Just for fun...

The other night I had some free time so I loaded up my video game......

MLB Baseball 2005

and created my own cubs Lineup

 

YOUR 2005 CHICAGO CUBS STARTING LINE UP IS:

C Barrett

1B DLee

2B A. Soriano

SS Garciaparra / Izturis

3B A. Ramirez

LF CLee

CF Pierre

RF Sosa

 

AND NOW... YOUR 2005 CHICAGO CUBS PITCHING STAFF IS:

 

Big Z

Big Unit

Smoltzie

D-Train

Prior

Kid K

Howry

Eyre

M. Rivera

Dotel

Wagner

The Farns

 

 

Then after creating this lineup I played a game against the Brew Crew.

My starting pitcher was Smoltzie.

 

The game went 12 innings.. with a final of 1-0.

 

Smoltzie went 11.1 innigns while throwing 109 pitches and punching out 20. Then I brough the Big Unit in from the pen....and he struck out 2.

 

 

 

 

 

Believe it or not...... I lost the game one a single to left with men at the corners in the top of the 12th...the run was charged to Smoltzie... but the Big Unit allowed the run to score from 3rd.

 

 

The irony of all this is...... that I play this game THE SAME NIGHT the Cubs played a single game double header against the Astros.

I am also MVP-ing it up right now. My Lineup is:

 

Justin Upton (traded for him when he was in the minors)

Eric Patterson

Sammy Sosa (Ok so maybe I edited him to make him a little better...so what)

Aramis Ramirez

Derrek Lee

Miguel Cabrera (For some reason Florida accepted Pierre/rusch/some Minor leaguer for him)

Michael Barrett

Pie

Pitcher

 

Bench:

Walker

Blanco

Harvey

Burroughs

 

Rotation:

Z

Prior

Wood

Santana

Liriano

 

Ok so let me explain that rotation, after the 05 season in my game, Murton and Cedeno both had outstanding years, so I traded them (and rich hill, and one other whom i cant remember) for Santana, and liriano who was still in the twins minors.

 

Bullpen:

Jerome Williams

Kyle Farnsworth (traded Howry for him)

Greg Maddux

Angel Guzman

Scott Eyre

Ryan Dempster

David Aardsma

hmmm...

 

my guess is 160 and 2.

 

Z wins everystart with a .56 ERA

 

every other guy wins 20+

 

since you edited Sosa he hit .411, 88 HR, 203 RBI's.

 

every other guys hits .300 + 30+ HR 100+ RBIS

 

you lose one game because a fan catches a sure foul out down the left field line.

 

and you lose the other one because of a key error, in a 7th run inning...

 

and we sweep though the playoffs. and win world series...

 

hey you can always dream...

I didnt OVER edit sammy. I moved his contact up to about 85 vs righties and 86/87 vs lefties, and put his power to 90 vs both. Thats not too far away from what he was at one time...years ago.

 

Anyways, right now I am 24-1 this year. My one loss? A 1-0 loss against the cardinals in game 2 of the season :(

I havent started a season yet..lol

[Roast]

OHH booya. Just got done beating the DiamondBacks 2-0 on a strong pitching performance by Johan Santana. A Homer by Sammy, and then a Sac Fly by Pie accounted for the scoring.

 

EDIT: Stupid selfish sammy only hitting solo HR's

[muntjack]

Just curious, what difficulty level are you guys on?

 

I don't have an easy time posting 50 HR 150 RBI seasons on the hardest level, but It's more realistic that way.
