LCS Game 5

All right, after a long weekend delay, game 5 in both LCS is in the books. Over in the Adams League, perennial AL champ Seattle is now one win away from the Cecil Cup after thrashing Brooklyn 10-2, in what could be the Wolves last home game of the season.

The other New York team fared better, however, as River Cities fell 4-1 to the home Gothams. The Paddlewheelers will have to win both remaining home games in the series to take the Zotti League crown.

Seattle and New York lead 3 games to 2. I've simmed the travel day as 100 baseball players have left New York, and game 6 will be simmed on Monday night. Go and download the league file, everyone!

    Still a toss-up in each series, and I won't be surprised at all to see both series go the full seven games.

    Well, this has played out about as well as I could have hoped - Thomas can back strong from his subpar outing in game 1, and Gossard drove in all four runs, including three on a home run off of Scull in the fifth.
    Intriguing pitching matchups upcoming - tentativaly Giddings vs Okane tonight, neither won their first start of the series. Will Nate shake things up and give Wooster a start?
    If River Cities wins game six, then it's Diehl vs probably Villatoro on short rest for all the marbles.

    Presumptive MVP John Hukill, who had 153 RBI for River Cities during the regular season, hasn't driven in a run in the playoffs yet.

    I wouldn't have called Hukill out like that, Paul. Only bad things can come of it.

    What can I say, I like living dangerously!

    If one, or both, series go to game 7, would there be any interest in a live-blog of the deciding game? I could setup a Cover-it-Love, or do it via IM.

    I trust you meant to say "Cover-it-Live", Michael.

    I'm torn on the live blog thing. I'd hate to be living or dying over a more prolonged period than necessary.

    I'd probably vote for a mock blog rather than a real one. If I were reading a real live blog, I'd almost certainly get upset at some move my manager did or didn't make and I don't need that stress. Also, I'd always wonder if the game comes out differently if you sim inning-by-inning instead of all at once.

    But, if others want a live blog, I'm not really voting against it either and wouldn't stand in the way.

    There's also a way to hide the results in the game and just watch the replay. See here.

    I may try that for Game 6 and see how it goes.
