NLD XXXVI - The Fun Continues

Starting to get uneasy about GMAC. Is he really going in with that much money to spare? I think transactions cut off in less than two hours without penalty.

Well, no moves from gmac. Just the usual last minute change by AT.

Away we go!

Big edge to the rest of the east. I don't get it.

The few things I liked about opening day

The PNC team out HR a Coors team 4 to 3

No errors

9 out of 10 on X Outs

.274 team BA with .425 SLUG

Things I didn't like

My pitcher cards had 43 out of 122 rolls (36% pitcher cards) with Bumgarner going 16 to 7 rolls in favor of the hitters

7 base running opportunities with 0 successful advances - Raj Davis nailed at the plate by Gardner

Squandering multiple base runners in Games 1 + 3 and not getting the mojo going

Eye of the beholder I guess. I look at it as Kershaw giving up 11 hits to a PNC team, Donaldson committing 3 errors in the series, leaving 26 runners on base in the series, giving up 3 wild pitches, and blowing 2 8th inning leads and losing one of them in extra innings.

True

Probably why Anibal Sanchez is smiling today after facing 20 LHs out of 29 hitters and lived to talk about it. Besides I'm pleased with the results in keeping your team in the park and not trotting around the bases waving at the camera.

I don't find Anibal too incapable against LH'ers....If you got to face Burnett or Odorizzi you may have had much better luck.

It was a fun opening series, I look forward to hosting you guys in a few days.

While we're throwing out first series numbers:

- Game 1 we scored one run on a solo HR.
- Game 2 we hit 5 HRs and only scored 7 runs! 4 solos. I'm afraid that may be the case for us. Hoping that we can time those HRs better going forward. We *did* manage to win that one in extras!
- Game 3 we hit 3 HRs and scored 4 runs. Two solos
- Summary 8 HRs , 12 runs every run scored on a homer.
- I should be very happy to be 2-1 after hitting .196 for three games and allowing 3 unearned runs.
- Fielding we were 10 for 14. Not great
- Die rolls were close for hitters, slight advantage for Smokey against my pitchers
- Lost Gio for six games. It will be interesting to see what Hal does with his next start.

I wonder what is up with gmac. No sign of him with 8 mil in cap sitting there.

9 homers. But who's counting? Left 28 on myself. That I did count, unfortunately.

Oops, yes, 9 HRs. I can't add.

Yes, we only left 15 OB. We were very fortunate to win the series.

If GMAC doesn't use his remaining funds, can I borrow them?
