Trade:

Kansas City traded Dutch starting pitcher Rick Vanden Hurk (4-7, 4.58 ERA) to Oakland for minor league catcher Martin Mills (.246, 0 HR, 12 RBI, 1 SB - R). Nobody in baseball understands this trade, as Mills isn't regarded as a top prospect.

Elsewhere:

Mets SS Chris Marrero (.280, 6 HR, 31 RBI) will miss up to six weeks with a strained elbow ligament.

The Mariners gave closer Yasunari Takagi (3-0-18, 2.48 ERA) a new 1-year deal worth $3,680,000.

This was som really sad baseball from our side against San Diego. They outplayed us in every aspect of the game and especially our pitching looks very lame at the moment. The ERA of our starters dropped from 3rd in the league to 13th and virtually everybody struggles to pitch deep into the game. Offensively we are still top of the league nevertheless. ight be even more tough? Boise sounds beatable, but they also own a record above .500 thanks to very strong starting pitching.

In German there's a saying "garbage never dies!"

Thanks for your nice words... For now the dynasty is up and running Really like the game. Wish I could switch to OOTP 11, but when I do so all pitchers are messed up (no stamina) and the game is unplayable.
So the plan is keep playing this one on the laptop and a new one on the desktop...

My better half is German - I hear a lot of 'German sayings' but that is one I will use on her in the future!!

What thoughts do you have on a new desktop game, something similar, or you branching off into a different style, and will you be reporting back on it to here?

21st July 2013


Even after more than a year off, we still pretty much suck. Our record for the month of July is 5-11 and our starters ERA dropped to 14th in the league. There are three options:
- get help from AAA
- get help from a trade
- pray that starters 3, 4 and 5 learn to pitch decent again.
Stay tuned for more!
The problem is we are facing the division leading, full strength and hot St. Louis Cardinals right now. If this series gets lost, we have an uphill struggle to win the division. The Reds, Brewers and Blue Jays are all within five games of us.


Disabled List:
Winnipeg -
IF Alberto Gonzalez (9 months)

A decent eight inning outing by Morris and an Cardinal infield throwing away balls like crazy was all we needed to end our sad streak.
