[The Game]

I tried my best to mange the NL to a victory but came up short. I am not sure of my overall ASG record but I think I am 2-3 games under .500. Pitching was good for the most part. Vean Jean-Paul had 3 lefties in a row and she failed to save the game.
It was nice having it in Mon Mothma Park. That park has hosted 5 ASG's.
Next year it changes to the winner of the BoE will always host the ASG.
Congrats to Gotham City 3B Cobbie Draine for being MVP.

[The Game]

We finished the 1st half at .500. We are a very streaky team but we need to have a winning streak in the next 10 games otherwise I'll have no choice but to have the white flag. While I do plan on resigning Bremer & Maverick, I have no intention of bring back Michigan, Case or Guerrero.
There is a war looming and I feel that the landscape of all the leagues will be different next season. The CBF has plans in place to disband if the Yuuzhan Vong come closer to Coruscant. If that happens all players in the CBF will be come FA's. Which is why MLB is expanding by 4 teams and the IBL by 6 teams. EBL has plans for expansion in 2030, but may need to up that timetable to accommodate all the great players from the CBF.
If the New Republic Chief of State Cal Omas declares an all out war vs the Vong then the Endorian Armed Forces will be called to war which includes almost the entire Atlantis roster and many of the players and coaches on my team including myself. I am still an active Fleet Admiral and I have a small fleet on Illinois.
All native Endorians serve in the military for 3 years after they graduate from HS or college. While they may still have normal careers they are weekend warriors equal to Earth's Army Reserves. Myself, along with both Tigger & Brett are also Jedi Knights. We would be among the 1st to be called to help in the fight by Master Jedi Luke Skywalker and the Jedi Council.
Both Brett & Tigger are also in the Jedi Elite force Sentinels. basically the equivalent to the US Navy Seal Team Six.While they play baseball they will both join the Sentinels full time after their playing careers are over. Lowbacca, Chewie's nephew leads the Sentinels.
We have a good fight coming our way in the form of the Anderson Indians. If we can take 2 of 3 we can at least battle for the WC.
