The reigning champions visited Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati to open the 2005 season before a crowd of 42,271.
Randy Johnson started for the visiting Marlins, while the Reds sent Roy Oswalt to the mound. However, neither gained a decision in a game that went into extra innings.
Knotted at two runs apiece, the top of the twelfth saw the Marlins mount a rally, as Ichiro Suzuki singled with two outs and stole second. Chipper Jones drove him in with a single. However, Scot Shields, on in relief for the Marlins, could not hold the lead as he gave up a lead-off home run to Alfonso Soriano.
The lead-off spot was a problem for Shields, who in the bottom of the thirteenth surrendered a double to the pitcher, Jamie Walker. Pinch-runner Maicer Izturis was driven in by Larry Walker's single in the next plate appearance to send the Reds' fans home happy.

Scene-setting and Off-Season
The teams in the two divisions are:
Atlantic Division
Atlanta Braves
Baltimore Orioles
Boston Red Stockings
Florida Marlins
New York Highlanders
Washington Senators
Quebec Division
Montreal Ours
Cincinnati Reds
Cleveland Indians
Detroit Tigers
Milwaukee Brewers
Toronto Blue Jays
There was one blockbuster offseason trade, as follows:
MILWAUKEE traded Mark Bellhorn (if), Mike Koplove (p), Kirk Rueter (p) and Michael Young (ss) to TORONTO for Elmer Dessens (p), Jeff Francis (p), Freddy Garcia (p), Marco Scutaro (if) and Juan Uribe (3b).
(Trades are modelled on a previous baseball season. I align the teams according to won-lost records with those of a given year, say the 1976 National League, and then try to make deals between the 1976 teams work in the context of my 2005 drafted ones. So if a team trades its starting shortstop and gets back the other teams third starter, that's what I try to match. However, I also keep to real-life contracts, and free agency has a tendency to void some of the '1976 deals'.)
The biggest news coming out of spring training was that the Washington Senators saw their entire starting outfield -- Barry Bonds, Rocco Baldelli and Lance Berkman -- go down with injuries. They started the season with Michael Restovich, Alex Sanchez and Reed Johnson instead.

Introduction to the Association Post
This blog is about a defunct baseball simulation league that I have revived for my own amusement. The league was originally called the 'London League of Professional Baseball', because I was living in London, England, at the time.
The first season of the league, 2002, used the Strat-O-Matic computer baseball game. For 2003 and 2004 the Diamond Mind Baseball computer game was used.
Originally, I had a partner who played one of the teams, but he dropped out towards the end of the 2004 season, which was when I set up an original version of this blog, now deleted. We used a centralized system of simulating games except for the 2004 season, when he played all the games of his own team. We drafted players to our own teams, while the other teams were initially drafted by the computer. Gradually I developed personalities for each of the teams and began drafting players that fit the parameters of these.
The league, and this blog are now being re-launched picking up where I left off with the 2005 season using the Diamond Mind baseball game. (A 2005 season using Strat-O-Matic was quick-played, but I have decided that that one doesn't count.)
