J-Lo's MLB 09 The Show Thread

And the game freezes upon exiting the game and I lose the entire thing. If you need me I will be the one in the back yard shooting his PS3 with an AR 15

Did you win or lose?

[bulldogs1159]

Read the last post on the previous page. The game was epic.

Varitek throws the ball into center

I'll be surprised if you don't have 5+ SB a game.

Awesome game though. Wow.

[msubulldogs21]

So did you just sim Game 3 to where you win?

[bulldogs1159]

So did you just sim Game 3 to where you win?

Yea, cause I already played it and won. I didn't want to play the whole thing again and lose.

Yeah, I don't blame you there.

Can we expect Game 4 later tonight?

[bulldogs1159]

I went ahead and finished the series and I went to the next day after the WS and it went to the offseason and I lost all my box scores but here is what happened.

Game Four
Red Sox     3
Cardinals    5
W: Pedro Martinez  L: Wakefield  S: Franklin

It took me three innings but I finally was able to sit back long enough to the knuckleball and hit two HR to take a 4-0 lead in like the 4th and held out till the end.

Game Five
Red Sox   9
Cardinals  2
L: Carpenter W: Beckett

Just dominated from the word go.

Game Six:
Cardinals  12
Red Sox    2
W: Grienke  L: Smoltz

Grienke had a shutout going into the 9th where he finally gave up 2 runs and I put in Jess Todd to close the game and the series out.

World Series Champs!

Returning the 2004 sweep the Sox on the Cards.

Awesome man.

How is the off-season looking? You messing around with that now?

Its different. I'm almost done with it now. I have some interesting signings/trades.

Alright. Give us the updates and stuff when you finish.

Were we right in thinking the younger guys actually go to arbitration like we talked about?

[bulldogs1159]

Yes, you can offer arbitration and a regular contract. I didn't have anyone opt for arbitration tho.

Bako and Johnson are going to be in AAA and I know Sweeny will be in AAA. Right now Gonzo is the only one I am going to keep on the MLB roster come the start of the regular season.
