Man... nine runs in the top of the first, and then they just quit scoring, then Nacho goes and wins the game on four well-placed dribblers.

You can do that when you've got a bunch of guys with 140+ speed!

Well... yeah, but all those damn dribblers got through to the outfield, so they'd have been hits for Tony Armas, too.

[nomaaa]

yea but it takes five singles to score armas from first

Great week running the games, nomaaa. 

Time to start week 2.  No rest!

i have another busy week, so i already did the stats yesterday

i may have overlooked some of the errors when calculating era, so just know that it's total runs/1 inning

[TempoGL]

Watching my first game right now.  What a fucking travesty.  We threw the ball past the 3rd baseman three times (so far), gave up another homer because the ball got stuck in the wall, and Hack Wilson is 0-4 thus far

[Nacho]

Shoulda drafted better defenders imo.

Is there somewhere that lists who the owner is of each team?  I have no idea who's playing who most games.

first game of the week is a rematch of the preseason tourney — easily coulda been game of the week, and it's a barnburner so far

[Shooty]

watching it now before my next meeting

[Shooty]

Great game!

[nomaaa]

srsly what a game

[Shooty]

I missed the first five innings of my game.  Looks like it was entertaining.

[Shooty]

Geez.  I could barely keep up with everything.  Missed half the games.  But a couple of barnburners there. 

[nomaaa]

they go quick

[Darky]

The last game between Old Stylers and the Blue Ribbons involved a rare glitch that led to 8 straight walks!

Interesting round of games. Lots of hitting in the first half of games, then more pitching.

[Nacho]

That 9th inning of the Old Stylers game...wow.

That glitch could have been a LOT worse if not for that ill-advised swing leading to the double play.
