Game 5
Mets - 2 - 9 - 0
Giants - 0 - 8 - 0
Final


Dickey's knuckler was dancing today. Spot it away, it'd move in, thank God for the patch. Like I said corran, welcome to The Mo Zone, where HR's go to turn into flyouts. Thank god, I threw a hanging change and Posey drilled it. Reyes with a big two out RBI triple. Of course Frankie made it exciting as usual. Also WTH with the little lag towards the end? I need to check my connection.

If you want to stop for the night it's fine. I anticipate Sanjuro doing a new league so I want to keep playing. At the very least consider it practice looking into player tendencies.

I got scared when I threw you out at home. Hoped Posey didnt get hurt -.-''

Cant believe the strike zone for this game was so generous. So many times I didnt strike at balls that got called strike.

I thought I tapped the runner to round 3rd and go home, and he stopped. Had to start him up and when he was going to me out I brainlocked and didn't truckstick the catcher.

Apparently I dont know how to run the bases that well because I fucked up hardcore too on one of our games.

Left stick points to the base until you see the runner pinging, and tap the button which corresponds to the base you want runner to go (X=home).

Did you want to finish? I IMed you in the Lobby.

Game 6
Mets - 2 - 4 - 0
Giants - 3 - 7 - 0
Final


Yikes, tough loss. Santana hung the everloving crap outta a change and Sandoval parks it out for 2-run HR and a 3-0 lead. Hard to come back when Lincecum is mowing down guys ... dude was throwing great but in retrospect, I executed my gameplan. Took pitches, swung at strikes but I couldn't take advantage of mistakes. I was early on EVERYTHING... FB, 2-seamer, change, curve. How many HR's did I pull foul? That killed me because I had some hangers to hit.

Wright breaks up the no-no with a leadoff double in the 8th, Davis and Murphy both K (both missed pitches) and Pagan grounds out, wasting a bigtime opportunity. In the 9th after Thole grounded out Pridie PHing singled, stole 2nd and Reyes got a hanger and doubled him in. In comes Brian Wilson, and I PH Jason Bay as the tying run. Bay gets one up and he rips a double scoring Reyes. 3-2 game with Beltran up. He gets late on a FB and pops up to shallow left. Wright comes up as the tying run and he K's to end the game. DAMMIT!

good series, at least I made you sweat that game out.

I'm out until next season. Selling my copy. The fact that I have only played one online game in the past two months at least is pretty lousy. I also have much more on my plate going forward. Frankman looks to have a plan in place, you can authorize co-general managers in the options screen to give people limited and full controls. Maybe both him and LJ can carry the load.

Sorry guys.

BTW for the record if a new person wants a team a past person has had, Priority would go to the person who had the team before, but if you can come to an agreement that's ok.

EDIT: BTW this is all the people we had before...

The Frankman - The Frankman86 - Mets
LJ11 - LJ11 - Reds
Corran Horn - Corran - Giants
turnbuckle - Turnbuckle47 - Tigers
eznark - thekranz - Brewers
Dmncnby2k9 - Dmncby2k8 - Rangers
pistolpete2940 - pistolpete294 - Yankees

People who wanted in so far:
Duane Cunningham
Square Triangle
Marleyman
KanZolo (was in prior league)
ph33nix (connection issues)

People I'm waiting on a reply from
Mrbob - Busy
The_Inquisitor - Thinking about it once he gets back
BigNastyCurve
Macattk15
AnEternalEnigma (posted ad nauseum about game in Gaming Thread :p)
Sanjuro Tsubaki (COME BACK!!!)

Guys, make sure YOU ALL FRIEND EACH OTHER AND QUIT THE LEAGUE. I'm not sending out invites until then. I'll PM eznark or if he has AIM someone talk to him?

We have 7 people, only one person dropped, we don't need more additions than the ones listed in "those who want in" category.

If Bob wanted in he would've posted a long time ago.

Reason I did it was because Dmncnby2k9 has PS3 issues (trying to get it fixed this weekend) and eznark is currently MIA until mid-June with the ban. I see his AIM so I'll try and contact it...

It's just precautionary, but I'd like to gauge interest just in case. This goes towards next year also.

I;m still interested. When would this league start and how many days do we have to play the series
Click to expand...
I figure the same as last year, 3 game in 5 days. No auto-advance though, so I'll be willing to give people a day or two if things get hectic in real life. Once everyone quits league I start sending out invites to new league. I'm hoping it starts next Friday at the latest.

Hey the show-gaf whats up? I would like to get in on this league if possible. I usually, well always, play with my red sox (born in Boston/ avid fan...see avatar) but I wouldn't mind playing with the Cardinals since I moved to stl and they are now my second team (MLB thread hates me). If neither of those work I might be willing to pick some random team. Check out my profile on the show community site to make sure I'm legit. bjscott05 on there too. Let me know if it works guys. Thanks

Kanzolo I got your message and re-invited you.

Also if some of you are thinking of switching teams don't just leave the League. The commissioner can switch teams for players, so if you're thinking of working with someone to change teams just tell me the teams and I'll switch them for you.

This is OSFM 2.0 with full Gear and Stance edits by RNS and Beckham. We never use the Sony rosters because of the lack of real minor leaguers.

I'd like to get this league started by tomorrow, I think I'll post a new thread when it happens...
