sorry about the wait, i've desperately been trying to complete success mode (just one hit for my guy would do it, can't get it, i'm on the last game)
i'll post more in a few minutes hopefully.

okay, sorry again.
Here we go again (on my owwwwn):
Our second game finally came, and it was a big one.
We won again, but this time it was 13-2.

Highlights:
Bottom of the 1st, 2 outs, Ryan Braun hits a 3 run home run OVER THE GREEN MONSTER. 3-0.
Mere seconds later, Garrett Atkins hits a shot to straightaway centerfield for back-to-back home runs. 4-0.
Next inning, 1 out, James Loney hits a 2 run home run to centerfield also. 6-0.
3rd inning: Back-to-back home runs, by garrett atkins (his 2nd of the game in 2 at bats) and by brendan harris, our DH, with no outs. By this time, the opposing pitcher is out, and Hendrickson has taken the mound. He obviously didn't fare much better.
Quiet but big 5th inning, with 4 runs scored, 12-0!
Top of the 6th, a little trouble (we give up 2 runs), but it could've been more if not for an incredible diving catch by Brandon Carter, the right fielder.
The game finally ends, score 13-2. Felix Hernandez has pitched a complete game 6 hitter, and Atkins had 2 HRs.

We're 2-0, and it seems to be getting better.

Our strengths are definitely our rotation and outfield, but it might get better: We've requested a trade for Mariano Rivera. We can afford him, and he's a much better closer than Eddie Guardado.

Bonus points if you got that Whitesnake reference at the start!

That is DOMINANT.

Early prediction: Ryan Braun wins MVP with a 40-40 season.

DrMario · **Posted:** Fri Sep 12, 2008 6:54 pm

Hmmm, I could see that.

Are you sure about Mariano?
There are other great closers that are cheaper......
And younger...

I completely second that.

I'll try K-Rod, but if that doesn't work, I wasted 2 days trying to get a closer.

Sparkplug15 · **Posted:** Fri Sep 12, 2008 7:27 pm

I don't know if you wasted the days.....
You were just exploring the market...

By the way..a suggestion would be to go into trade and search for (closer) under the age of (ex.27) and look who is the best "bet"..........

stevenjackson39 · **Posted:** Fri Sep 12, 2008 7:33 pm

K-Rod is always the best bet.

Sparkplug15 · **Posted:** Fri Sep 12, 2008 7:40 pm

True, (57+ saves speaks for itself)
But there are others...
See if can get K-rod...and go from there....

stevenjackson39 · **Posted:** Fri Sep 12, 2008 7:41 pm

getting on right now...

stevenjackson39 · **Posted:** Fri Sep 12, 2008 7:46 pm

sorry, i forgot i traded for takashi saito.
he may be 36, but he's only 2000 in salary, and he is awesome with his breaking balls.

Sparkplug15 · **Posted:** Fri Sep 12, 2008 7:49 pm

Hmmm Saito......not bad....

So now what is you "weakest" part of your team.....rather it be a position or bullpen.......
