Leo, you have the option of starting the next series with either your 4, 5 or 1 pitcher. Let me know as soon as you can who is going.

Twins Rotation

1: Scott Baker
2: Francisco Liriano
3: Carl Pavano
4: Brian Duensing

Twins will have to start this series with S. Baker.

Yes Mike I'm going with the same rotation starting with my number 1 Billingsle. The only thing is that I haven't seen the update from monday, so I don't know if there hass been changes to my rotation, but I'm pretty sure that 1 - 3 are still in the rotation but 4 and 5 I'm not so sure. I'll check and let U know.

Ok, I'll assume no changes unless I hear otherwise.

Mike U can give game 1 to Willdog, I refuse to play a game with so much lag, all my pitches got hung and most plays were errors, so I just left the game, He can have the win, We'll try again game 2 and if it is the same deal U can go ahead and give him the series don't really care.

as the late George Micheals used to say " lets go to the video tape" Sure Will recorded it

game 2 will be the same. the connection is what it is, not much more I can do there. really having to deal with this kind of drama is a joke...

@milk you are too funny man, the way Leo quit it didn't even register the first 3 innings of the game, no video reply on this one

I don't usually throw my opinion into these type of situations but I feel i must. Will is a very very good player and plays the game the right way. There is nothing cheesy about the way he plays the game. With that being said, every time I played him, whether in the regular season or in the playoffs, the connection was very tough to play with. Not taking anything away from him, but there were many times that my timing was thrown off at the plate or I gave up runs because the pitching meter would hiccup and cause me to put pitches in a much more hittable spot than I intended. It made it especially tough to get in a groove on the mound. Now that doesn't mean that I would have won if the connection was clean but it certainly didn't help. Don't want to sound like I'm making excuses, but it's frustrating to play a 90 game season and then have to play a playoff series under those conditions. Just my thoughts, Leo I feel your frustration

Thanks RSN, I'm glad that U point it out, but it's all good, I know that SC and connections are out of Our control, but just as Mike points it out there's always drama with me; even thou it feels like it's only an issue if I complaint; but just for the record what U say it's exactly what happened to me, also it was after midnight that We started that game, and I personally need to let go of my frustration when I play a video game ( I yelled and cursed, lol, I know it sounds ridiculous but I do ) and at that time I was gonna wake the whole neighborhood up, so I just shut down my ps3 and went to bed.

PS: damn I finally got some support from U... Lol

Yes sir, I just call em' as I see em'. Again taking nothing away from Will...homeboy got skills, you just want to see the winner determined by skill and not waist high change-ups caused by lag.

Sorry fellas I feel like this is all my fault, all I wanted was to play in a kick A league with some real ball players who enjoy simulation games as much as I do. My only thoughts are that we all play with lag at times, it is just part of the game, I guess I don't understand why some make a big fuss over it. I remember recently in a crucial league game with NY to determine seeding in the Berra Division, I was crushed by like 24 runs, yeah I feel your pain I couldn't hit a spot for my life, I was frustrated as heck, I even said a couple bad words, but what can you do. Nothing. There was no need to throw a temper tantrum about it or debate it after the game, it was out of our control. I just congratulated him on smoking my can and moved on to the next game trying to make an adjustment. This issue of lag is out of all our control, we all need to accept and understand this fact, Move on and play more baseball!!!

It's not your fault dude, it is what it is. What I don't think your understanding is that the lag is much worse against you than it is against anyone else, at least in my experiences, otherwise I wouldn't even bring it up. Maybe it's the distance IDK. Now there may be nothing you can do about that, but it's still frustrating playing a 90 game season and then losing playoff games, where every pitch matters so much, partly because of lag. There's a lot of time invested here. Please don't feel like it's your fault, I'm sure it's out of our control.

thanks RSN, much apprecieated, I agree with you on the time invested and each pitch being crucial for playoff games. After looking around I think it does have to do with the distance. I was talking with our business neighbors over here, they are tech support for Big Dog Satellite and they said distance plays a huge role in ping response and upload speeds, which of course are crucial for games like the show.

As a side note, because they are their own ISP, there down and up speeds are 35-40 mgs at the site next door to us. I have joked with them in the past about punching a hole in the wall the size of an ethernet cable to connect to their system for my games!!!! Now that would be some sweet gaming speeds

C'mon bro don't come now and start apologizing for starting the discussion, in my opinion if U don't start the "bootum Council" We wouldn't be here. Yes what I did was wrong, but, I wasn't trying to take that game away from U. I'm really sorry I had to bounce like that, but I just don't have the patience I used to have. But U should've notice that the 1st thing I did before I went to bed was to point out to Mike to give U the Win. And for the record I wasn't ducking U yesterday, I was unavailable to play video games, and didn't reply cuz didn't have My phone. Just my .02 cents.

Leo, I am just following league rules, if you quit a game that is a breach of league rules, thus the bootum council, sorry bro I am a black and white kinda guy no gray areas. you break a rule there is a consequence to follow, you follow the rules there are definite rewards. It was your choice to quit the league---nobody forced your hand or made that decision for you but yourself, so don't waste anybody's time pointing fingers! Own up to your decisions and take responsibility for your actions.

I didn't point fingers, some1 else pointed out ur suspect connection, all I did is refuse to play a lag game. And don't worry about me, I don't regret quitting, I play this gm to have fun, if it ain't I don't play it, and I'm glad I finally made the decision to do it.

good bye and good luck.
