HOUSTON WINS IT ALL

[naw1118]

Astros win it in thrilling game seven...In a Strange twist it was clemens Vs david wells, the men traded for eachother,who was aquired b4 the trading deadline.Moises alou went 3-5 with 2 hrs and 5 rbi to lead the 'stros to a 11-8 win...lol hopefully that could happen this year in real life and not just in my game..p.s daryle ward was the NL rookie of the year with a .408 53 147..and larry walker won the triple crown .412 80 212

(bagwell was .374 74 208)

naw - What was your record and what difficulty level did you have it set at?

1st year player Pro diffculty record of 101-61 (13-5 IN POST SEASON) Injury bug was a pain losing elarton for the year and hidalgo and Cammy and alou for about 30 games each, biggo for 17 and cedeno for the playoffs other than that no cignificant injuries( 1-15 days) but hidalgo came back in game four of teh series and hit a Homerun on his 1st ab nice comeback huh..lol

Nice Job! Those are some sick offensive numbers to put up. With guys hitting like that, yet you won only (use the term loosely) I assume the pitching staff was not as impressive?

And you mention the injury "bug" - Caminiti, Alou, and Elarton all have been hurt either this year or recently. I wonder if somewhere their is an injury/durability rating that we can't see - but determines injury time? For instance in my manage only league (4 seasons), ARod has been hurt in each season for a varying amount of time. Coincidence or something else?
