I lasted two years with Houston (first year I was expected to make the playoffs, finished dead last, next year I was supposed to play .500 ball, and going in to September, I was five games over, then my two top pitchers and my best hitter got hurt for the rest of the season, sent me into a slide). Then I got a job with Orlando, not realizing the death trap of finances that entailed. First year was 'Don't finish last,' and I didn't. Managed an 80-82 season with a team that should definitely have finished last. Next season, 'Play .500 ball.' Last day of the season, I was trailing the divisional leader San Francisco by a game. Last game, in Orlando, against SF. 8-2 final, we play a one-game playoff in Frisco. I lose, 2-1. I'm back for a third year, my finances are still a wreck, but I've got some good young talent that's finally starting to come up.

I also got married to a girl named Bri a couple months after getting the Orlando job. We had our first son, Ambrose, in January of last year. I'm sure he'll grow up to be a real fireballer.

EDIT: Since my last post, I've simmed two more years, making it to the playoffs the first year, and undergoing COMPLETE GRAVITATIONAL COLLAPSE the second. In mid-September, with Orlando in the middle of the playoff hunt, my team became a black hole, from which no wins could escape. We lost seventeen straight and finished 79-83. Owner was not happy about that, but offered me another two years in Florida anyway.

Ambrose is coming along well, but he's worrying me by being two years old and having no baseball skills yet. Bri also gave birth to a little girl last April. I named her Rachel. She also doesn't have any baseball skills, but she doesn't move much, either. So I guess that evens out.
