- In first place, off and on. I really liked when we won 15 straight, 20 out of 21, and 27 of 30.
- [url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?mode=stats&id=1932272]Jimmy Nichols[/url] is tattooing the ball: he leads in MVP voting, is scoring about a run a game. Also leads AL in homers and is toying with a run at 100 RBI ... from the leadoff spot.
- Honorable mentions: [url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?mode=stats&id=3126438]Tom Anderson[/url] strong out of the gate; [url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?mode=stats&id=3544216]Shanahan[/url] continues to impress; [url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?mode=stats&id=3390771]Heffner[/url] finally hitting up to expectations. Surprised even himself, and slipped on that banana peel.
- [url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?mode=stats&id=2234605]Bob Butler[/url] (8-1) showing his top Irv form. Comes back off injury and twirls a lovely complete-game victory.
- [url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?mode=stats&id=1369740]Bret Saberhagen[/url] (7-2) has already matched his 1968 win total. This year's ERA (8.50) slightly higher, though.
- [url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?mode=stats&id=3126465]Dick Sloan[/url] coping well with the pressure of being our go-to guy in the bullpen; it helps to have [url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?mode=stats&id=2234820]Allen Brock[/url] backing him up.
[b]The Bad[/b]
- Tough competition in the AL this year. (Actually, I think this is good. The pennant race this year could get really wild.)
- Maybe [url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?mode=stats&id=2373864]Dom Gooden[/url] wasn't quite ready for a starting gig.
[b]The Ugly[/b]
- Matt's mood when Baltimore has its annual meltdown.

The Good
- Jack Edwards having another All-Star type season.
- Vallie Shea, Ed Pierotti and Randy Higham doing solid work in the pen.
- Faedo, Wheat and Reninger hitting well.
The Bad
- Nobody else on this team can hit at all. Poor seasons by Rico, Gruber, Vaughan, Corwin, McLaughlin, etc. Makes for some really boring baseball.
- Sonny Fuchs seems to have declined two years early.
- The inevitable long-term injury to Ray LaGrow. ABE just can't stand to see a young player play a full season.
The Ugly
- Ray Cooper's stats.

- The next generation of hitting stars of [url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=2817333]Dave Hathaway[/url], [url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=3390677]Joe Drago[/url], [url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=3708803]Bobby Theriot[/url], and [url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=3390734]Ernie Feller[/url] are getting some valuable playing time.
- Two more young hitters in [url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=3867038]Johnny Keck[/url] and [url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=3544149]Dave Doyle[/url] almost ready for the big leagues.
- We're hanging around in the race for a playoff spot but it's gonna take a big effort from the boys in the second half to make the palyoffs.
- [url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=1369547]Dick Cox[/url] gets his 3,000th hit and continues to play at a high level.
The Bad
[url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=1275143]Tom Bennett[/url] is starting to fade and there are no fresh arms coming up from the farm.
- [url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=2691229]Trevor Umphlett[/url] and [url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=3126522]Dan Ausanio[/url] were supposed to be the future anchors of the bullpen but both have struggled all season.
The Ugly
- The demise of the pitching staff as a force has been a painful sight for a franchise that has always been led by strong pitching.
Management Thoughts
- It looks like it is time to decide if this is the time to either trade for an extra veteran arm or two to make a playoff run or begin trading vets for pick and stars and begin the rebuilding process.
- [url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=4032430]Bill Ullrich[/url] will be available in the offseason or now for either a veteran arm(s) or a future draft choice.

The Good
Herb Hippauf leading Fireman voting with 6 wins
and 24 saves against only 1 blown
Slim Marshall doing yeoman relief work
The team leads in Team Saves with 35 and only 3 blown
Mike Melendez with 11 wins (helped by the bullpen)
Greg Noyes batting .316 with 16 homers and 80 RBIs
Mark Hernandez batting .312
The Team is playing at a .600 clip
The Bad
The hitting of Honeycutt and Hennessey
The Ugly
The spotty record of the starters
Management thoughts
The team has broken through this season and
should be a playoff contender in the years to come
provided that starting pitching can hold up. The
addition of Mike Johnson will help.,

1969 Mid-Season Report
The Good
--Trying not to sound like too much of a broken record, but I keep getting solid production from 34+ vets.
-- 1B platoon of Roberto Sosa and Steve Tresh much better than expected
--Team defense fairly good
--These old dudes are leading the league in triples.
--1-2-3 bullpen punch of Turk Lown (2.77), Bugsy Malone (2.23), and MVPNBR candidate Bill Rhodes (1.96) have been excellent.
The Bad
--Zig Porter's on base problems with righties.
--Starter ERA's not great. Then again, do any SPs have good ERAs?
--Team only 10th in HRs
--Elwood has apparently forgotten how to play CF.
The Ugly
--nothing yet, but this team keeps getting older and the youngsters to fill the gaps just ain't there. Glad to still be competing, but the fall is gonna be ugly.
