New York(AL) advances to the world series, beating Baltimore 4 games to 2. The Browns won the 1st two games on the road and were looking to be in good shape when NY staged a 9th inning 4 run rally to win game 3. Then the Creatures swept in Balt. and went home to finish the series off in game 6.

But the story in the Series was pitching - yours in the first 2.5 games and mine in the last 3.5.
I would give the ALCS MVP to Saunderson, he played great, very clutch:
-Game 2: scored the tying run in the 6th inning of an eventual 3-2 loss
-Game 4: Went 4-for-5 with 2 runs and 3 RBI, including a game-winning 3-run HR in the 7th
-Game 6: Went 3-for-4 with a 2-run HR in the 3rd, and then had an RBI double and scored in the 5th to put the game out of reach

Thanks - it was a hard-fought series by both sides. I was victimized by my normally solid defense (2nd in Fielding % and first in +/-) with a decisive unearned run in Game 2, and 4 more in key spots later on, such that 5 of the 19 runs NY gave up were unearned. I also gave up quite a few "minus" defensive plays.But the story in the Series was pitching - yours in the first 2.5 games and mine in the last 3.5.

DYNASTY! Wow, I need to pay better attention to your formula (though I suspect you may be heading toward rebuilding a bit due to age?).Well done and good to have the champs still in the AL!

With only one notable (and fully expected) retirement, the Creatures will try to charge on to a second Three-peat this decade. If I could have gotten some more hits vs. Brooklyn's (formidable!) pitching in the 2005 Fall Classic, I'd be trying for 7 straight this year - but of course, I attribute a lot of my success to my friend ABE :o I've seen much better teams in TCL not get lucky enough to win 5 out of 6, that's for sure.

Congrats again, 5 titles during this run is very impressive. One thing I've noticed is that aging teams full of vets well past their prime still win a large % of World Series in SimD. I fully believe ABE has some kind of bias toward teams that get held together rather than going into full-blown rebuild. In fact my new approach will be to keep playing till my team doesn't make the playoffs, then tear it down. But not until then.Pages: 1
