[The Game]

I think we had a good draft. Drafted 6 pitchers that can make an impact this season.

[The Game]

3 games vs Brewers
35-23 .603 1st place AL Central

2-1 vs Milwaukee


We welcome the 1st place Brew Crew into town. They have a great rotation, sub-par bullpen. They rank low in AVG, HR, Hits, SB & Defense but along with their rotation they rank high in OBP, SO, BB, RS & RA.


(With Hardy taking over the team, I am only playing out games when I am the SP.)

[The Game]

Rockers SP Nuke LaLoosh will miss the rest of the season.
Tigers RP James Casey will miss 12-13 months.

[The Game]

3 games vs Aces
34-27 .557 2 GB AA West, 1 GB AA WC
2-1 vs Las Vegas


The Aces have a tremendous offense and great bullpen but their rotation is bad. We have been playing better since MGR Chris Hardy took over.

[The Game]

Memphis Blues traded 2 Cf to the Philadelphia Liberty for RP Robbie Wallace & a minor league SS.
Mustangs SP Garrett Ferguson pitched a 3 h 3 k bb CG SH.
Colonials SP Herb Hayes pitched a 5 h 4 k 3 bb CG SH.

[The Game]

Denver Bears sign SP Tom Lindsey to a 4 yr extension.
Gators Sp Jim Jordan pitched a 3 h 7 k bb CG SH. 1b Robert Smith hit his 300th HR.

[The Game]

Robert Smith ranks 97th in HR.
Angels C Harry Lewis is named AA POTW.
Colt .45's Rf Cecil Lehman is named NA POTW.
Birmingham (SOX AA) Cf Sofian bin Fatin is named AA SL POTW.

[The Game]

AA Division Leaders:
East - Knights
Central - Brewers
West - Pilots
AAWC - Huskers


NA Division Leaders
East - Dodgers
Central - Fire
West - Mustangs
NAWC - Cardinals


Cardinals are 8-2 in their last 10.

[The Game]

5-1 last week, 7-1 in June, 31-31 .500 5½ GB AA Central


We have begun to play better since I stepped down as MGR. Chris Hardy handles all the managerial decisions. I am still the GM/SP/DH. I need to move some "dead weight" from this team but I will have to pay part of their salary. For now Sp Gerd Vlasblom is DFA'd. I had to make room for RP Tim Lewis coming back from an injury. If no one claims Vlasblom, and i am not expecting anyone to, I will put him back on the 25 and demote, trade or DFA someone else. when SS Rob Armstrong comes back SS Ozzie Guillen will go back to AAA.



We host the Tigers this week then go to Juicers for 4 games.


Myself, Stottlemyre, Lawrence & Schultz all pitched well last week.


Only Miller & Altott struggled on offense.

[The Game]

3 games vs Tigers
23-39 .371 13½ GB AA Central
2-1 vs Detroit


The Tigers have many injuries right now and several players under performing. Hopefully we can pick up 2-3 easy wins before we play Orlando. Tigers are near the bottom in almost every stat.

[The Game]

New Orleans Gators traded a minor league 2b to the Cincinnati Royals for RP Bob Sanderson.
Detroit Tigers traded RP Jorge Ortega to the San Antonio Mustangs for 2 minor leaguers.

[The Game]

4 games @ Orlando
36-31 .537 1½ GB AA East, 2 GB AA WC
2-1 vs Juicers


Orlando is a great team, solid rotation, good offense, good D. They don't have a ton of power.

[The Game]

Pilots 2b Lawrence Mosley will miss a week.
Dodgers Cf Yohachi Otani will miss 8 months.
Atlanta Rebels minor league P Dave Simpson will retire after the season.
