Ownership Changes

I will now be in charge of Orlando, and the new manager Wildwing88 will manage Virginia. I thought that owning a team in his state would make him want to join even more.

Game 12

Virginia Uniforms - Orlando Uniforms

Notes
Frustrating game for the Bums. A big pitching duel happened, and the Bums' offensive woes continued. The action started early Everett walked, and two batters later, Toby Hall in his new batting spot. In the second, the game shifted. The Bums' would get ousted in 1-2-3 fashion, and Ben Grieve led off the inning with a solo homer. The next inning, the top 2 batters got on base after a walk and a double. Grieve came up again, and hit his second homer of the day. 4 RBIs would be enough, ultimately. On the other side of the ball, Wells retired 12 strait batters from the 1st to 5th. The Bums rallied, but Everett couldn't drive any in and the Bums fell again.

Omaha Uniforms - Austin Uniforms

Notes
A great game of power and hitting. The Roughnecks scored first, with Dukes on second, Rocco Baldelli tripled to take the lead. Gabbard held the game down getting 2 Ks, and got out of the inning. Bobby Crosby got a base hit with Atkins at third, to tie the game for Omaha. But the lead didn't last. Rodriguez walked, and Chris Burke homered, his 2nd homer of his 2 hits this year. Then Bobby Bradley let the game go. Javier Valentin lined a pitch up and homered with Mathews on 3rd, and Vidro at 2nd after a double. So a 4-3 Omaha lead is what the Roughnecks were looking at. That didn't last long. The first batter of the inning, Brendan Irons hit a solo homer. Chad Bradford came in to hold the game, and he really did. He had his first two batters in scoring position, then retired 3 strait to end the inning. The game was tied, for Chris Burke. Another home run for the DH, and is 3 for 6 with 3 home runs on the season. Khalil Greene homered for good measure, and Bradford shut down Omaha and got the Roughnecks a win.

Portland Uniforms - Montreal Uniforms

Notes
The Trappers are trying to avoid the sweep at home, but they would have to get some offense going against Ben Sheets. The first batter for Montreal, Joey Gathright, homered and that would be enough. Sheets gave up a single to Richie Sexson, and that was the only hit given up by him. Kurt Ainsworth pitched good, and only gave up his second run with a walk. But they put in Calero, hoping to hold the game down. Sheets didn't let up and he shut the team down for the 5th and earned a win.

NOTE

I simmed two games today, and they are on the second post.

Bums change Lineup

(Virginia Beach, VA)
After being swept by Orlando, the Bums' manager Michael Taylor decided to boost offence with a change in the line up to balance out the batting order. The new order will be.


1 SS Adam Everett
2 OF Eric Byrnes
3 C Toby Hall
4 3B Hank Blalock
5 1B Jason Stokes
6 OF Adam Greenberg
7 DH
8 OF Bubba Crosby
9 2B Michael Holliman

Hall and Blalock move down, as Byrnes moves up. Hall has the best batting average ont he team, and Blalock has the 2nd most RBIs, behind Everett. Batting .095, Larry Bigbie will be switching with Brad Wilkerson at DH. Jason Stokes moves up to 5th place while batting .300.

If you want to change your line up, tell me. Then, I can add you to the authors list and we can all post.

Game 11

Virginia Uniforms - Orlando Uniforms

Notes
With the sweep withing range, a pitching duel would decide this game. Aces Mulder and James were on the mound, and Orlando got up early. With Freeman on first, Brent Abernathy tripled him in to make it 1-0. Joe Crede came up big two batters later getting a base hit scoring Abernathy. That would prove to be enough for James. In the 3rd, the Bums tried to come back. Greenberg tripled, and with two outs, Blalock doubled him home. Even though Mulder had 5 strike outs, his team didn't do enough to get him the win, and the Bums dopped to 4-5.

Omaha Uniforms - Austin Uniforms

Notes
Two pretty good pitchers up against eachother in a Lommel division battle. A perfect 1st on both sides, then a few singles in the second kept the game tied with blanks. The scoring started in the third, Vidro homered to take the lead, and in the bottom of the inning, Chris Burke homered to tie the game up. The game was tied going into the 5th. Crosby hit a Ponson pitch into the corner and got to second base. Ellison was up next and hit a double for hiself, to take the lead for the Cyclones. Jorge Julio came in for the save, and tied the Cyclones for first place with Austin.

Portland Uniforms - Montreal Uniforms

Notes
A great pitching match up in Montreal, as they're going for a sweep. Doug Waechter pitched excellent in this game, but so did Eric Milton. Through 4 innings, there was only two hits, a single by Church and Burroughs. 5 Strikeouts were recorded, two walks, and no pitcher was going to stop. Eric Milton went out in the top of the 5th, and gave up a lead off hit by Giles. With two outs, Simon walked. With Ricky Bracket up, he grounded out with a chance to knock in the runs. Rob Bowen walked with a full count, and first pitch, Daniel Ortmeier tripled scoring Bowen for the Bleus' victory.

Line Ups

Alright, does anyone want the stats, to change their line up? You can see your lineup from the previous game. Just remember the DH changes between your bench players every time one doesn't get a hit.

I can also send you free agents if you want.
