Manager Bio: Jake - Wichita Storm

2008-11-13T22:28:00.002-05:00

Here is a bio from our new manager Jake.

My name is Jake and I am glad to become part of the BYOF League. I am married with my wife Regina of 4 years and have 2 teenagers. I reside in Wichita, KS after I retired from the Army after 21 years.

I have been involved with fantasy sports now for about 22 years. I originally got involved with the Scoresheet Baseball and Armchair Sports back in the day. I ventured into the Sim Leagues about 4 years ago in 2 leagues with a great group of guys from ADML.

This has been a testing knowledge of how the game works over the past few years after seeing the BYOF website and league I decided to join. I commend the commish on the great website and upkeep that he does. Best of all, I work with the government and I can still access the site...lol

I hope that by taking over the team I can build it up to hopefully contend in the near future. I am loooking forward to the different league setup and the farm system and it looks like I have more homework to do than I thought.

Again, Thanks for the invitation to join the league and with a little bit of work I think we can turn this team around. Hope to do dealings with you all in the future. Have a good 2009 season of year one of the Wichita Storm under the management of Jake Drake.

NLCS Writeup

2008-10-22T21:20:00.001-04:00

From Alan - Legends

What happens when two teams fighting for the National League pennant are so evenly matched that they were 11-11 this season against each other? Well, if you said “A seven game series” you’d be wrong.

Instead the Lonesome Dove Legends used solid pitching and virtually every bizarre break imaginable to sweep the Philly Smackdown and advance to the BYOF World Series.

“Just when you think you’ve seen everything, you run into a series like this” said 80 year old veteran Roger Clemens, safely tucked into his wheelchair with a warm blanket tucked over his geriatric legs. “I’m just glad the breaks went our way this time.”

The Legends grabbed the momentum quickly, as Johan Santana retired the Smackdown in order and saw his team score three runs in the bottom half. Chase Utley singled, Barry Bonds walked and Albert Pujols loaded the bases on an infield single off Jake Peavy. The big righty then whiffed Carlos Guillen and looked like he might escape the inning cheaply when Carlos Beltran plated a run on a sac fly.

But then Jose Guillen singled in Bonds before Ryan Doumit made it 3-0 with an RBI double.

Santana worked out of trouble for most of the day before giving up a two run homer to Matt Holliday in the 6th. But the Lonesome Dove bullpen made the lead stand up and the Legends won the first game, 5-3. Brian Fuentes calmed a big rally in the 8th and Jose Valverde notched his only save of the series.

Game two was when things really started getting weird. Roy Halladay fell behind crafty righthander Greg Maddux 1-0 in the second inning when Garrett Anderson’s ground out plated Jorge Posada, who had more hits this series than a smutty website gets in a month.

But in the fourth inning the Legends plated all the runs Halladay would need. Utley again started the carnage with a single and Bonds walked. Pujols doubled to tie the game and Maddux loaded the bases by intentionally walking Carlos Guillen. But the tactic backfired when Beltran cleared the bases with a double to the wall in left center for a 4-1 lead. It was one of only two hits would have in 14 at bats in the series.

“I just wasn’t seeing the ball well,” said Beltran. “You have to give their pitchers credit. They made us reach for a lot of bad balls. Thankfully, I was able to get the double right there. If you can’t hit a lot, you need a hit at the perfect time.”

Halladay wiggled out of jam after jam until the sixth inning. Posada singled to start the inning (his third in the game and sixth in a row to that point) and went to third when Chad Tracy hit a ball that looked catchable, but carried over Bonds’ head for a double.

“I lost it in the sun, you b!tches!” yelled Bonds when asked about it after the game. “None of you #$#*s know a #$*#ing thing about baseball. Or about being a man, you queers! Get your dirty #$#*$s away from my leather chair and get out of this locker room!!!”

Posada scored on another Anderson ground out and Dustin Pedroia made it 4-3 with a sac fly. But Halladay retired Mark Loretta to end the carnage. The Legend bullpen made the lead stand up. Jamie Walker induced a rally-killing double play in the 8th inning and Pat Neshek got the final four outs for a save.

So far the weirdness had been mild. But game three could just as well been played in the Twilight Zone as Wrigley Field. The teams traded runs in the early going in fairly normal ways (Posada’s eight consecutive hit was a solo homer over the ivy and Beltran’s final hit of the series was an RBI single).

In the sixth the Smackdown touched up Cole Hamels for run on a Posada single (he had been retired in the 4th inning to break the amazing string). Then the weirdness began to filter into the Friendly Confines.

