Anyone planning on simulating this thing?
I damn sure will. In 2002 I simulated the Championship Series since it involved all teams from RBI. It was fun. I would just set it on WATCH mode 30 minutes before each actual game and see if the RBI gods would accurately predict who would win each game.
I think that the Astros have a lot of hope in this one since not only do they have Clemens, but they have Lopes as first base coach and Gary Gaetti as the hitting coach.
Nolan Ryan's presence in the stands did nothing but help the 'Stros today!
