Try being the worst team in the league. Now I know how Coug felt all those seasons. Wait..... am I?? Image
id rather be the worst team than have quality pitchers on the DL and when they return they'll be completely shitty. Next season is basically a wash as well. Maybe some other GM will be in Colorado by then.

I lost Murray last sim, then went to call up Lujan, only to find out that he was down too. I've got enough depth at most positions to cruise through injuries... but definitely didn't have it at C.
yeah Gil has nice ratings.

he'll put it together somewhere.... just won't be with us.

he was out of options and about a .120 career hitter. probably needs consistent AB's to work thru it

The Alcoholics have also been slowly climbing the ranks. After the first 3 sims, Houston was #30 (out of 30) in the power rankings. Since then we have reached #12. We have also put ourselves 1 game over .500. This marks the first time being over .500 (this late in the season) since the franchise made their historic move from Kentucky.

Houston A sits 3.5 games out of a WC spot and only 9.5 out of the division lead. . . . there is still a half a season to go . . . but management is very excited about the future.

Only down 4 runs with the chance to get the top of the lineup back up to the plate. It would be different if it was a 6+ run game.

I am surprised that Nick hasn't been more vocal about his place in the standings over AJ.

Now that you mention it, it seems like Nick hasn't been posting much, just in general.

Can someone tell me what their scout thinks about RF Chris Uttley (A ball). My scout is legendary in everything but favors ability rather than tools.

cause he knows we're better than them. We've been crushed by lengthy DL stints, and our 1st half schedule has been pretty tough. After the break we play a bunch of Houston's and Omaha's. we'll win the division

Gerardo vazquez has just been a disaster of a free agent signing. Maybe even as bad as Ando.
