    Off to another rip-roaring start, I was 2-3 this week. Somehow managed to only score 20 runs,
    despite hitting 10 home runs in five games. Holy solo jobs, Batman!

    Off to my usual fast start. 6-1. I have another 2 or 3 sims similar to this one before leveling off and playing .500 ball for the rest of the season. Then an early exit in the playoffs.
    Every time you play a hand of you poker you wanna run through a mental check list. Head Position Hand Position Neck Position Breathing Posture. More than 25 items. It's a lot. And that why I've come up with a handy mnemonic device. Just one word: HPHPNPBPECMSPAMDCPAFTSTTL. It's easy.

    I guess I can live with that. Better than being the Mets of TTWB. Right, yoop?

    Sorry. Still have that bullpen collapse on the last day of the regular season in my mind. You know, the one that secured me a playoff spot a couple seasons ago. Tanks again...oops...I meant thanks.

    Which bullpen collapse was that? So many to choose from!

    A 4-1 start has Las Vegas on top of the hardest division in the TTWB. We will see how long that lasts.

    I'm barely ahead of you at 1-5. I thought Edenton was supposed to have a down year? They swept me!

    My pitching overall did decent-enough, but my bats have been cold. Chuck Johnston, who hit nearly .400 during his September callup last year, has started the season in an 0-26 slump. Can't have that from your #2 batter!

    Trade away a 5 Star pitcher for a for 4 star pitcher and another guy with the nickname "headcase".

    Instant 10-25 slump. Went from leading the wildcard to looking at draft classes. 0 players under the heading "Who's hot" and 4 under "Who's Not"

    Ugly.

    Oh, I think we are looking for more owners, too. You too can come beat up on Las Vegas!

    Nice turnaround for the Dam Site Drifters, might finally get into another finals this year. Magic number is one with 8 to play.
    However due to eating a huge contract, I'll finish the year about two million in the hole. Pizza man is going to be pissed!

    Best team in the league right now is the Iowa City Stalkers. Of course, I literally traded away every one of my good prospects for a 34-yo hitter and 32-yo SP.

    The MTBL (mtblentral.com) has 2 openings currently if anyone is looking to join a league.
    Put me on record. Prince Fielder will still OPS 850+ in years 7-8-9 of this contract. (sucks that my signature has to stay this for 7 years now)

    Love how I lost my starting 2B and 3B in back-to-back sims, both out for what will be the entire playoffs.

    10 seasons in TTWB and all I have to show for it is 2 game 163 losses. I guess I won't be quitting my day job to run a pro team.
