#packadailycircus #ootp - World Series Action: Game 6

Good evening, everyone! Tonight, we move things over to Florida as the Workmans play host to the Dominic FDNYs. The FDNYs are trailing the series 3-2 as the Workmans dominated in the last game. Will Florida win the game and take the first-ever Tribecards Pack-A-Day World Series? Or will the FDNYs fight back and tie the series?

Let's see what happens tonight!


1st Inning: Things get underway, but neither team is able to get runners across the plate and they end the inning 0-0.

2nd Inning: The FDNYs bring two run in to take the lead, but then the Workmans come right back and answer with two of their own, tying things up. At the end of two, the score is tied 2-2.

3rd Inning: Neither team can do enough to get anyone to score, so things remain tied up at 2-2.

4th Inning: The FDNYs get one run in while keeping the Workmans off the board. FDNYs lead 3-2 at the end of the inning.

5th Inning: No one scores in the 5th.

6th Inning: Both teams blank out in the 6th, leaving the score with the FDNYs ahead 3-2/

7th Inning: It looks like the steam i out of both teams here, as we finish the 7th inning and the score is still 3-2, FDNYs leading.

8th Inning: Dominic shows some life and pulls a runner across the plate, extending their lead to 4-2 and the Workmans seem helpless to do anything about it.

9th Inning: Coming into the 9th, FDNYs lead 4-2. The Workmans keep them from scoring. FDNYs return the favor, and go on to tie the series at 3 games apiece with a victory win!



Congratulations FDNYs!! WOW!! We are headed to a Game 7 finale here at Tribecards! This is very cool! I am so glad the 1st-ever Pack-A-Daily World Series is going all the way to Game 7. I cannot wait to see what happens tomorrow night! Which team will emerge the victor and take the crown?

#packadailycircus #ootp - World Series Game 5: The Tie Breaker



Good evening, folks! Last night, I was out doing some sideline computer consulting and didn't get our game posted. Sorry about that!

The series is tied at 2 games each, so let's see what happens here tonight!

1st Inning: Florida starts things off without delay, scoring a run and keeping FDNYs from doing the same. They lead it 1-0 at the end of one.

2nd Inning: Neither team scores. Workmans lead 1-0.

3rd Inning: The Workmans knock in 2 runs, extending their lead. The FDNYs can't find their rhythm. Workmans lead 3-0 in the 3rd.

4th Inning: The Workmans bring in another 2 runs in the top of the inning while keeping the FDNYs guessing. That's now a 5-run lead for the Workmans in the 4th.

5th Inning: FDNYs shut down the Workmans and manage to bring a runner home in the process.  Workmans lead 5-1 after five.

6th Inning: The FDNYs keep the Workmans at bay, not letting them score. Meanwhile, the Workmans give up 2 runs, bringing the FDNYs closer to tying things up. Score is 5-3 as we end the 6th inning.

7th Inning: Wow. The Workmans score a run for each inning of play so far. That's right, they score 7 runs in the 7th inning. Stunned, FDNYs can't do anything and now the Workmans lead 12-3.

8th Inning: Neither team scores in the 8th.

9th Inning: Neither team scores in the 9th, either. That means the Workmans break the tie with a 12-3 victory over the FDNYS! Wow, what a game!

Congratulations to the Florida Workmans for making a statement as they move ahead of the FDNYs, leading the series 3 games to 2!

#packadailycircus #ootp - World Series Game 3: Moving venues


Good, er, morning, folks! Time has just shifted backward here in Tribecardsland. Well, not really, but we changed our clocks so we pretend time has shifted in the most ridiculous waste of, well, time. I digress. Often.

Things have changed as we move to the home of the FDNYs for this game. Will the home field advantage play a part tonight for the FDNYs? Will the Workmans continue their winning streak?

Let's tune in and find out!

1st Inning: neither team scores.

2nd Inning: The Workmans score a run and take the lead. FDNYs struggle to get runners going. Score 1-0 Workmans.

3rd Inning: The Workmans score again! But, the FDNYs also score a run! Now, the Workmans lead 2-1.