In the bottom of the 7th, Francisco Rodriguez allowed Kenny Lofton to single. Then the aging speedster thieved second base and took third on an overthrow by Pudge Rodriguez. But Krod didn’t ask him to stop there, promptly balking him home one pitch later.

“I guess I did get into his head,” said Lofton. “You don’t think that’s going to work with a veteran like Krod, so you’ve got to like it when you catch a break like that.”

But the joy of the home fans wouldn’t last long as the Legends struck for three runs in the 8th and nine more in the 9th. Ryan Raburn led off the 8th with a single off Jared Burton and stole second base an out later and went to third on a two out balk. Burton walked Beltran and exited the game for Chris Schroder. Doumit came on to hit for Jose Guillen and loaded the bases with a walk. Jorge Valendia tied the game with a pinch single down the right field line. Then Pudge followed with an RBI single that plated Doumit.

“The balls just seemed to fall for us, all series” said Raburn, who had three hits and scored three runs despite coming into the game in the 8th inning. “Some days are like that. And the hottest team usually wins in the playoffs.”

Lonesome Dove’s big 9th inning was propelled by Doumit’s grand slam and Raburn’s two run homer. Holliday answered with a two run homer of his own in the bottom of the frame but it wasn’t enough. The Legends won 13-5 in a game that they trailed entering the 8th inning.

Peavy came back on short rest to start game 4, facing Clemens, who invented the game of baseball when his fellow Puritans came ashore near Boston in 1620.

Utley greeted Peavy by slamming his second pitch of the game over the wall in right.

“I was ahead 1-0 and looking fastball,” said the reserved second baseman. “Jake is a great pitcher and you usually don’t get a lot of pitches to drive off him. But I got lucky and the ball went out.”

Clemens made the lead stand up, scattering three hits and a walk in seven strong innings, and apparently chugging Geritol between innings like most players quaff Gatorade.

The game was in the balance in the bottom of the sixth when Peavy singled with one out. Lofton singled him to second and the fans started making some serious noise. Clemens called time, turned his hearing aid down and flipped off the hostile crowd.

Then he hung a slider that Scott Hatteberg scorched up the middle. But Utley was shaded that way and turned the liner into a backbreaking double play, catching and stepping on second in the same moment.

“When things go your way, they go your way,” said Utley.

Then in the 8th, the Legends again harnessed the power of bizarre to mount a big rally.

Edgar Renteria singled and stole second base off Justin Germano. He went to third on a fly out before Peter Moylan came on in relief. Doumit drew a walk before Burton came on to relieve Moylan. Burton loaded the bases by walking Utley and forced in a run by walking Bonds.

With the bases loaded and down 2-0, Burton whiffed Pujols but Posada missed the ball, allowing Doumit to score on the K-PB. Since Pujols was out on the strikeout, Burton intentionally walked 1st round hero Timo Perez to reload the bases. Schroder came on and gave up a two run single to Raburn, who had been a defensive replacement earlier.

Down 5-0 the Smackdown got a leadoff homer in the bottom of the 9th from Anderson. And though they had the tying run in the on deck circle, Neshek closed out the 5-1 clincher by fanning Tracy.

“When you see so many freakish things happen to a great team, you have to feel sorry that they are so snakebit,” said Carlos Guillen. “But we knew from the regular season that Philly could run off four wins in a real hurry. So we weren’t going to give them any chances to get back into this thing. We respect them and they surely deserved a better fate than this.”

He was right. Thanks to Noel for playing. His team could easily have swept mine if he’d gotten half the breaks I did. He will be back with a strong team next year and I hope I fare as well the next time we cross swords. But I know I won’t get breaks like this again for a LONG time.

ALDS: BEA vs ALA Write-Up

2008-10-09T22:55:00.005-04:00

Thanks to Mike for the series write-up. Beartooth won 4-0.

Game #1

Jeff Francis (Beartooth) faced Dustin McGowan (Alabama) in game 1. Beartooth teed off for two shots, one by Rowand and another by ARod. Alabama countered with three longballs, two by Prince and one by Alex Ramirez. The game was back and forth until Beartooth scored two in the bottom of the sixth on a single by Junior and then two more in the eighth on a Kelly Johnson triple and an ARod sac fly. Beartooth's bullpen shut down Alabama to hold onto the victory.

Game #2

Aaron Cook (Bearooth) vs John Smoltz (Alabama). Despite being slightly outmatched in the SP department, Beartooth jumped out and all over Smoltz, chasing him by the third inning and held on with a very strong performance by Cook. Final: 6-3 Beartooth.

