Red Mosquito

My stats are updated.

WhatIf is nailing the Rickie Weeks experience. Some big hits, HBPs, and booting the ball all over the infield at crucial moments.

Lets Go Astros

Lets Get It Together Red Sox

The Christy Mathewson struggles are a bit of a surprise.

It's like last time when Cy Young bombed for our Sox team.

Ugh. Trying to get Ott, McCovey, Bonds and Mize in the lineup against righties means I need at least on of them at 3B. It's ugly.

I just ran sims with Willie Mays at 2B to try and make this work.

it very much did not.

How bad was he?

the 4 error game told me that it was probably a bad idea. I was trying every possible configuration and it just didnt work. So Im just going to roll with Ott at 3B until i have a larger sample to determine who should be sitting.

I thought Koufax sucking in the last tourney he appeared in was a fluke. Apparently, it was not a fluke.

Him being so mediocre in the last era tournament was really a surprise. I thought he could end up being Pedro-esque.
