After 1 week we were 4-1 and I thought, "I really hope the sim doesn't 'let' me somehow have a good team right away." I wanted a somewhat realistic sim of an expansion team from day 1 and not some easy to solve game where it's easy to win.

11 straight losses later and safe to say, no worries about that!

So we are pretty bad. LOL Our bullpen, which was supposed to be a strength and was great in spring training has an ERA of over 8. Not that our starters are burning down the house with an ERA of 5.51,

The one thing I couldn't do prior to the season was hire coaches or trainers, they were already hired and I am worried our trainer is clueless. 17 games in and we have had 5 day-to-day injuries and 2 players placed on the DL. Our base coaches are subpar as well. I'm going to get improvements in after the season at the latest.

We are 5-12 and Colorado is 4-13. In addition my minor league teams are stinking things up. I hope I live long enough to turn things around. Hopefully the #1 or #2 pick next year will be a player who can star quickly...I think A-Rod may be in next years draft.
