Every night at work

Every night while im at work at Sony DADC here in Terre Haute, i think of my favoritte and really only game i play MLB 08 The Show.

I think of my season, my players, i wish i was home playing it so i could get my much over due season over with. i think about roster moves that i could do, i think about recent games that i have played and the moments that changed my fate in my losses. i start to wonder if maybe i could have done this or that differently and wonder if doing these things would have changed the outcome of said game.

i think about the upcoming release MLB The Show 09, and wonder if any of the things ive listed over the past 2 years here have been put in. i think about what my teams roster will look like. i think about looking to see what the new Mets stadium will look like.

i think about all things the show. then when i get home the first place i go when i get online is here to this site and to the show forums and see what has been posted while ive been gone.

currently my team (The A's) are falling out of the race in the west and in the wild card. i started thinking about this last night and was kinda shocked. in real life the A's actually hung around in the division for a good part of the first half of the season. that is until injuries once again took them apart.

well my season in the show kinda mirrored that, minus the injuries that is. up til August i was sticking with the Angels tight. pretty much staying within three games of them. that is until August that is, this is where my season has collapsed. im under .500 in the month, ive been recently swept by the Angels putting me 9.5 games back of the Angels.

my season may be over as in playoff hunt but i still have just over four weeks to still play, and paly i will. this may be the first game ever that i dont make the playoffs in any, let me repeat that.. ANY baseball game i have ever played that has ever had any sort of post season.

The last game i won the world series in was asb 05. since then i have not won the world series in either MVP 05 nor in mlb the show 07, and now in 08 i will miss the post seaosn entirely.

just goes to show how great this game is, i have never thought that any game could keep me from the post season. man was i ever wrong but im kinda happy about it in a way. just means that i have to try harder and not take this game for grante.

well that is all, bed time for me, for those that have read this ramble i thank you for your time and interest in this.
