Daily Snapshot: April 18, 1949

 Only two games on the slate today, but both were close affairs with some fine pitching performances. ***NOTE: I'm still playing around with how best to displays these daily snapshots within the limitations/size of the blog setup.  I'm looking to make things as easy on me as possible, so I don't dread putting posts together, so I may play around with these as we progress.  You can click the image in the post to see a bigger version if the one in the post is too hard to read.

Yes, I'm schizophrenic... 1949 Replay Baseball

 OK, I acknowledge that I'm schizophrenic and/or nuts - clearly I've started a few replays already on this, gotten a decent ways into them and then changed course.  However, I've recently fallen in love with Replay Baseball.  I ordered the 1949 cards set and decided to get the PC version to along with it, using the software to track stats and enter results.  It's amazing.  Such a playable game, made even smoother by incorporating the PC version that is tailored to this particular cards & dice sim.  Based on what I'm able to do within that software, it will make things much easier for me (read: less of a chore at times) to post results and weekly roundups. So, the 1949 replay is underway and I'll be posting results for EVERY game.  And I'll do weekly recap/roundup type posts to update standings, league leaders, etc. Hope everyone enjoys!
