1969 SOM AsPlayed Replay and more

This blog started in 2011 with my attempt to manage the 1969 Detroit Tigers to an AL Championship. Just finished my 1987 asplayed replay (using SOM Baseball 2013 with the cards). As always I managed the Detroit Tigers and succeeded in winning the World Series. 1987 was put on hold while I 'played along' with the 2013 MLB season, so it took over a year to complete. In the 'Favorite sites/links' section are blogs for other seasons I've done: 1911, 1934, 1950, 1971 and more. (View blog fullscreen)

1987 AL News Recap: August 15th

The Detroit Tigers are 9-1 their last 10 games and have overtaken the Toronto Blue Jays for the top spot in the AL East. The Tigers bullpen has struggled all year but their starting pitching has been getting the job done. Two days ago, Detroit announced that they had obtained Doyle Alexander from the Atlanta Braves to bolster their pitching staff. He'll join the rotation and get his first start tonight in Kansas City.
The Seattle Mariners and Minnesota Twins continue to flip-flop for the top spot in the AL West with the surprising Mariners currently leading the Twins by 1 game. The Oakland A's have been making a run and are now in 3rd place, only 2 games behind.
George Bell (Tor) has been destroying AL pitching all season long and leads all hitters with 49 HR and 124 RBI. Wade Boggs (Bos) continues to flirt with .400 BA. Jimmy Key (Tor), Roger Clemens (Bos), and Teddy Higuera (Mil) have put up the best numbers of a very good group of pitchers in the AL this year.

1987 AL News Recap

The month of April is in the books for the AL. The Toronto Blue Jays have gotten off to a fast start and lead the AL East while Minnesota, Seattle and California are bunched up on top of the Western Division. My Tigers are right behind the Blue Jays, tied for 2nd with the Milwaukee Brewers.
Detroit's Alan Trammell leads the AL in hitting with a .443 BA, but Boston's Wade Boggs has been the most impressive hitter so far this season. He's 2nd in BA with a .395 mark, tied for 1st in HR with 8, and tied for 1st with 26 RBI. Toronto's George Bell is also putting up some good stats: .385, 8, 26. Texas pitcher Charlie Hough leads all pitchers with a 5-0 record to go along with a league leading 1.30 ERA.
Detroit rookie Matt Nokes has been a pleasant surprise for the Tigers. The young catcher has taken over for departed free agent All Star Lance Parrish much better than expected and put up some very good numbers so far: .371, 6, 12.
