Red Mosquito

I saw them a bunch of times last year and it was always an older crowd, so you probably won't feel out of place.

They are fantastic live.

Now i know laments team name and I can sim like crazy!

Also, I think I may be able to use baseballstatstracker.com to keep stats logged for the entire tournament. I will sign up for an account and fill in game one later.

I may also simulate game two later on as well. I just need the go-ahead from 4/5 about if he wants to make any lineup changes.

this is fun

Everyone is gonna want to sim against my team so they can beef up their records.

True story, I searched for lament earlier, found some random account named "newbies lament" and did just that. I knew it wasnt our folks, but figured it'd be fun.

Were newbies lament's teams good?

Not terrible. Although I just tried to do the same thing and was below .500 for like 10 games.

*plays 2003 tigers instead*

Good deal. Not that I care if I'm out of place. Good to hear they are good live. I'm hoping Icky Blossoms open. They are a fun band in Omaha who sounds a lot like Chvrches.

Maybe I should swap my team for newbies lament.

I just did that... my team with Randy Johnson vs. the 2003 Tigers with Mike Maroth. I won 3-2, got a little concerned, then did it again and won 15-0.

Also, the 2006 Tigers won 11 out of 13 games on the road against the 2006 Cardinals.

I also noticed that it allows you to use a DH in that match up, but you can't when you're using two Dream Teams. I don't like that.

haha it has Dmitri Young in CF for the 2003 Tigers

Yeah. Whoever runs the site is decidedly anti-DH. I don't know why you have to use two historical teams from the DH-era to use one.

Icky Blossoms would be a fantastic opener.

Seriously.

Yogi said it best.....

I can't decide if I should tinker with my lineup or chalk up the ineptitude to facing Greg? Maddux in his prime. The tough part is Price actually pitched really well, but...well, Greg? Maddux.

We've got Pettitte-Loaiza in game two. I feel like I'm not at as much of a disadvantage in that one.

Ok Hang on let me see if I want to tinker.
