Simulation Madness

The Marlins pulled off one of the biggest upsets so far in the Simulation Madness tournament that I am running. The Marlins defeated the Phillies four games to two in the first round. The tournament has all 30 teams in it. I am using the baseball simulation program that I wrote in VB6 to run each game. Each series is a best four out of seven series, with each team using a 5 man rotation and the computer managing both teams. ZIPS projections are used for player data. The Marlins will face a red-hot Chicago Cubs team that swept the Giants in the first round, in the second round. Good luck to the Virtual Marlins.

Marlins vs Cubs

The Marlins fell down 3 games to 0 and then battled all the way back forcing a game seven. Johnson went up against Lilly. Johnson pitched great, going 8 innings and only allowing 5 hits to the Cubbies. An eighth inning two run home run by Alfonso Soriano turned out to be the difference as the Cubs held on to win 3-1 and advance to the quarter finals where they will face the Cardinals. vr, Xei
