MLB 10 THE SHOW FRANCHISE PROGRESS THREAD

[Marino]

For people that don't want to keep a franchise thread over in Dynasty HQ, lets get this thread started for here.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
I started my Dodgers franchise today and the season started in Pittsburgh.

Game 1, I got to Zach Duke early with a Manny homerun in the 1st inning. I managed to get some more runs across to make it 5-0. The Bucs tried to make a rally but I managed to shut the door.

Game 2, I could not figure out Paul Maholm. He went 8 2/3 scoreless innings before being pulled for Octavio Dotel. Hiroki Kuroda did well, but gave up a homerun to Garrett Jones which was the difference in a 1-0 game.

Game 3, Kershaw had trouble early on but managed to get out of a stressful 1st inning by getting Andy LaRoche to pop out with the bases loaded. The game was scoreless until the 5th when Andre Ethier hit a rbi single right back up the middle. I added another run in the 7th from an error by their reliever Lopez. Then another RBI single by Ethier.

Sherrill was brought in to the game in the 8th but struggled, so I had to have a 4 out save with Broxton. Manny homered in the 9th to give some more cushion.

So, right now I am 2-1, with a trip to Florida coming up.

Let us know how your franchise is going.

I'm 0-2 with Atlanta.

Lost my first game 4-3 against the Cubs.

Dropped the 2nd game 2-1.

About to drop half my non-hitting, non-fielding team.

Yunel Escobar has no idea how to catch and Chipper Jones CANNOT backhand ANY groundball to save his life on this game.

Really frustrated with the fielding for the second consecutive year. Specifically the auto select of the player on quick line drives through the infield. If it's on the SS side of 2B why are you giving me the 2B???

I'm currently just getting used to the game again right now, but I will probably start one up again in a month or two, once I get the perfect sliders and settings that set me up to win, lose, lose a close one, win a close one, blow the other team out, or get blown out on any given day.

I began my RTTS this morning. Tonight I look to begin my Season mode once my daughter goes to bed, and I can get online.

I am probably going to be the Giants because their stadium is SWEET!!!! I plan to do a 29-game season, because 162 games isn't feasible and I'd like to play multiple seasons.

The Giants are lacking in power, but Lincecum should be fun. Their top 4 players; Lincecum, Cain, Sandoval and their closer are all under 30 which is cool, but they also all have expiring contracts.

14-1 with Milwaukee.

I'd turn up the difficulty if 5 of those weren't in extras and 4 others weren't decided by 1 or 2 runs.

Team leaders:
AVG: Braun (.465)
RBI: Dye (15) (On DL for 2-3 months)
HR: Fielder/Braun (4)
W: Wolf (3)
ERA: Bush (0.00)
S: Hoffman (9)

Starting my franchise tonight with the O's once I get the roster fix downloaded.
