I may begin a new blog in the near future. If I do so, I will post the new address to this blog. Any new blog would be geared more toward life in general, though I anticipate there will be several baseball related posts.
For those who are not aware, my wife and I are moving to China in four days. I'm not certain whether I can access Blogger while I'm there. If not, I may have to move to a different page, perhaps even one based in China. Don't worry -- I'll try my hardest to fill it with photos from our adventures in the Far East.

Not dead yet
My project has fallen behind schedule, and will likely continue to do so until around the middle of June. But I'll still be here, and I'll try to post as frequently as possible.
For those who are not yet aware, a group is working on reviving the old Pursue the Pennant board game under the original brand name (i.e. not DLBB, or the free PDF alternative). You can read more here. I never played the PtP board game, but will probably start after my upcoming stay in China.
One more thing: I just saw this auction on the Table Top Sports forum. Looks like a scam to me. EBay scammers are easily discernible by their poor English skills, incredible promises and strange "strings" tied to the item. Seriously, if this guy really wanted $50,000 that bad, he might as well join the crowd and start counterfeiting old Ty Cobb and Joe DiMaggio cards.

Posting Hiatus Continued
I recently bought a used copy of the 1985 Strat-o-matic cards on Ebay. I got them yesterday and played my first game, Cardinals at Mets, today. Dwight Gooden struck out 16 in a complete game win. It was a lot more entertaining than playing with the newer (2005 and 2007) Strat seasons. I just get so tired of changing pitchers every inning! Anyway, now I own both the '85 APBA and Strat seasons. Gooden's Strat card is just simply wicked, with Ks all over columns 4 and 6, and that A&C XY APBA card (I think there's also a Z, but I don't have the card in front of me) is pretty intimidating, too.
Anyway, until Sunday!

It's a bit late now, so my writeups weren't especially good. My apologies.

Down 3-1 in their half of the 8th,
With the score knotted at 3 in the top of the 10th inning, the hapless Merchants suddenly exploded for four runs. Two walks, a double, another walk, a single, and
Dale Murphy hit a three-run shot in the bottom of the tenth to bring the score within one, but it proved to be too little, too late. And thus, Vida Blue’s excellent start (three hits in seven innings) was wasted, and the chance to capitalize on a
