The Game's EBL vs MLB 2012 & Beyond

[The Game]

4 games @ Skywalker.
So far they are a .500 ballclub. Wicket seems to have had a resurgence. The Solo brothers are off to a good start. While I dont think that they will truly contend with us & Corvair this season, they could make things interesting. MGR Luke Skywalker, 1B/DH Wicket, 2B Jacen Solo, C Anakin Solo & SP Jaina Solo will all retire following this season. With the exception of Wicket the others are all Jedi and have Jedi business to attend to.

[The Game]

Colorado Rockies RF Gimm Cummings will miss 10 months.
White Sox MR Steve Allison will miss 3 months.
Dan Toner has a 5 hit game.
Highland Scots RF Carlos Mendez will miss 4-5 weeks.
Hope Jedi sign 2B/3B Rafael Sosa.

[The Game]

Ford Thunderbirds super utility player Sarah Jessica Waters career is over. After suffering last season from a concussion, she had symptoms return this year which might explain her poor play this season. She has retired due to post concussion syndrome. Sad day for Ford baseball.
Teebo has a 5 hit game vs Atlanta.
Minotaurs lose CF Julio Reyes for 5 weeks.
Hope Jedi sign CF Michael A. Taylor.
Brandywine Power sign MR Stephen Prescott to a 1 yr contract extension.

[The Game]

3 games @ Rocky Top. The Rockies look better this year. Solid offense 2 - 7. Pitching looks a tad better overall, although they are weak at the #5 spot and their pen is weak until Kim Youpa comes back. They could finish at .500 this year. Led by RF/MGR Tom McCain.

[The Game]

Anakin Lightsabers 3B Diego Fuesntes has a 3 HR game vs Senators.
The once great Jack Elliott is wallowing away at Lakeland but he did have a 5 hit game.
Icen Wampas MR Santiago Gonzalez will miss the rest of the 2022 season.
Cubs SP Phil Brickma will spend 3 months on the DL.
T-Birds LF Calvin Kline had a 5 hit game vs Rocky Top.

[The Game]

Sith Lords 1B Nick Ramirez hits 3 HR vs HawkBats.
2B Teebo gets his 2000th Hit.

Parrots SP Stagger Lee K's 9 Scots on his way to a CG SH.
Jedi Knights 2B Jacen Solo will spend 4-5 months on the DL.

[The Game]

We played much better this week, although we still have some major bullpen issues. Dexter Ruetecki will no longer be the setup man after his 4th blown save. I will go with setup by committee but Chris Hernandez will get the majority of the SU opportunities. Calvin Kline has been on a tear lately. Peabody & Packer both had a solid week. D-Fitz is struggling badly. Burke will come off of teh DL this week but we still will not have him on the ML roster for another 10-15 days after he comes off of the DL. He will go to AAA on a rehab assignment to get back into shape.
Found out this week that the Higgions brothers are undecided on who they want to have mange this team after this season. Almost every coach is a FA at the end of this year and they are unsure if they want to keep John Baker, one of their best friends or myself. If Baker leaves he will most likely take AAA MGR Jim Riggle, HC Jim Thompson and 1B Coach J.T. Thompson with him. Harry Walker has already said he will not be back next season and will seek a managerial job with MLB.
Winning again this season assures me of being here next year, which is what I want.

EBL
Atlantis, despite not having CF Kevie Oko, continues to roll in the AL East. Corvair, Ford & Atlanta are battling in the NL East. AL West is a nice 7 team race. Glenbard took over the NL West.

[The Game]

3 games vs Colts. So far they are 12-9, I believe they are overachieving. While they have some talent they are not a contender. Rookie CF Matt Johnson is struggling.
In other news concerning Steel Mill, This will be their final season. Invictus Durasteel has sold the colts to Extensive Enterprises. EE won the right to buy the team by the slimmest of margins. 12 owners voted against EE buying the Colts. EE is suspected of funding COBRA and their terrorist acts on Endor, Earth and several other planets. There were two stipulations upon EE buying the Colts.
1. They will not play in Steel Mill and must play in To Kieren (To Kieren is an underground city in the desert with a population around 1.5 million.)
2. They will have to build a team and organization from scratch. All Steel Mill players will be given their outright release and To Kieren will sign whatever FA's they want including minor leaguers and all coaches.

While EE felt it was a tad extreme, they seem to be fine with it overall.
Invictus Durasteel Inc. will own a team in the new Illinois Baseball League which will begin play in 2023 on the planet of Illinois, (formerly Bremer) the planet in which I own.

Deacon Peabody was placed on the 15 Day DL and will miss 6 weeks.
IF Lorence Fajous was recalled from AAA Dopson County. Brain Mack & Stacy Spear will share time at 2B while Toni Kline will move to DH. Fajous is a great defender but I am concerned that he will not be able to hit very well. I might recall Juan San Antonio or Bobby Avalon in the coming weeks.
