speaking of this... ruben sierra is a god in new york in my game. i've been starting him every game because i just own with him. i wait for the inside fastball and crush it to rightfield.
i had just played the red sox and it was a 0-0 game in the 8th inning. two singles and BAM! ruben sierra works his magic again and i win 3-0. unbelievable. he's got 18 homeruns playing about half a season's worth of at-bats. and stats are pretty realistic.
a-rod is hitting .303-38-117 with a game left. sheffield's at .288-30-109. posada's at .301-20-79. only guy who i expected a big year out of who's not really producing is matsui, who's at .292-20-79. and something weird: randy johnson, although not striking out batters at an alarming rate, is third in the league with 196 strikeouts, and has a 2.83 ERA, but is 16-12 because of low run support. my offense has been terrible all season long, but i have what would be the best pitching in major league history. i've only allowed 550 runs all season. rivera has 47 saves with a 2.31 ERA, tom gordon is 10-1, paul quantrill is 11-4. tony womack was sucking huge for me, so i dealt him and unhappy young reliever scott proctor to florida for luis castillo, who's been slumping, but is still an upgrade, and hits leadoff.
kevin brown started to suck and then got hurt, so tanyon sturtze has been 11-5 in his place as my fifth starter with a 3.36 ERA, and brown has been making decent appearances out of the bullpen every now and then. i put him on the block, but of course nobody wanted him. my best pitcher: carl pavano, who's 18-5 with a 2.73 ERA.
this game is fucking sweet. i can't wait to see what the off-season is like.
