Speaking of wind blowing out. I thought it was bad when Web hit 4 dingers against me. I managed to win, but only to have Seth come into Safeco and hit 5! The horror! |

Just so everyone knows, I did NOT use the guess pitch location option at all and had my best offensive performance of the season.
One thing I love about this game and league is that every game is completely different from the others. Kevin and I had a low scoring (no scoring for me) game our first time around and then we both had an offensive explosion last night. I shut down Seth during our first game only to have him shut me down in the rematch. I anxious to see what happens in my rematches with Ted and web.

Houston beats NYY in 10, 6-5, after coming back from a 1 run deficit in the 9th vs Rivera. Walk off home run for Ensberg!
That was a really, really fun one, Jason. The first half of the game I was struggling with a lot of lag, especially while hitting. Your pitches were freezing midway between the mound and home, before resuming and zipping by me. I thought it was going to be a miserable game.
That cleared up by like the fifth or sixth inning, though, and the game was certainly working fine when you came back vs Mo. That was nice!
I accidentally pulled him, though. He was going to pitch the 10th as well, but I accidentally replaced him when I went to warm guys up. Turned out to be a fatal mistake, but the way you were hitting Mo it may not have mattered.
Anyway, that was a real blast. Even though I lost, that was one of my favorites so far, complete with the way the home team won.

Oh, and damn those updated rosters! I came into the game with the intention of pitching Pavano, since I used everyone else already. But of course, Pavano was gone, and big putz Wright was in his place! Grrr.
Figuring I have to use him anyway, I went with him, but as you saw, he was on a very short rope. Proctor was great for me.

Great game Web!!!
I have a tendency NOT to use Mariano when I play offline (in any baseball game) because his pitches don't seem to have alot of movement. While a great fastball can strike out alot of guys in real life, it's not as effective in video games. Proctor and Sturtze pitched great for you though. I was glad to see you pinch-hit for both of them.
It looks like the updated rosters have made Giambi a much better player to coincide with his great start this season.
Also, I specifically saved Oswalt for my game against the Yankees. That lineup scares the sh*t out of me, especially now with Giambi's hot bat.

He recovered enough (barely) to get me out of the ninth with a tie, though, so I was willing to give him another shot. Alas, 'twas not to be.
That was just pure fun, though.

You're a damn good sport, Ted.
That must have been like a root canal. Thanks for sticking with it.
I was just fooling around throwing at Kojima, hoping to get a laugh out of you maybe. Hopefully that didn't get you mad.