4th Inning: Neither team can points on the board. Score is still 2-1 Workmans,

5th Inning: The Workmans chalk up another run, increasing their lead to 3-1. The FDNYs are not able to match them, and end the inning trailing further behind.

6th Inning: Both teams come up empty.

7th Inning: Again, no one scores.

8th Inning: We still see no more scoring and time is running out for the FDNYs! They trail 3-1 as we head into the 9th inning.

9th Inning: FDNYs keep Workmans from scoring, but the same cannot be said in reverse. FDNYs score TWO runs in the bottom of the 9th to tie the game and force extra innings!

10th Inning: Neither team can score a run to win the game.

11th Inning: Still nothing added to either side. How long is this game going to last?

12th Inning: Players seem to be wearing down, but neither team manages to put a runner across the plate.

13th Inning: We've got quite a game here, folks! No runs scored means that we go into the 14th inning still tied at 3 runs each!

14th Inning: You have got to check out the log for this game. The game just keeps going. At the end of 14, we are STILL tied!

15th Inning: The Workmans come up and go down without scoring. The FDNYs, however, score a game-winning solo shot delivered by Mike Napoli!

The FDNYs win the game! The Workmans came close to winning and really putting the pressure on the FDNYs, but the home team wins the game.


Congratulations to the FDNYs! The series is now 2-1. The Workmans lead things, and we will see if they can boost their lead in the next game or if the FDNYs can tie things up. Be sure to stay tuned!

#PackADailyCircus #ootp - World Series Game 2 - Will the Workmans Continue Domination?

Good afternoon, simulated baseball game fans! Today, as we sit under chilly but sunny skies, the FDNYs will try to save face against the Workmans after last night's awful loss. The Workmans, on the other hand, will attempt to keep things humming along, as their seemingly well-oiled machine continues to roll down the tracks toward PAD World Series history.


Just as we did before, we'll take things inning by inning.

1st Inning: Neither team scores here, as bats and players seem to need a bit of a warm up.

Top 2: The FDNYs get a runner on base, but he is picked off trying to lead to 2nd.
Bot 2: The Workmans score a run on a sacrifice fly, take the lead 1-0

3rd Inning: FDNYs go 3-up/3-down. The Workmans manage to get 2 on, but leave them hanging.

4th Inning: FDNYs get a player on base, but can't score a run. The Workmans pull an encore performance of the 3rd inning and leave two runners on without pulling the trigger to get them home.

5th Inning: Neither team seems able to do much, so the score remains 1-0 Workmans.

Top 6: Bonifacio gets a single. Napoli reaches first after a passed ball. Logan Morrison steps up and knocks the ball out of the park, pushing the FDNYs to a 3-1 lead.

Bot 6: Workmans leave 3 on and fall short of bringing anyone in to score.

Top 7: FDNYs lose steam, ending the inning with no hits, no runs, and no one left on base.

Bot 7: Miguel Cabrera hits a lead-off homer. Matt Davidson gets walked, leading to a 2-run homer by Asdrubal Cabrera. Workmans take back the lead, 4-3. That's two home runs by a pair of Cabreras in a single inning. Yeah, I don't know the significance there, either. It was just fun to say.

Top 8: The FDNYs manage to land a player on base, but fail to do much of anything else.

Bot 8: Workmans lead off with a Chris B Young homer then fizzle. But, that increases the lead 5-3 as we go into the 9th inning.

Top 9: Deion Sanders gets sent in to pinch run after a Logan Morrison double. Kiner gets on base after that. Frank Malone hits a single, and Sanders gets thrown out at home trying to reach for extra bases. The Workmans load the bases and Kiner scores on a Kottaras walk. The FDNYs trail by 1 run as Big Papi comes to bat. He ends up striking out swinging, ending the game.

The Workmans take Game 2 in the series, beating the FDNYs 5-4. This game was much closer than Game 1, and it makes you wonder if one team is gaining while the other is petering out.  We'll see what happens LATER TONIGHT as we will have another game this evening!


Congratulations to the Workmans! They are off to a 2-game lead in the PAD Circus World Series. Can the FDNYs fight back? Are the Workmans losing steam? Well, they did score 5 runs, so...
