File and pages are up. Next sim is THURSDAY evening, a 4-day sim to get us to 7/31/1984; get your exports in by 8:00 PM Eastern.
Trade Deadline and Prospect Callups Deadline coming up. Looks like it will be in a couple weeks --- I am not simming after Wednesday/Thursday as I will be on vacation all Christmas week and might as well extend trade deadline --- to probably the 31st. Hopefully by then I'll have a couple new owners by then, that'd be my XMAS gift =)
MAX 38 GS.
PLEASE WELCOME GREEME as the new owner of the EXPOS. Thanks Spencer, 50 points to you. Still looking for an owner for the Reds. I've reached out to Josh re: Orioles.
Breaking News
Monday 7/25/1984: Fernando Valenzuela blanks San Francisco with a 2-hitter
SAN FRANCISCO - San Francisco's hitters looked uncomfortable, and St. Louis' Fernando Valenzuela didn't help them. The left-hander fired his 3rd shutout of the season, a 2-hitter. Valenzuela (12-7) fanned 6 and walked none, throwing 99 pitches. 'They took some ugly cuts at my breaking stuff, so I kept throwing it. Fortunately they were not able to adjust in time.' St. Louis' leftfielder Jeff Burroughs stroked 3 hits in 6 AB, blasting a homerun, scoring two runs and collecting 4 RBI. That was enough to support the brilliant performance of Valenzuela. St. Louis scored 10 runs on 16 hits.
Monday 7/25/1984: Los Angeles (N)'s Calhoun out for 6 weeks
LOS ANGELES (N) - Los Angeles (N) is without its left-hander Jeff Calhoun for at least 6 weeks. He injured himself while throwing a pitch to Dan Whitmer in a game against Cincinnati. His face showed signs of pain immediately after the ball left his hand. Doctors examined him after the game and diagnosed a Pulled Tricep Muscle which will require surgery. Opposing players hit .195 against Jeff this season. While posting an ERA of 2.86 he went 7-4 in 19 starts, fanning 73 and walking 64 hitters.
Monday 7/25/1984: Gray and Washington win Player of the Week award

U.L. was on fire, hitting .440 with 2 HR and 6 RBI. Washington has hit for a .266 average this season. He has 23 extra base hits along with 137 total bases, resulting in a .384 slugging percentage.
