Claybor · 02-23-2003, 11:47 AM

Can anyone beat those powerhouse Blues! Come take a look and see. The maverick is a great league, with very good owners, and some unique rules that make this league a lot of fun.

Joel · 02-23-2003, 12:02 PM

The MBL was my first experience with an OOTP league and it has been nothing short of awesome! Extremely well run...and an excellent group of owners.

Joel/Bay Area Blues

Timster · 02-23-2003, 01:23 PM

I'm a OOTP newbie and feel VERY lucky to be given a team in the Maverick Baseball League. Being a total newbie ( just bought the game a month ago ), I needed a league where everything was written down ! The rules and guide-lines for everything are well spelled out on both the rules page and in the forums for dumbies like me

Our Comish has been very helpfull in my learning process. I don't know if theres a waiting list or anything but some of you might wanna check out the league. Virginia Generals GM

NGBL_ALLSTAR · 02-23-2003, 02:21 PM

If you want to join a league that is fun and well run. Come join the Maverick.

This league is run by a committed Commissioner who doesn't manage a team. I don't know about any of you guys out there, but in 99% of the leagues out there, the Commish usually manages a team and that team is usually one of the better ones. Actually in three other leagues I am in the Commish currently has the best record in all three????

The second season begins in about a month, come by and check out the site, you'll like what you see.

goon · 02-23-2003, 04:01 PM

Props to our commish, Ran! He is THEE most dedicated commish.

This a severely active league. All owners are exceptional. If a team becomes available, it won't last long. This league is one of the finest out there!

PS- The Yanks are looking forward to making the Bay area fans "sing the blues..."

wireman · 02-23-2003, 05:50 PM

All correct. It's a great bunch, and Ran's the most active commish I've ever seen.

Unfortunately, my Buffalo Bulls have just about finished tanking now

But they're well-positioned for next year, having dumped a lot of age and salary in the course of the season.

adventureran · 02-23-2003, 11:21 PM

ACL Divisional Series

Yanks sweep! With a 3-3 tie going to the 7th, the Bombers drop their load and score 14 runs in the next 3 frames (only 4 earned on 5 errors). (7-5 / 5-3 / 17-3).

Virgina battles back to even series at 2 games a piece. (4-3 / 5-4 / 7-5 / 3-1).

PCL Divisional Series

Blues need extra innings to sweep Bearcats. A-Rod belts 2 homers including a 2-run dinger in top of 9th to send it to extra innings. (8-2 / 4-3 / 8-6).

Tijuana pounds back, but not enough as Houston takes series in 4. (2-1 / 13-4 / 12-10 / 8-2).

The final game of the Virginia/Florida thriller is tomorrow night at Maverick Baseball

In a startling revelation, at least for Yankee fans, the Virginia Generals, pounded the New York team for 2 more games to win the first Atlantic Coast League crown. Both teams handled the bats well, but in the final 2 games, Virginia outscored New York 16-5. That was all she wrote.

Congratulations on a fine season by Gary Branham's Yankees!

In the PCL, the Bay Area Blues pit Pedro Martinez against Houston's hot bats, but they got him again. Scoring 3 runs in the 2nd inning. The Blues tied it and Pedro held. But in the 8th inning, Jose Cruz, Jr. belted a 382 footer off reliever John Reidling to seal it for the Astros.

Things were looking bleak in the Bay.

Game 6 turned into Reitsma's Revenge. He pitched a dandy in Game 2, only to be out-dueled by Javier Vasquez 2-1. But with Houston trying to close it out, Reitsma was unhittable. He gave up only 2 hits as the Blues shut out the Astros 3-0.

Game 7 takes place in the Bay tomorrow night. Virginia awaits the victor in our LIVE Championship Series on Sunday at Maverick Baseball !
