So, Im thinking you should probably do extensions as they are posted when you have time, as opposed to pre sim. Just an idea.

The amount of posts will decrease if its only one thread per team.

Pretty happy with my team. I improved my SP with a trade last sim, and should improve my hitting with a trade before next sim.

5-0, 4 of which were 1-run games(all 4-3 or 5-4 victories), and 2 of which went to 13 innings. Tied for the divison lead with the Braves & Mets, but I don't expect it to stay that tight, but then again, who knows, my team has won 6 in a row. My team is 10-4 in 1 run games & 4-1 in Extra Inning Games.

Good sim for the Reds. I moved to within 1.5 games of the division lead (St Louis). Still playing around with my lineup, trying to get some of my hitters like Junior, Boone, and Casey into their right spots. None of them seem to be playing near where they should. I'm really disappointed with Junior's play, but he's had help from people like Guillen and Felipe Lopez to pick up his slack. Pierre has been a great pick-up as well, he's a real threat to get on base and move into scoring position whenever he feels like it.
Our pitching has been solid enough to win us games. We've had a couple surprises in the rotation, especially considering I felt like this rotation could have been the worst in the majors to start the year. Our pitching strength has definitely been our end-game pitchers. Danny Graves (1.76 ERA, 1.11 WHIP) and Scott Williamson (0.60 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, and 11 saves) have been lights out when we can get them the ball with the lead.
All in all, I'm really surprised with my team so far, but I'm not going to be rushing any of my youngsters up to the big leagues (like Chris George, Ryan Madson, Bobby Crosby, and Austin Kearns) unless I feel like they're truly ready to make an impact.

By the way this is kind of impossible because I can only make actual moves/transactions when the file is locked for sim time. The only thing I can do is just try to make it as efficiently as possible time-wise.

3 of the 4 best pitching staffs are in the NL East, go figure.

We all have access to it, and can look at what the players want on our games, and then make offers. You can input them. I also think buddies should offer initial contract offers instead of having everyone post they have interest in resigning. IO mean today you spent 30 minutes telling people with the game what they already knew.

4-2. great sim
Coming off a win vs the tribe we beat them two more times to finish a sweep.
Then we lost a couple to the bluejays and came a way with a win the last day.
Then the first game vs the yanks we beat them in a solid outting. 9 solid innings from Ramon Ortiz, Davanon hits a homerun in the 10th to win the game in the end.
Burrell has been on fire, hot bat for us right now. Driving in alot of the runs. K-Rod is at 13 saves, doing really well.
The entire west divison is at 19-19 besides the A's. Wow, this is going to be ruff to compete with these teams.

4-1. more central opponents..
one cycle through the rotation, slowly switched washburn from 4th to 2nd over time since off days gave me that ability. paying off aleady, and i really like pedro and him going back to back. 4 out of 5 starters pitched very well and that's exactly what i want. the bullpen did OK.
offense was sporadic and mike lowell is now injured, so that's cool. the computer was doin funny shit like playin nomar @ 3b and sanchez @ SS, oh well. still good overall, and wins are wins.

I don't get it... statistically we should be dominating the division... yet we're not.

2-4.
Took the last 2 of the Chicago series to complete the sweep, got swept by the Yankees, and lost the first game of series vs Detroit.
Pitching was definitely all over the place this sim, Mulder and Hudson both had awful starts, but credit to the Yanks who are a great hitting team. Putting up runs wasn't a problem at all, bullpen also didn't hold up well.
On the plus side. Castillo is on fire, 19 game hitting streak! Sweeney also has a 13 game hitting streak. Those 2 continue to punish the ball, by far my 2 most consistent hitters.
Despite the losing sim, nothing to be worried about, sitting comfortably right now and should cruise to a division title.

This sim we went 2-3 but our team looked better. We kept the games we lost close till the end and we had more consistency up and down the lineup. Webb finally had his best start of the season by far and picked up his first win of the going 8.1 innings allowing no runs while striking out 6. Randy has been phenomenal going 3-1 with a .31 era and is second for most strikeouts in the majors with 76 behind schilling with 79. Baustista Hillenbrand and Womack have really carried this team in the past sim. Patterson has been outstanding in triple A going 6-0 with a 2.43 Era. We have made some progress and the youngsters are looking better and better for our future. With some moves in the making this team seems to be headed in the right direction.

Had a 5-2 sim. We just keep winning. Got some great pitching performances, and the offense was clutch in the late innings. I can't wait for Reyes to age and up his batting average; when he does, he's going to be completely dynamic.

4-3 sim. Kenny Rogers fucking sucks. Lew Ford's been great. The rest of my SP was nasty this sim. Lackey had an OK effort, but Cook gave me his best start yet, Mays gave me two great starts, and Lohse was great. Hopefully we can maintain the SP, because the offense will take a blow with Kielty gone. May give Hawpe a callup soon, but he doesn't exactly look ML-ready.
Aaron Cook can be pretty amazing sometimes. I think he could be a no. 2 on a great staff.
Hermida is up to .350 on the year. On his way to AA soon. Teixeira is playing like he's ML-ready, but I'll wait for the game to say so.

terrible sim. 2-5. No starting pitching. Bartolo is the ace and he is just developing. Offense scors runs, but the pitching is terrible. Just called up Benoit and im very intereseted to see how he preforms.