Game #3

Kyle Lohse (Beartooth) vs Roy Oswalt (Alabama)This game started out as a pitcher's duel with Alabama finally getting to Lohse in the bottom of the 4th on a Ramon Castro two run double. Beartooth didn't let that go unanswered as they knocked Oswalt out in the top of the fifth. The big play in that inning was a Prince Fielder error that loaded the bases with no outs. Beartooth's superb pitching (Lohse thru 6 and 1/3 then Fultz, Corpass, and Greinke) shut Alabama down with only one run in the final 5 innings for an 8-3 victory.

Game #4

Mark Buehrle (Beartooth) vs Andy Pettite (Alabama)Alabama scored one in the bottom of the first to take a short lived lead. Beartooth then jumped all over Pettite in the second to score 4 and take the lead. Pettite then got it back together to keep Beartooth scoreless until the 6th but Alabama couldn't solve Mark Buerhle as he pitched one run ball through 8 innings. Beartooth came back to score five runs spread out over the sixth, seventh, and eighth innings to record a 9-1 victory in sweeping the Braves.

I was very worried by Alabama's starting pitching as was surprised to score so easily against them. Next year looks fairly bright for Alabama however as they add Rich Harden to their staff and their lineup looks to be better. Mike

NLDS: LEG vs FLY Write-Up

2008-10-09T22:49:00.003-04:00

Thanks to Alan from Lonesome Dove for the write-up. Lonesome Dove 4-2.

Game #1

The Lonesome Dove Legends came into the season as one of the favorites to make a deep playoff run. So imagine the terror in South Texas when Dayton rallied to erase an 8-1 Game 1 deficit and send the game into extra innings.

“We thought it would be close,” said Johan Santana, Legends’ Game 1 starter . “But then we jumped way out. So we figured it would be easier than we’d hoped”.

The game was tied 1-1 after four frames but Lonesome Dove plated four in the bottom of the 5th with a three run blast from Edgar Renteria and an Albert Pujols sac fly. The Legends got three more off Dayton starter Derrick Lowe in the 6th on a Pujols three run homer.

Santana whiffed eight Flyers in his 7.1 innings, but left in the 8th. Maglio Ordonez greeted Justin Speier with a two run single for an 8-3 margin. Speier might have gotten into more trouble but Brian Fuentes got the final out on a long fly to minimize the damage.

That was important because Fuentes started the 9th by walking the bases loaded with one out. Jose Valverde came on to finish a suddenly tight game. But despite being solid all season the veteran closer gave up a Norris Hopper sac fly and a three run homer to Ordonez. Then Mike Lowell tied the game with a majestic solo.

“I don’t know what happened”, said Valverde. “I made a good pitch to Ordonez, but he hit it out. I guess that distracted me because I hung a slider to Lowell and he made me pay.”

Both bullpens traded goose eggs until the bottom or the 13th inning. Pedro Feliciano got the first out quickly but then he went to a 3-2 count on Shelly Duncan. The big righty hit the next pitch well over the wall in left to end the unlikely marathon.

“Thank God Shelly bailed me out,” Valverde said afterwards. “I blew one and it almost cost us big time.”

Game #2

Game 2 couldn’t have been more different. John Maine held the Legends scoreless until the 9th inning. Twenty game winner Roy Halladay was snakebitten from the beginning. He gave up hit after hit in the first two innings and even saw a batter reach on a rare catcher’s interference call.

“It was as if everything that could go wrong, did,” said Halladay. “But as bad as it was, it could have been a lot worse”.

He was right. A key double play and several strikeouts with runners in scoring position kept the game within striking distance.

Maine walked Pujols with one out in the 9th before giving way to Mariano Rivera. One out later, Carlos Beltan made it 3-2 with a homer to right, but the Legends couldn’t avoid the loss. Rivera picked up the save.

Game #3

As the series shifted to Ohio, the Texas boys seemed more confident than nervous.

“The Flyers are good, but we think we’re better,” said Beltran. “We knew we would come out fighting as soon as the first pitch was thrown.”

Actually it took a little longer than that. Chase Utley waited for the third of Andy Sonnanstine’s pitches to rake it down the right field line for a double. Then Barry Bonds walked and Pujols popped out. Timo Perez, making his only start of the series, lined a single to right to plate the first run. Carlos Guillen followed with a bleeder single up the middle that was slow enough to allow even Bonds to score.

In the bottom of the first Dayton cut the lead in half on a Miguel Tejada sac fly. But that was the closest the Flyers would get in the game.

Lonesome Dove answered with six runs, half of which scored on a Beltran blast. The Legends pulled away for an 18-5 win, stacking up 24 hits compared to nine by the Flyers. Bonds was 5 for 6 with 5 runs and 4 RBI. Beltran fell a double shy of a and joined Perez and Bonds with 4 RBI of his own. Cole Hamels was the beneficiary of the run support.

