After simming the first season I have arrived at the start of season 2.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are poised for a great season after going 9-7 last year, missing the playoffs. The Steelers had a great free agency and draft over the off-season to build a younger team, yet be just as competitive. This is the current roster via the team Depth Chart:

Division All Star Teams Tournament

Posted on August 18, 2011 at 03:15 PM.

I recently came up with the idea of creating an "all stars" team for each division in baseball. I have not created the teams yet, but each division's team will be set on that last years division winners.

However, I have come up with how the tournament will work. The divisions that participated in last years World Series last year(National League West and American League West) will be given the first round bye. The first round will look like this:
AL CENTRAL (Minnesota Twins) at AL EAST (Tampa Bay Rays)
NL CENTRAL(Cincinnati Reds) at NL EAST (Philadelphia Phillies)

The tournament will follow the format of the MLB Postseason. First round will be a five game series, while the second and final rounds will be seven game series.

I will be starting work on each division's rosters soon and once they are all finished, I will post them on here. Then start the simulations.

Hello OS,
Just one thing. Is there anyone here that would follow a Pittsburgh Pirates franchise?

The Pittsburgh Pirates have won the division with a record of 93 wins and 63 loses. They beat the Florida Marlins with a one game lead over the Saint Louis Cardinals. Pirates take on the Phillies in the NLDS.

Sadly, Andrew McCutchen is injured for the second time this season and with miss the post-season. Then, in an insane plot twist: The Texas Rangers offer the Pirates a trade that we couldn't refuse! Pirates recieve Vlad Guerrero in exchange for two minor leaguers.

And so, the pirates will have a really impressive lineup for the playoffs!

Lineup without DH
1. Lastings Milledge (CF)
2. Joe Mauer (C)
3. Garrett Jones (LF)
4. Adrian Gonzalez (1B)
5. Michael Cuddyer (2B)
6. Vladimir Guerroro (RF)
7. Andy LaRoche (3B)
8. Bobby Crosby (SS)
9. (Pitcher)

Lineup with DH
1. Lastings Milledge (CF)
2. Joe Mauer (C)
3. Garrett Jones (LF)
4. Adrian Gonzalez (1B)
5. Michael Cuddyer (2B)
6. Vladimir Guerroro (RF)
7. Ryan Doumit (DH)
8. Andy LaRoche (3B)
9. Bobby Crosby (SS)

Pitching Rotation
1. Andy Pettite
2. Kevin Hart
3. Zach Duke
4. Ted Lilly
5. Rosh Ohlendorf

Go Buccos! Good Luck!

This will be fun.

Pittsburgh Pirates Playoff Run

Posted on July 2, 2010 at 09:53 AM.

*So, I thought this would be a fun little thing to do. Here it goes*

The Pirates are 66-60 through 126 games of the season and making a run at the playoffs.

Hows that even possible you ask!

Well, you see in the world of MLB 10: The Show, apparently anything is possible! The team picked up six players that management thought would help the team and jeez! They were so right!

The team picked up:

First Baseman- Adrian Gonzalez
Closer- Heath Bell
Catcher- Joe Mauer
Right Fielder- Michael Cuddyer
Starting Pitcher- Ted Lilly
Starting Pitcher- Andy Pettite

And with that the team has gone 15-7 with those additions!

The teams Current Lineup:

1. Andrew McCutchen (CF)
2. Joe Mauer (C)
3. Garrett Jones (RF)
4. Adrian Gonzalez (1B)
5. Michael Cuddyer (2B)
6. Lastings Milledge (LF)
7. Andy LaRoche (3B)
8. Bobby Crosby (SS)
9. Pitchers Spot

However this lineup does not get used much because it seems someone else is always tired and needs to be sat down. Thankfully the bench has been playing great and they have been a huge help!

Bench Players

Ryan Doumit (Catcher, First Base, Right Field)
Akinori Iwamura (Third Base, Second Base)
Ryan Church (Right Field, Left Field, First Base)
Delwyn Young (Outfield, Second Base)
Ronny Cedeno (Shortstop, Second Base, Third Base)

Ryan Doumit and Ryan Church have been the biggest helps right now!

Pitching has also been great! The Ninth Inning seems to be my strongest as the Pirates have Octavio Dotel and Heath Bell to close it out. If one gets into a jam, just bring in the other. It works great!

Well thats all. There will be updates on the team.

Next Game: Cardinals @ Pirates. Game Three. Pirates look for a sweep.
