CARDS N DICE

Way back in 1965 about this time of year I went to my friends house to hang out. Now in those days we didn't have computers at home so everything was manually. They were playing a game of something called Strat-o-matic baseball. It had cards and dice. Now even then I loved cards, especially ones that did something like be in a game. Right away I sent for this game, which was only 3 years old. I was truly excited when it came and the rest is as they day history. I now have been play this game for 44 years only now its primarily on computer. Thats not to say I couldn't go back but why when the computer is so good. Anywho every year Iget out the cards n dice to play a game like the old days. It was particularly nostalgic when my oldest son Pat called. He is graduating from IUPUI. But I remember the days when he would sit on my lap and roll the dice. Sniff,Sniff! give me a moment.
Well this year in an effort to keep current with the new players who aren't on drugs. Boo to Manny Ramirez. In refernce to Tom's latest entry he would be on my punch in the face list. So would KFC, and CIB in Indy (capitol improvement board) plud 5th/3rd bank.
Anyway I joined a league that is in its 2005 season. I took the new york yankees who are in a non Dh section of the league. By the way 2005 is the 40th set since my beginings. First I had to cut down to 18 players then draft 17 new ones. I just finished yesterday. So today I played cards n dice game of rookies and regulars with Strat. I won't bore you with rosters but the Regs took it 4-1. It was a game that took 39 minutes including a call from Pat. The rookies were led by Robinson Cano who had 2 hits and a run scored. The 3 stars like in hockey go to 1 Javy lOPEZ, 2 runs hits, 2 bi including a double and the games only Homer.2nd star Chad Tracy also 2 hits and a walk. 3rd star Daniel Cabrera who hurled 8 and 1/3 innings of 5 hit ball allowing 1 run and striking out 14. Kinda of a career day for him. Goat of the day goes to WilliMo Pena who went 0 for 4 and struckout 4 times. Okay Tom I played my game, where is your results?
