So, two years ahead of schedule, the Dodgers and Astros meet in Houston for game one of the World Series. This figures to be a series with lots of close games, and two very similar sets of strengths. Game One Dodgers 0 Astros 2 The series opener sets the tone,…
The NL was an interesting ride. Unlike previous replays where there was the elite, then the teams you “padded your stats against” there was a smooth transition from the upper echelon to the truly horrible. Read Scott’s AL Recap! Perhaps it’s irony that when I got this set it was…
Well, my first 21st century regular season is in the books. A lot of things happened in the just over 2 years since I rolled the first game between the Blue Jays and the Yankees, which saw New York win 3-2. I joined my first ever league, had my biggest…
Miller Park Milwaukee, WI May 10, 2015 The Cubs are struggling badly of late and have drifted dangerously near the “anything can happen” middle of the pack. They are also at a point where due to schedule adjusting to get to the 140 game season I wanted that they are…
This is the reason I purchased the 1915 season. In the real world, this was the closest pennant race in baseball history with three teams finishing within a half game and the fourth-place team 5 games out. I did this season in windows with myself mainly managing the Cubs, and…

The AL was kind of a unique experience for me. I was not really interested in it, but got kind of drawn in about the time June came around. Initially just for certain game match ups, but eventually for individual performers. I expected the Red Sox to win a pretty…
I was recently purchasing a season for the upcoming Chicagoland Tournament and I chose the 2016 Chicago Cubs. But since I don’t have the team and also wanted to own the first Cub world championship roster in my lifetime I went ahead and ordered it. However, when I went to…
Busch Stadium St. Louis, MO May 7, 2015 Tonight’s game features Kyle Hendricks vs Lance Lynn. Kyle has had a decent, but not spectacular season so far, while Lance has easily been the best redbird starter so far. I’m expecting this to be an interesting game so let’s get underway.…
Busch Stadium St. Louis, MO May 6, 2015 The Cubs are looking to rebound from last night’s shutdown performance by redbird hurler Nick Martinez. Tonight’s game sees Jon Lester match up against Michael Wacha, who has struggled pretty badly so far. Wacha looks like it will be a quick start…
