The TSTBL is in August of their second year, 2003. In last night's action Colorado Springs' 3B Hank Blalock popped-out in a pinch-hitting appearance to snap a 41-game hitting streak, the longest in league history. The streak saw Blalock's average jump from .358 to .392. In other news, half of the league's teams are either in first place, or within 5 games of first.

We have a great core group of active owners, but are currently in search of 4 more:

SALT LAKE CITY (60-61, first place): The sub-.500 Stingers are leading the Western League North, a division that no one seems to want to win. A perfect situation to distinguish yourself and separate this team from the rest of the pack! SLC's offense if powered by 3B Troy Glaus (.228-31-82), 1B Lyle Overbay (.285-8-62), SS Angel Berroa (.256-3-25, 42 steals), and RF Matthew Lamas (.307-16-78). Leaders on the mound include: Bud Smith (6-4, 2.64), Brandon Claussen (12-8, 3.41), Dan Wright (8-7, 2.45) and closer Benito Baez (27 saves).

NASHVILLE (60-59, 3.5 games out): Highlighting the Sounds attack are 3B Aramis Ramirez (.341-32-86), C AJ Pierzynski (.329-9-83), 2B Brent Abernathy (.288-17-76), LF Brad Wilkerson (.296-7-55) and RF Ben Grieve (.276-7-55). Leading the staff are : Randy Wolf (11-6, 3.24), Aaron Myette (12-7, 3.70) and Chad Harville (23 saves).

OKLAHOMA (58-62, 17.0 games out): The RedHawks aren't a contender...yet. They're in the midst of a solid conversion to Western League contender that has seen them lose 91 games last season to flirting with .500 this season. Playing in the toughest division in the TSTBL (.559 division winning percentage) has overshadowed the advancements of the organization. The almost overnight conversion from a laughing stock to a solid franchise on the move is being lead by: 3B Eric Chavez (.275-19-77), 2B Jose Ortiz (.248-27-82), C Ramon Hernandez (.263-24-72) and RF Gabe Gross (.303-6-40). The Hawks pitching staff is lead by: Tony Armas Jr., Tim Redding, Rick Ankiel and Kelvim Escobar (a league-leading 34 saves).

ROCHESTER: (52-69, 25.0 games out): A true fixer-upper...but not without the building blocks. Heading the RedWings line-up are: Samuel De Los Santos (.335-6-32), Corey Patterson (.324-22-86), Carlos Macia (.273-28-88), Jason Tyner (.350-0-38, 49 SB), 2B Marcus Giles (.249-20-62), 3B Garrett Atkins (.248-19-67) and SS Bill Hall (.271-6-41). Their pitching staff is headed up by Adrian Burnside, Dewon Brazelton, Justin Duchscherer and Scott Linebrink. Two of the top 8 pitching prospects in the league are Rochester property.

This league sims 3 nights a week (Tue, Thur, Sun) and has never missed a sim. The owner's participation is good and they have a say in how they want their league to be run. If you'd like to inquire about one of these four franchises and get off to a running start to get a feel for your team prior to the offseason preceding our third season, drop me an e-mail.
