Indians @ White Sox

[PIP]

I was born in 89 can you tell me of any decent seasons they've ever had? The only player I beleive they had that was worth a shit was Yost or w/e it is..

Well I believe they were American league champs in 82 (the year I was born)..

In the 80's and early 90's they fielded players such as Robin Yount, Paul Molitor, and a young Gary Sheffield...

In 97 or 98 they moved to the national league, and just like they did in the American league for the most part, they've sucked...

Which brings up the question, how bad would they be in the far tougher AL of today? I think the Devil Rays would be circling the dates on the calendar that they got ahold of these guys. I mean..I'd put money on the Orioles to beat the Brewers..

Milwaukee should just give up on sports.

That's right mister, and I loved every minute of it. Harvey Kuehn was our manager and the squad was dubbed "Harvey's Wallbangers". The lineup was nothing short of vicious!

Molitor...... .300 plus hitter at 3b. Nicknamed "The Ignitor"
Yount....... Two time AL MVP at TWO positions (ss/cf). Hall of famer
Cooper...... Dr. Longball. 1b with .300 avg 30 plus knocks and over 120rbi
Thomas..... "Storman Gorman". 45hr guy before steriods. CF.
Oglivie...... 30plus knocks out of lf (once hit 45). Thin and powerful.
Simmons... Switch hitting catcher with 25hr power and high average
Gantner.... "Gumby" was the glue guy. Stellar D at second base
Money...... Big power hitting DH
Moore...... Backup Catcher and right fielder. Weakest link.

Staff Ace....Pete Vukovich
Closer..... Rollie Fingers (handlebar mustash). Hall of Famer

The "True Blue Brew Crew" rallied from an 0-2 deficit in the ALCS to defeat Rod Carew (he of the .400 batting average) and the Angels 3-2 on a clutch 9th inning two out, two run single by Cecil Cooper scoring Gantner and Moore.

The Crew went on to lose the World Series in 7 games to the Cards. Catcher Darryl Porter did the most damage to the crew. Game 7 ended fittingly in a down pour in St. Louis with Bruce Sutter striking out Gorman Thomas for the last out.

The Tribe has played 57 playoff games since that great Brewers run in 82 and played in a couple of world series...

They've broke it down, and rebuilt another team that is still better than the CREW..

The Tribe built a contender in 4 years where as the CREW has taken 24 years.

This coming from a place that's never even sniffed an NBA title and haven't won in football since Jim Brown called Cleveland home. You idiots couldn't even keep Manny Ramirez, Spit Boy, and a productive Carlos Bearga.

Gotta love big Jim...

I can't hate on that, Thome was my favorite Cleveland Indian (along with David Justice)

That was a bommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmb

Lepip, you need to set your baseball lineup for tomorrow. You don't have your pitchers set right. You've got them on the bench and not in the starting lineup.

 

[PIP]

Yeah I was over there and looking at that... I didn't realize I had Cabrera as a pitcher :thumbdown .. In the words of Hawk Harrelson :"HE GONE"

Too be honest, I have no idea about the rules, scoring system and how the whole fantasy baseball operation works...

 

[TJ_4_CV31]

I thought it was going to be head to head like basketball but it's rotisserie style. Everything is cummulative in the catagories listed on your team page. Since there is a daily lineup set, you want to make sure that you put in your backups whenever one of your starters is not playing. For instance today I took out starting catcher Joe Mauer and played AJ Piersynski because the Twins didn't have a game today. Had I not done that, I wouldn't have received credit for AJ's base hit and rbi.

Once your players start playing, you'll figure things out. You'll have to do it fast because there are some experienced players in this league and being a bottom feeder is for suckers like CDT. He'd probably draft Henry Blanco #1 overall. :chuckles:

First day on the job, and I must say, the tribe totally sucked..
