Texas Shuts Out Minnesota 7-0!
Tim’s Texas team sent Minnesota to a seven run loss with a shutout, 7-0. No balls left the park, although leadoff hitter Ken managed a two run inside-the-park-homerun during a four run third inning that opened up a 5-0, insurmountable lead. While Texas’ pitching did manage 5 K’s, their pitching wasn’t as dominating as expected for a rare shutout. The game mirrored Monday’s matchup between S.F. and Oakland, in that the losing team always seemed to be hitting the ball right at a fielder and the winning team had perfectly placed hits.
“I think Davey’s getting a taste of what I got yesterday.” said manager Tim. “A seven run loss is never fun, but it’s even more frustrating getting shut out.” Davey’s Minnesota team, last seen on the winning side of a slugfest in the first ever night game, couldn’t muster a single home run and kept missing opportunities to fight back. Double plays ended a number of innings and with only two extra-base hits (both doubles), they rarely saw themselves in a position to score.
Tim: Wins by 7 runs ($0.25 + $0.35), 5 K’s ($0.25), 1 HRs ($0.05), Shutout ($2.00) = $2.90
Davey: nothing = $0.00
Total: Davey owes Tim $2.90
Lifetime: Davey owes Tim $0.80
Series Lifetime: Davey 5, Tim 5
K’s Lifetime: Tim: 45, Davey 57
HR Lifetime: Tim 17, Davey 20

Hey, are you guys still playing? I have to agree with you, this is one of the best baseball games ever created.
Yep, still playing every day. Just not tracking stats and posting results anymore (takes too long). I’m planning on developing the site more though, and possibly starting a public league eventually too.
I’d be interested in setting something up! email me and let me know…
Can you alter stats / names in the game? I saw the Lunar IPS there but that only allowed me to patch the night beta you had…
I’ve tried altering stats and haven’t had much success. I THINK changing names is possible, but haven’t messed with that yet.
