MLB: Bayside Stories - an 09 San Francisco Giants Dynasty

[Mit]

Great win man! You owned Lincecum, lol.

I love how MVP just generates the box score. Definitely makes things easier, and it's real clean! Hope you keep this up man.

Lulz. I'm the Giants, but yeah I like how MVP has their box scores. It's real easy to read. Thanks for checking in.

Lol. Manny does look scary. I lol'd at "ManRoid". Remember, it was only a "sexual enhancement" supplement. Haha.

I took a page out of your book for presentation, Mike. Hopefully you don't mind. If you do, I can always change it.

Wolf Outduels The Big Unit To Down Giants

Manny Ramirez and co. celebrate here after their victory against the Giants.

San Francisco, CA - Randy Johnson is making his way to 300, but today was not his day. Today was about Randy Wolf. Wolf looked like an ace more than "The Big Unit" did. Wolf had 7 easy innings of work, as he only ran his pitch count to 52 pitches.

Orlando Hudson did damage in the game. The game was tied 1 to 1 in the 6th inning. Randy Johnson gave Hudson a fastball inside and Hudson drove it to the stands for a homer. That would eventually be the game-winner. In the 9th, Rich Aurilia had a chance, for the second straight game, to tie the game up. Aurilia flied out to end the game. Jonathan Broxton picked up his first save of the season and the Dodgers are riding a modest two-game winning streak.

Cain Pitches Well In First Giants Win Of Season

Manny Ramirez grounds out to end the game; the Giants finally picked up their first win.

San Francisco, CA - Matt Cain was on absolute fire in this game. He led the San Francisco Giants to their first victory on the 2009 season. Cain didn't just pitch well, but he was also 1 for 3 from the plate with an RBI single. The other pitcher on the mound was Hiroki Kuroda, who didn't pitch too bad himself. He allowed 3 runs in 6 innings. All 3 of the runs that Kuroda allowed came in the 5th inning. Travis Ishikawa singled home Aaron Rowand. Emmanuel Burriss tripled home Travis Ishikawa; Matt Cain singled home Emmanuel Burriss.

Cain shut the Dodgers down. He pitched 8 innings of shutout baseball, while only giving up 4 hits and striking out 6. Brian Wilson came in the game and had a 1-2-3 inning and got the save.

Matt Cain commented on his performance after the game, "I felt great on the mound. I was having a lot of fun and because of that, I pitched well. I'm glad we finally picked up our first one. Tim struggled in his first start and Randy had no offense. I want to say that our offense does need to pick it up. We have only scored 8 runs in 3 games. That's not that great. If we want to win games, our batting must back up our pitching".

Ah man you're making me miss my MVP 2005....sick chise man, if I had a way to get rosters for the PS2 version, I'd be all over that game....Owner mode still to this day has not been equaled in any sports title.....I love The Show, but EA quite possibly made the best baseball ever with this joint...anyways I'll be following good luck

Thanks a lot man. Personally, I think MVP was the greatest baseball game ever made. It doesn't have in-depth gameplay like The Show does, but you can mod almost anything on MVP Baseball. It's pretty ridiculous and that's why I like it. You can keep rosters, uniforms, etc. up to date year after year without buying a brand new baseball game.

the game

Oh. Haha. It's on PC and my graphics card isn't that great, so it looks pretty bad. Hopefully you are still following, though.

 

[Mit]

lol for sure man graphics are the least important point

That's good. You probably won't be disappointed by the time the season's done.

 

[DJ Rhude]

Not to get totally off topic in your chise, but do you by chance know anywhere I could get rosters for the PS2? or is the game just not supported anymore?

Almost makes me want to break down and get the PC version

You could try www.mvpmods.com. I don't have it for PS2, but I think they made rosters. Not sure how to put them on, though.

 

[Woy]

Still sick Vikes, love your layout.

 

[Mit]

I say you win 2 out of 3. Good luck!

Lol. You might wanna change that after I post the first game. It was horrible. Jonathan Sanchez looked like an ace, but things went awry.

Still sick Vikes, love your layout.

Thanks a lot, man. Good to see that you are checking in on your chise. I swear, though, your Cardinals chise is really something. I don't post much in there, but I absolutely love the setup. It's really simple, yet it has a lot of details.

 

[mfbmike]

haha, what is about MVP 2005 that makes the franchise mode so good? I've heard so many people ranting and raving about it.

Oh, and I don't mind about the layout. Thought it looked kinda familar though.

 

[Mit]

haha, what is about MVP 2005 that makes the franchise mode so good? I've heard so many people ranting and raving about it.

Man. You don't even know. You can do so much to the game. The franchise mode is above-average, but you can make it pretty realistic. Like there's this site called www.mvpmods.com, where you can download rosters, uniforms, different overlays, and all that. It really enhances the playing experience. That's probably why people rant about it. You should take a look at how much MVP Baseball 2005 on PC goes for on ebay. It was a $30 game, but it is worth about two to three times that now. As for the layout, I can always change it up. I usually try not to be too consistent with the layouts because it can get boring. You gotta have that "pop" sometimes in your presentation, so it will catch the audience's eye.

Brewers Hitters Take Care of Sanchez and Giants

Braden Looper celebrates after getting the complete game.

Milwaukee, WI - It was another dismal game for the San Francisco Giants. The Giants played their division rivals, the Dodgers, in the first series of the year. In that series, they lost two out of three games. The Giants did not start well against the Brewers. They lost a pretty bad game, 8 to 1.

Braden Looper pitched phenomenally for the Brewers. He went the distance, while only giving up 1 run on 7 hits. Jonathan Sanchez started off pretty well in the first two innings. He met trouble in the 3rd inning. Rickie Weeks singled. Then, Sanchez hung a curveball and Ryan Braun took advantage of that and hit it into the stands. That made the game 2 to 0. Prince Fielder took the plate and blasted an inside fastball to the right-field stands. That made the game 3 to 0 and the Brewers never looked back, as they added 1 more run in the 4th and 2 more each in the 6th and 7th innings.

Braden Looper commented on his performance, as he was named Player of the Game. "I was hitting the strikezone in this start. I was keeping the hitters off-balance and somehow, I was able to go the distance. This Giants team isn't a good one, offensively, so I took advantage of that."

Giants Pitching
Jonathan Sanchez (L, 0-1) - 6.0 IP | 12 H | 6 ER | 6 K | 9.00 ERA

LOL at loopers face in the game. tough loss

I'm trying with them screenshots. Lol. It was a tough loss, though. I'm getting real frustrated with our lack of offense. If this keeps up, I might have to take drastic measures.