“Get the #$#* away from my locker,” said Bonds. “And don’t step on my bearskin rug, you punks. I know you’re all racists. So I won’t #$*#* talk to you @#$*#s.”

Game #4

While Bonds was obviously angry at the world, the Flyers came out angry, too in Game 4. Curt Schilling outpitched young Chad Billingsley. The greybeard wasn’t dominating, allowing eight hits and three walks in seven innings, but he escaped jam after jam as the Legends stranded nine runners in the game. Bonds, Utley and Beltran combined for a 1-11 night.

“What, are you #$*#*s still here?!?!” shouted Bonds after Game 4. “I told you to take your miserable #$*#es out of my locker room!!!”

Tied 1-1 in the bottom of the 4th, JD Drew yanked a solo homer down the right field line to put the Flyers up. Then in the top of the sixth, Beltran tied the game with a single and took third on a Perez pinch single. Schilling intentionally walked Renteria to load the bases and coaxed Pudge Rodriguez into an inning-ending twin killing.

Schilling used another double play to escape trouble in the 8th and then Rivera threw a shutout 9th for a save in the 4-2 win.

Game #5

With a chance to win another in their last game of the series at home, Dayton again turned to Lowe to duel Santana. And for four innings neither of them gave up a run.

“Game five is so pivotal when you’re tied,” said Santana. “It’s a best two of three at that point. And I had to bear down against those big right handed bats they have in that lineup.”

He worked so hard, in fact, that he forgot to pitch to Lowe in the bottom of the 5th. The burly right hander launched a long homer to left for a 1-0 Flyer lead.

“I couldn’t believe it,” Santana said. “He yacked that ball so far you’d think he was an outfielder or something. I just left a slider up and he crushed it.”

As bad as that homer was, it could have been worse. Two batters earlier Victor Martinez had singled to lead off the inning but was erased on a line drive when Pujols snared the screamer and stepped on the bag.

Neither team scored in the 6th but with one out in the top of the 7th Bonds and Pujols both walked. They moved up on an infield ground out before Perez tied the game with another pinch single. Jose Guillen walked to load the bases. Ryan Raburn came on to face Lowe. Dayton countered with southpaw Javier Lopez.

So the Legends sent Damion Easley, who had mauled lefties all year, to the dish with the series in the balance. In a move that some are still pondering, the Flyers chose to walk in the go-ahead run by intentionally walking Easley.

“I’ve never seen that one,” said Easley, smiling. “I’ve been walked to load the bases. But never to walk a run in. I guess I should be proud that they respected me so much.”

The move was gutsy but didn’t work. Ryan Dempster came on to face Pudge Rodriguez but the stocky catcher defied the odds with a two run single. Then Santana plated two more with a triple. When the dust had settled, Lonesome Dove had won 10-1.

Santana went the distance, allowing only five hits, a walk and whiffing 10.

“Don’t let the final score fool you,” he said. “That game could have gone the other way if one or two things happened differently.”

Game #6

Game 6 was not as suspenseful, though. Maine, who had pitched so valiantly in Game 2, couldn’t do it again.

The Legends jumped on him for four runs in the bottom of the first inning and never looked back. The key blow was a bases clearing Beltran double. Pudge later added a three run clout while Beltran, Utley and Carlos Guillen all chipped in solos en route to a 10-0 win.

Halladay scattered 10 hits in eight frames, but used three double plays to get out of trouble.

“This series was a lot like our season,” said Halladay. “We did a lot right, but weren’t as consistent as we had hoped to be. One day we’d set the world on fire with our bats but the next, we’d have to scrape for a couple of runs to stay in the game. Hopefully we can survive the next round.”

Beltran was the series MVP, going 11 for 26 (.423) with three homers, three doubles and a triple. He also scored five and knocked in 11 runs. Pujols was 11 for 23, scored eight and knocked in five. Perez was eight for 13 (.615) with six RBI in limited action.

Thanks to John for playing online. I know it was tough for him to find the time.

Lonesome Dove will now advance to play Philadelphia in the NLCS.

Dayton Wins Tie Breaker in 10 over New York

2008-09-22T22:50:00.005-04:00

The Dayton Flyers won the NL West tie breaker 4-3 in 10 innings over New York. This was a close division all year. Besides being tied for the division they also went 11-11 vs each other. It was only fitting this game went 10 innings.

Congrats to John on winning the NL West title and Greg on a great season. Greg took over a bad team a few years ago and now he is on the verge of the playoffs.
