MLB 06 the Show Online League - Season 1 (We're gonna party like it's 1994)

The games will start at Midnight, May 3rd, 2006.

Why the 1994 you ask? Well, that was the year that baseball "died". The Divisions were realigned, Bud Selig caused a stopage, and had a World Series canceled. WE WILL RECREATE WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN! NO CENTRAL DIVISIONS! EAST AND WEST IS WHERE IT'S AT! Jeff Bagwell will claim what should have been his, from the comfort of his own seat in the dugout. THE 1994 SEASON LIVES ON! Good luck, gentlemen.

Each Week will consist of a 3 game series against one opponent. All games must be completed within that week, ("weeK" will last 7 days for now, may be cut down depending on how fast we fly through everything)

Settings:
* 9 Innings
* All-Star difficulty
* Guess Pitch: OFF
-------------

1) 4 man rotation, NO EXCEPTIONS! (Going by the MLB The Show Rosters). So if your Pitchers are Joey, Bobby, David, and Julio, in game you Joey can start, game 2 bobby, game 3 david, game for julio, then your 5th game of the season Joey can start again, but not before that.

2) No Guess Pitch/Location, turn it off in the online game settings screen.

3) You can change your lineup/def positioning all you want (within reason). I don't want to see David Ortiz playing center field.

4) If you're losing, don't start plunking people every at bat. Once, maybe twice is ok, and you'll likely get hit back, which is fine. I don't want to see 8 HBP to 6HBP in a game. Don't be a sore loser! If you served up a pitch over the middle and got taken yard too bad!

5) You don't have to throw every pitch in the strikezone or every pitch out of the strikezone. Try to mix your pitches up. Don't swing at everything either!

6) You may designate if you want to start either your #4 or #5 guy, but let it be known in the season thread. The "4th starter" can be a platoon of #4 and #5 if you want, but that means that you'll likely have one less guy pitching out of the bullpen.

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world he’d rather have. The problem is, Dwyane’s not a woman.
Finally a real baseball league :D

*crosses fingers that it survives like a Madden season*

I'm going to suck in this thing. I've tried 3 games online so far to practice and get used to the latency, 2 times it was laggy beyond belief and the third time it was silky smooth and then we just lost contact after my first batter hit a ground ball. Are all the games like this online?

Uh-oh, I'm in the division with probably the best players and the much hated Giants. >:|

Ahh, this blows. I demand to be in the same Division as Rorschach. A rivalry in one sport doesn't just end in another.

Though, at least we'll compete in the NL Championship game. SO IT IS WRITTEN, SO SHALL IT BE DONE.

I can't belive you picked the GIANTS. What a classless move. Barry Bonds? I hope you can't sleep at night. FMT should have taken them, or the Dodgers....instead he takes Anaheim and you take San Francisco. Bizarro land!

Lets see I wanted the Stros,Mig gets them season one cause he payed for League daddy.I then wanted the Rangers,but realized I dont like other Texas teams,plus Andokuky wanted them and I gave them up cause I wanted as many people to join.

I then decided on the Cards,cause I thought that would make for some great divsion rivilary games with Mig.I was called out by Fmt and Rors for using a team I hate.

Then FMT/or Mig,I'm not sure who,created the divisions and had me down as the Cards.I couldnt think of another NL team that was decent,other than the Braves,but I hate them too.

I choose the Giants and now im gong to get shit for picking them :lol

Honestly someone draw a name out of a hat and give me a team :p

Shit I'll be the Marlins,I'm used to playing with shit teams in videogames,losing comes naturally for me.

Still I dont think Mig wants to mess up the divsions now.

No! What have I done? I was just busting Matrix's balls when Ando came along and took advantage of his fragile mental state! :(

The Giants are a good team....you have Alou. In fact, you have two Alous. Jason Schmidt is a legit #1 pitcher, and Bonds is Bonds. Aside from - The braves(who I really hate), reds, rockies, dodgers there's probably no better team for you :D


Also.....FMT: I'm away from my computer until maybe tomorrow morning. Remember that we're playing at 12 PST on wednesday, and tell me which lobby you'd like to meet in, as we're not on each other's friends list yet. Maybe we should establish a default lobby for people to meet up in.

Dont worry I'm staying put with the Giants.Its too much of a hassle for Mig to do the schedule over and divisions.

edit- Yea a default lobby would be a good idea.

East 1 is normally empty.

Also, Matrix, I'm contemplating giving you the Astros, and taking another team for myself. MAYBE.

If I do switch, I'd be taking the Padres.

Why are you thinking of giving me the Stros? You feel sorry for me ? :lol :(

I didnt know you liked the Padres Mig.

Miguel said:
I don't like the Padres, I like Trevor Hoffman (except in 98)

Ahhh,but to give me the Stros to use Hoffman instead,thats some strong crack you're snorting Mig :p

Well, every time you want a team, someone keeps taking it, I figure rather than have you use your 4th-5th choice, I'll give you the Stros this season, and I'll take them next season.

Plus, it comes down to the Giants, Braves, and Padres of the teams I would pick, and I would take SD out of those 3

If you want to keep the Giants though...feel free. :p

Hell no Id rather use the Stros :lol I'm not sure why everyone is giving me a hard time about it,its kinda funny,THEY WONT LIKE ME IF I USE THE STROS! Using another team I wont do as well.

Stop saying Giants. There is only ONE real Giants organization in all of sports and they play football!

Ram-dogs, I am down to play whenever you can. I should be getting home at around 9:30 Eastern tonight.

Time for me to take home the pennant.

PS: Everyone knows Miguel and I will be away at E3 next week right? ;)

Week 2 (unless everyone finishes by thursday night) will start around the start of E3.

If everyone gets their games in soon enough though, maybe we can advance week 2 pretty fast.
