Both strikers Morgan & Gornell scored for Shrewsbury Town leading to a 2-0 victory. Morgan's goal in the 29th minute was set up by a great cross by MF Wildig. Gornell was able to get behind the defense on a great pass that was nearly offside by CB Jones. This marks the 3rd straight goalless game for York City.

Gillingham scored in the 42nd minute (Jackman) and then hung on as time expired. This marks the second clean sheet in a row against York City who's coach said, "We've got to find a way to score more goals. It's impossible to win if you can't score."

Burton Albion took control of this game late in the 1st half with a goal by Zola in the 42nd minute. Phillips quickly followed up with a goal of his own in the 56th minute, putting the game out of reach for York City. It could have been 3-0, but a missed penalty shot by Kee in the 73rd minute held the score at 2-0.

Despite a red card for CM Jonathan Smith in the 41st minute, York City beat Dagenham & Redbridge 2-0 in their League 2 game. CM Scott Kerr (OVR 57, Age 30) opened the scoring in the 25th minute. Substitute ST Oli Johnson came into the game in the 60th minute, replacing starter Scott Dobie, and came through 11 minutes later, despite being down a man. York City's first 3 points of the season leave them in 12th place. While it's still well too early in the season to determine if this place will hold, it's a promising sign that they've gotten points early in the season. Jonathan Smith will serve a 1 game suspension on 8/14 against Burton Albion. This will likely mean that ST Jason Walker will get the start and York City will switch to a 4-3-3.

In an outcome that should have surprised no one, Bolton breezed past York City in the first round of the Capital One Cup 2-0. MF Spearing scored both goals for Bolton in the 43rd and 65th minutes. York City was simply outmanned in this game and were the deserving loser.

Oxford United opened with a goal in the 1st minute on a penalty kick. 6 minutes later, York City responded with a goal by LB Danny Blanchett (OVR 58, Age 24). A yellow card in the 16th minute, followed by a red card in the 41st for CM Michael Potts (OVR 56, Age 20) may have ultimately sealed York City's fate. Playing down a man for the entire second half, York City allowed in inevitable goal in the 71st minute, sealing their fate on their opening League 2 contest this year.

York City finishes its preseason with a 2-0 win over Szczecin. ST Ashley Chambers (OVR 57, Age 22) scored the first goal in the 34th minute on a great cross into the box from ST Scott Dobie. The 1-0 lead held until the 77th minute when ST Jason Walker (OVR 55, Age 28) ended Szczecin's hopes of scoring the equalizer. Onward to the nPower League 2 season where it is expected that York City will finish near the bottom of the table. The roster appears to be a little thin, particularly at the midfielder position. It does not appear that York City will be able to address this through the transfer market as their transfer budget is down to $70,000 and a remaining wage budget of $2,000. York City has invested most of their transfer budget into building a youth program and it is expected that it will be at least a year or 2 before any of these players can make it to the senior squad.

Santa Catarina took an early 2-0 on goals by Diogo and Niell in the first 25 minutes. CM Lee Bullock responded with a goal of his own from just outside the box in the 33rd minute to conclude the scoring in the 1st half. The glimmer of hope faded quickly however, as Pittoni scored in the 63rd minute for Santa Catarina, followed by his 2nd goal in the 79th. York City moved to a 4-3-3 from a 4-2-2 in this game, and after giving up 4 goals are questioning that decision. "We might have to go back and reevaluate our formation while we have these injuries in the midfield," the York City manager said.

sonsart2 on July 28, 2013 at 07:00 AM.
A goal in the 69th minute by ST Ashley Chambers was all York City needed to win over SD Huesca. However, starting midfielder Jonathan Smith was injured in the friendly with a strained quad and is expected to be out for 3 weeks. Youngster Patrick McLaughlin (CM, OVR 5, Age 21)is likely to take his place in the lineup, although there has been some speculation that York City might move from a 4-4-2 to a 4-3-3 and add ST Jason Walker (OVR 55, Age 28 to the lineup. York City has considerably more depth at the front, and my be the impetus to alter their formation.

Yeah, I didn't want to make it too late. There's plenty of rounds, but I think a HS player being drafted that late is pretty late because they have leverage (they can always opt to go to school).

jhendricks316 on June 23, 2013 at 06:13 PM.
Team NotesDoctors say that Cueto should only miss a week with the strained quad. He will miss one start; Mike Minor will take the mound in Cueto's place. For now, Cueto remains inactive on the 25-man roster. A DL stint is unnecessary.

jmaj315 on June 23, 2013 at 05:58 PM.
hopefully he continues to do well, I really like those 'diamond in the rough' guys, especially when i can tell my friends that I'd heard about him first lol... and maybe im just really optimistic in thinking that the 13th round isnt that bad of a spot to go in? how many rounds are there anyways?

Interesting philosophy for your squad! I also used to be terrible at drawing walks in the game. However, I REALLY worked at being patient and trying to focus on the ball coming out of the pitchers hand (height, speed, and angle). That gives a rough indication if the pitch will be a ball or strike. It seemed to work for me, too. In Season 2 of my 'chise, my team was 4th in the league in walks, and now in Season 3, my team is ranked 1st in BB (13 ahead of the next best team!). And yes, your strategy DOES indeed tire out the pitcher. And very quickly, too, I might add. It's worth your while to try and become as patient as possible (it also means more base runners for you, meaning more scoring opportunities!).

After July:"Theo, how do you feel about the trades you've made?"
"I feel pretty good about them and I think we will be a real competitor in a few years"
"Was it hard trading all those guys, especially 7 year Cub Alfonso Soriano"
"It's always hard, but it was best for the team, so we had to do it"
-----------------------------
July: The Trading month
With Soriano on the trading block he has been rumored to Pittsburg, LAA, and the Giants, but out of the three teams, he went to the Giants for a good return for the Cubs!
Cubs trade: Alfonso Soirano
Giants trade: Chris Heston, Erik Surkamp
Harriston has been on the trading block since the beginning of the year, and was being rumored to go to Pitt, but he really went to the Angels in a deal for youn MIFer Yarbrough
Cubs trade: Scott Harriston
Angels trade: Alex Yarbrough
Matt Garza, the Cubs ace was not an expected canadate to be traded, but he was placed on the block anyways. Teams interested were the Phils, Reds and Nats, but he went to the Red Sox.
Cubs trade: Matt Garza
Red Sox trade: Allen Webster, Drake Britton and Bryce Brentz

Kostitsyn -> 3rd RW
Smith -> Starting Goalie
Rinne -> Backup

RagingTrav on May 24, 2013 at 05:05 AM.
*28-Nov* Scoring is still difficult to come by and as a result Nashville sit outside the playoffs. I've decided to trade block Legwand, Rinne and Gaustad to try and bring in a top offensive prospect. I've also shuffled the lines around, dropping under performing players down to lower lines.
