Damn, that was only the first pool!

Nice thing here, keep it up?

heh...yep, three more to go :D

I think it's about 120 games long - which in the "dynasty" aspect of it comes out to be less than someone who plays every game of a regular dynasty. It'll be the longest I've done though as I usually just play the first game of each series in a dynasty.

With the teams being different most games though, it stays pretty fresh and fun. Thanks for checking in! :popcorn:

scoring Wally Backman.

double, scoring Dwight Gooden in the second inning.

davmu4.png

Tommy Davis pulls the Pilots within striking distance with a two run home run in the seventh inning.

He was the last batter Dwight Gooden would face.

bagmm8.pngkniyh1.png

With runners on first and second and two outs, Steve Hovley came to the plate representing the tying

run in the ninth inning. Hovley shot one down the third base line, hitting the bag and jumping up on

Mets third bagger Ray Knight. Staying with it, Knight knocked the ball down and rifled a throw across

the diamond, getting Hovely by a half step and securing the victory for the Mets.

Scoring

B1: Carter single scores Dykstra

B2: Santana double scores Backman; Gooden sacrifice hit, safe at first and advances to third on error

by Brabender, Santana scores; Dykstra double scores Gooden

B4: Dykstra single scores Wilson

T7: Davis two run HR

W - Gooden L - Brabender S - Orosco

Game Notes:

Originally ruled a single, Lenny Dykstra's hit in the second inning was changed to a double. The official

scorer originally thought that Dykstra went to second on the throw but later determined that he would

have made it to second safely in any instance.

Players of the Game:

Lenny Dykstra 3-4, 2B, 2 SB, 2 RBI

If you wanted to delegate out one of the pools, Id be more than happy to play it. But I could never get the box score extractor to work.

nah, i'm having a blast playing with all the classic teams - plus it gives me something to do for a month or so while i wait for baseball to return

as for the extractor, you should PM tywiggins and see if he can help. i couldn't get it to work at first either but he helped out quite a bit.
