All right, sorry about the delay...

I am now in the postseason, I'll recap everything that went down:

First, Orlando Hudson, Will De Los Santos and Joe Thatcher were traded for an edited Pablo Sandoval, a rookie named French (EDDFD) and 2345 points. Not a bad trade, really just to clear space...

Then, Armando Galarraga, Jorge Cantu and, surprisingly, Jonathan Papelbon, along with points, were traded for Aaron Harang, Joakim Soria (edited) and Emanuel Burress (edited).

Dan Haren, Jose Reyes (acquired in a trade along with Chad Billingsley and Johnathan Broxton) and Mike Fontenot were sent away for Josh Beckett, Orlando Hudson (again) and Maicer Izturis, along with points.

Then, 1 day before the deadline, Harang, Broxton and Brian McCann were sent packing, bringing in Jake Peavy, Aaron Heilman, Joe Mauer and points.

The Giants, partly thanks to a (simmed, not played) 15 game win streak, clinched the division with exactly a month left in the season, and finished with 115 wins.

Albert Pujols won the Triple Crown with 51 HRs, .401 BA and 223 RBIs, along with 20 SB's.
Andre Rodriguez finished 21-2 with 268 K's (tied with CC Sabathia for the league lead) and a 1.75 ERA. He is expected to win the Cy Young award and Rookie of the Year, while Pujols should win the MVP.

Edit:
One other trade:
I get Amborix Burgos and Hanley back, the BoSox get Ryan Sweeney, Orlando Hudson and Kevin Correia.

Ya I will. But don't rush the playoffs as in simulate 2 or 3 games and give updates every few innings. It's good to have a log going right now, mine died :?

Incredibly, the Pirates took the first two games of the NLDS, and all hope seemed lost.
However, the Giants went on to allow 2 runs in the next three games, the last two at PNC Park, as they advance to face the Marlins, who took only 4 games to beat the Cards, in the NLCS.

In other news, the Tigers held off a charge by the Mariners to win in five, and the Rays came from a 2-0 hole to beat the Indians and move on.

The Giants and the Rays beat the Marlins and Tigers in 5 games, respectively, to meet in the series.

Rays pitching:
8.5/10
Rotation, with Duscherer, Rogers and Greinke is great, the bullpen is acceptable.

Infield:
7.5/10
Pedroia and Morneau are great, and Paulino and Mora are good.
Alex Cora is NOT a starting SS, though.

Outfield:
6/10
Emil Brown, Endy Chavez and Frankie Gutierrez are supposed to be backups (except maybe Chavez)

Overall:
7/10

Prediction:
Giants in 5.

I just uploaded three new vids.
One of them is the WS, enjoy!
edit: sorry about the cutoff at the end of the WS video.
Must've been the battery on the camera, it went dead.
i had a little narrative of what happened after the HR, but oh well...
I edited Sandoval to:
CBDDD with 4 Trj and i think one ability.

well, i screwed up by getting too much in FA, and I'm 30000 over the limit for salary... (its a very bad habit)
i'm probably gonna start a new log, depending on what you guys think.
anyways, i converted pujols to SS, sizemore to 1B, vlad to 2B, and taught billingsley and peavy knuckleballs.

so, should i start a new log or continue this one?
i can't trade anyone, because they all are 1 star trades.
i put up a poll now.
