To write
about my team all the time I'm sure is boring for others to read, so I'm
looking to resurrect a feature that Martin Abresch (original Seattle Sasquatch
GM) and that was where he went through the scores and stuff for the SIM and put
out little tidbits that he stumbled over. This will all be time dependent
and if I can't get one out, that episode will be missed.
I will say
I'm open to suggestions, tips, heads-up, about stuff I might miss. I will
have an addendum section for stuff missed in a previous SIM, but I retain all
editorial and content that appears.
So, before
I start, to keep things coordinated, I'm going to need Jason to rename his
SIM's that he puts out to just the Regular Season, and not include the ST
games.
Without any
further ado, here we go
SIM #1
HIGHLIGHTS
HOUSTON,
WE HAVE LIFT OFF
The expansion Houston Apollo's have done something that longstanding Jersey has not done, and that's hold sole possession of 1st place after Opening Day. Latiluppe pitched a complete game shutout over SF - including a 26 minute rain delay. All 6 other Billy Martin Division teams lost on Opening Day except for Houston.

opener) postponed due to bad weather (April 12th).

San Francisco was also cancelled due to bad weather (April 10th) with a
double header scheduled for the next day.

with the expansion & opening day theme, Oakland Storm Chasers grabbed their
first win and first TEAM shutout in franchise history on Opening Day, blanking
Georgia Gray's 2-0 in Oakland.
LIGHTS
OUT #2
SoCal
unfurled thier 2025 Championship Flag, handed out their Championship Rings, and
welcomed some new faces to the squad this year. They also had the ball to
Jose Gallegos who capped off the fans treat with a complete game 1 hitter vs
Minnesota. The no hitter and shutout were lost in the 8th inning when
William Cunningham launched a 410' HR.
STRETCH,
STRETCH, STRETCH

LEEDER
THE LEADER
Gerard Leeder, San Diego was on fire going 3 for 3 with a HR, 4 RBI a BB and 2 RS, but it still wasn't to get the win over Dallas. After San Diego gets 3 in the 9th to make it 5-3 the Hops get 2 in the 9th and walk off in the 11th.

Kiyonobu

KEEP 'EM
COMING
Chicago might not have won their opener, like their counterparts had, but they become the first team to score in every inning of a game.

PASS OUT
SOME CIGARS
Havana walks off vs SoCal 5-4 on this day. Anytime we can get cover a walk off win and a SoCal faux pas, we're gonna cover it.

CAN I
GET A HIT?
Yes, but just 1. The second 1 hitter of the season also has a SoCal connection. This time Anthony Atkinson of Jacksonville records the gem, but also gets the shutout - and he needed to, as the final score was 1-0. Atkinson gave up 1 H, and 6 K's in the win.

HOW
ABOUT 5?
Todd
McCarthy rips Maple like a hot knife thru syrup, going 5 for 5 with a HR, 4
RBI's, 2 RS and a BB for the Player of the Day Award in Kansas City's
10-9. Kansas City won this game in the 11th inning after taking 9-8 lead
