NAMBLA Association

[pbot]

Have completed games through June 5th.

Pittsburgh (31-26) leads Met East by 1 game over Boston.
Phoenix and Seattle (31-26) tied for lead in Met West, two games ahead of Anaheim (SD 28-29, Chicago 27-30).
Buffalo (37-20) leads Great Am East, five games up on Atlanta (32-26) and six on our beloved River Cats (31-26). Orlando is 26-31.
Hawaii leads Great Am West (32-25) by 1 game over Michigan. Portland is 30-27.

League leaders:
Robert Brown (.383 avg) - Chicago
Thomas Tierney (26 hrs) - Chicago
Thomas Tierney (63 rbis) - Chicago

Douglas White (1.99 era) - Boston
Eight pitchers each have 7 wins
David Adams (23 saves) - Buffalo


Closer to home we're 9th in the league in offense (284 runs) but 16th in defense (280 runs). Our everyday lineup is fairly balanced now:
1b John Cobb (.321-3-16)
RF Frank Springfield (.289-17-45)
C Louis Coley (.286-16-36)
3b Alfredo Eyman (.311-12-34)
CF Ray Murray (.324-9-32)
LF John Rogers (.241-12-33)
SS John Holden (.287-2-25)
2b Antonio Higgins (.220-3-35)

SP Jeffrey Coley (no relation to Louis) is 6-2, 3.77. Other starrters are very non-descript. A couple of young AAA starters (Roland Adams and Paul Young) may get a big league callup here if things don't improve in the next few weeks. Youngsters Myron Sipple and Harold Peters are off to go starts in AA and A respectively. They've both been regulars in the PSPN hottest pitching prospect notes.

Wanted to report a couple of crazy games near the end of May...

5/25/00 - I blow an 8 to 1 lead in the 6th to lose to Pittsburgh, 12 to 9.  Mario Garrett, whom I received in a trade from Boston and then traded away to Pittsburgh back in April, hit 3 HR's and knocked in 5 RBI's to help the Steal take one on the road.

5/26/00 - The next night, my bullpen stinks just as bad as the previous night, and I find myself down 6 to 3 heading into the bottom of the ninth. I get one run across the plate and have men on the corners with 2 outs.  Pittsburgh has Carlton Rawlinson on the mound who has yet to blow a save all season.....

Carlton Rawlinson pitches to Roy Garcia
Pittsburgh to attempt a pitchout if the count if appropraite
Pitch 3: (in Play)
HOME RUN TO LF

A walk-off 3-run HR for Garcia, and the first for the Surf Dawgs this season.  We're still 7 games back, waiting for Phoenix to stumble...

[akcranker]

Nice.. I don't think I've had a walk-off HR yet this season.  But I have had 2 grand slams with 1 being by one of my pitchers.

[SittingDuck]

Interesting assn.  Was this made with the default xml or were there some tweaks done to the player creation values?

I'd like to play it, but honestly don't have the RAM at this point.  The insane payrolls are somewhat an issue, too.  But overall, very interesting.

[akcranker]

I believe it's all with the default XML since I didn't download a different xml file.

[PadresFan104]

yes, all default.

[Deltadog]

I think that it is interesting that the first hitter facing Atlanta pitchers in virtually every game so far has lead off with a hit.  In virtually every game the Atlanta lead off man, regardless of who it is starts the game by striking out[:@]

[akcranker]

Okay well this thread has been pretty silent lately so I thought I would update everyone on how my NAMBLA world is going.

My association is at the halfway point, having played 81 games so far.

Okay well so far after managing the first 81 games of the season my Orlando Thunder have gone 40 - 41.

Our top 3 hitters(min 275 AB)-

RF David Calabrese    .335 11 HR 39 RBI
3B Roderick Robinson .324 8 HR 53 RBI
CF Jeffrey Rhodes     .291 5 HR 38 RBI

Our top 3 pitchers(min 90 IP)

#3 SP Jerry Graham   3.73 ERA 75 SO 41 BB
#5 SP Coy Hume       4.04 ERA 70 SO 32 BB
#1 SP Walter Hurwitz 4.29 ERA 89 SO 34 BB

Orlando is in 2nd in the Eastern Division of the Great American League
Phoenix is in 4th in the Western Division of the Metropolitan League with a record of 37 - 44
San Diego is in 6th in the Western Division of the Metropolitan League with a record of 33 - 48
Chicago is in 5th in the Western Division of the Metropolitan League with a record of 36 - 45
Portland is in 3rd in the Western Division of the Great American League with a record of 42 - 39
Las Vegas is in 2nd in the Western Division of the Great American League with a record of 45 - 36

As for the League Leaders, since this will be interesting to compare:

Avg. Werner Velez, California, .353 
HRs Thomas Tierney, Chicago  28
RBI Thomas Tierney, Chicago, 78
SB Jefferey Rhoades, Orlando, 44
OBP James Mitchell, Reno .426

ERA Richard Powley, Pittsburgh 2.05
WINS Andrew Pierce, Washington, Daniel Reece, San Francisco & James Estes, Hawaii 12
SVS Samuel Rumfelt, Washington 28
K's Daniel Eldridge, Las Vegas & Lester Rubio, Reno 133&nbsp; << must have something to do with those gambling cities and striking out at the craps table LOL

Hawaii leads both leagues with a record of 52 - 29.&nbsp; Hawaii leades the Western Division of the Great American League and Atlanta leads the Eastern Division.&nbsp; Washinton leads the Eastern Division of the Metropolitan League and Seattle & Anaheim are tied for the lead of the Western Division of the Metropolitan League.

It's a shame that this thread died.. when I reinstall Puresim again I want to try and start this back up because this was a great association.&nbsp; Hope you other guy's do the same again.

[akcranker]

Well I reinstalled PS2007 and copied over my backup of this association and so far I've managed 2 games.. 1 win & 1 loss..

So I'm wondering.. WHERE ARE ALL THE OTHER GM'S THAT WERE RUNNING THIS ASSOCIATION???
