Re #121: What, you’d prefer Andy Benes winning one?

#113,

Sele winning a playoff game?

Now THAT is the worst simulation ever.

How about Sele throwing a complete game with only 1 K? That sound’s like 2005 Sele, not 2001 Sele.

Re 113: The most believable part of that game is Joey Cora hitting a home run off Sele. Somehow that is easier to believe than Boone going 6 for 8 with 6 RBI.

98 – I like this part:

Joey Cora gets walked. [1] Ken Griffey Jr. hits a groundball single to RF. [12] Edgar Martinez hits a flyball double down the LF line.

#113:
EC, that is classic! But how would ‘01 Lou react to ‘95 Lou kicking bases, throwing hats, covering home plate with dirt and whatnot?

Maybe the fact that Buhner and Edgar are retired/stayed with the M’s and Griffey’s barely played since we traded him allows them to be collectibles.

The one thing on bashing the M’s for not giving Randy the contract he deserved is that he’d already told them he wasn’t re-signing with Seattle–he was that bitter at Armstrong. He’d even tried to get them not to pick up his option for ‘98 so that he could leave sooner. It wouldn’t have mattered what Seattle offered him, he was going to Arizona, where he made his home year-’round.

So game 3: Sele vs. Bosio.

See what I was saying about pitching depth? I imagine Lou got tossed from the ‘95 team by the 6th inning.
