column against the Rangers. I heard their pitching kinda sucks and they are 0-3 as well.

Yea, their pitching is crap. You should be able to get on the board against them. Just watch out for Josh Hamilton. Make him chase balls, and if he doesn't just walk him. You can live with walking Hamilton, just don't throw him any clean strikes over the plate or he'll go yard.

Oh, isn't that the sonofabitch from the home run derby?

By the way, I changed up the layout a bit. Bolded the RUNS column and presented the HR, R, RBI etc type shit separate from the lineup so it looks less cluttered imo and easier to read imo.

Yeah that's him. It sucks they don't have his tattoos in the game either. Do they have Zumaya's tats?

And just a suggestion, you should change your team color to orange. You know how your using blue for like your players and the box score, I'd go orange. There's a lot of teams that use blue, not a lot who use orange, so it'd be easier.

 

[The Messenger]

damn it, no tats.

That's what I thought. Haven't seen a baseball game with tats yet. I don't know why they just don't add it. Josh Hamilton's tats are real cool, and Zumaya's are nice too.

 

[chazmaniandevil]

you still gotta be careful with rangers, powerful team all around

 

[mfbmike]

Yeah, I was disappointed when Zumaya came out with long sleeves on and no tats. lol oh well.

Update coming up. Dontelle Willis kinda FTW

Zach Miner earned his 1st victory of the season working 2 and a third innings and striking out 4 in relief of starter Dontrelle Willis. Leading the way offensively was Gary Sheffield, who drilled a solo home run in the the 4th and went 2-4 in the game. Gerald Laird's RBI single in the 7th put the Tigers out in front to help them net the win. In the contest, Placid Polanco was able to stroke career hit number 1500. The series resumes tomorrow afternoon, with Justin Verlander (0-1, 2.57 ERA) scaling the mound for the Tigers to face off with Matt Harrison (0-0, 0.00) for the Rangers.

Good win man!

Nice chise, who all did you have to sign to teams in free agency?

I'd like to start, but not with the current roster, it blows.

 

[LC AAU]

It's says you won.

 

[chazmaniandevil]

nice win, looks like your being more paitent

I just connected to the online and got the latest roster. Obviously Manny and a couple of other big names aren't on the teams they should be at this point. :/

nice win. Im still looking for sheffs 500th, So Willis was alright for you?

He was decent. Had some command issues. Hit 2 of the Rangers with pitches walking them which made me give up a run.haha. He got tired fast because of that lack of control and I got deep into a lot of counts and was up to 75/80 pitches by the 5th.

It's says you won.

Oh yeah. :happy:

just for the heads up, the boxscore says Toronto still

Fixed, thanks. Baseball updates are a pain in the ass compared to basketball lol.

nice win, looks like your being more paitent

That and I'm going against lesser skilled pitchers. This is the bottom of the Rangers rotation until game 3 when I go up against Millwood. I'm still leaving tons of runners stranded it feels like.

I got robbed on a run early in the game when Sheffield drove a line drive to CF and Polanco tried to get home from 2B but got tagged out.

 

[Rylo]

This is definitely my favorite chise. I kinda do not wanna start one just so I can follow this ha. Keep it up, man.

 

[mfbmike]

Wow dude, I'm flattered. Thanks a lot. I'm having a lot of fun with this so far.

 

[Primetime]

On Shef's home runs, were they line-drives like his home runs in reality or were they more of regular deep flyballs?

 

[mfbmike]

Hmm, I wanna say closer to line drive kinda. Both to left field as well. It seems like most of my hits are pulled to left actually with most of my batters being right handed.

 

[Yawkey Way]

there you go mike, nice win although would of liked to see a little more cushion.

its always good to learn how to win the close ones early though, nice work with D-Train too

 

[The Messenger]

Sucks you had to pull D-Train cause of his control. One more inning and he would've gotten the win.

 

[Primetime]

Only 2 runs on 13 hits. Looks like DET needs to manufacture some runs playing a little small ball.
