Strat-O-Matic Baseball 365

Yesterday I was crunching numbers and going to cut Pete to add some offense. So what does he do? Tosses a perfecto last night!! http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/game/424234/364 Guess he gets to stay

Was that good enough to save his job?

Yeah but Brown and/or Clemens probably will lose theirs tomorrow.

Of course he did-it was against Alexander's Zombies.

That is funny. Reminds me when I was young mom passed the old fairlane to me when I turned 16. For 3 years every time that car would act up I would threaten to trade it. Somehow it held up. Then I found my dream car. A shiny used 69 Cougar. Bought it and brought it home. Fairlane quit the next day. Transmission would not allow it to go anywhere. Plenty of fluid and everything just would not go. Somehow the car knew it had been replaced.

Sat in the back yard for well over a year. Then we sold it for $75. Told the guy it was not driveable. But he insisted on giving it a jump anyway. Car started right up, slipped in to drive and he drove it away. 2 years later my brother in law who worked at a muffler shop recognized the car. The guy had been driving it every day with that new muffler being the only repair he had made.

Great story, and one I'm sure we all can relate to!

Dunno if this fits but...

When the grandchildren started arriving, my wife insisted that I get her "a big safe car with side air bags" so she could drive with the grandkids. I got her a top-of-the-line Toyota Camry with four doors, side air bags, etc. and took her neat red Toyota Supra (a beautiful and fast sports car) and traded in my own car. I drove that Supra happily for six years until the turbines blew. They said it would cost nearly $6,000 to replace them, so I traded it in for a less costly Toyota. Just as I signed the papers finalizing the deal, a Toyota manager drove the Supra out of the sales lot to move it to the used car lot and was broadsided by a woman doing 45 mph while talking on her cell phone. Supra was totaled.

I hope someone shot the woman on the cell phone

I think you need to tell Clemens and Brown that their jobs are on the line and see if they produce, too!

Just pulled the opposite trick in my 60s league. Dropped an underperforming Koufax ($10.00) for a much cheaper Chris Short ($6.67) and the new acquisition responded with a no-hitter.
