EDIT: April could be a tough month. Starting with Corvair and the 4 games @ Corvair. Chevy is not expected to be very good. LV could surprise some people this year. Alderaan still has an above avg staff but still lacks any real offense. Rocky Top won't do much. Atlanta has 2 solid starters and a good offense but not much of a bench nor are they that good 3-5 in the rotation. Brandywine could have a better record than us and still not make the playoffs.
This years theme is "Still I Fly"

[The Game]

4 games @ Corvettes. a much improved team over last year. 3 solid SP 2nd best offense in the NL. with Jimmy Dugan back and Roy Hobbs in LF this team will be very hard to pitch to. They should seriously contend with us this year.

[The Game]

Nick Sullivan is 4 hits away from 3500. He is the all time Hits leader.
Jim Kanter is 6 wins away from 400. He is the all time Wins leader.
Julio Granger is 158 K away from 4000. He is the all time K leader.

Felix Hernandez is 31 K away from 3500.

[The Game]

Wilbur Duggleby is 192 Hits away from 2500. He has over 3000 with his 3 years in the EBL. He is also 22 RBI away from 1500.
Prince Fielder is 2 HR away from 500.

[The Game]

Council Senators sign 3B Adrik Wovchuk to a 3 yr deal.
Endor City signed CF Marcell Ozuna.
MR Tim Danz will miss 4 months.
Washington Nationals RF Brian Goodwin has a 5 hit game.
Cloud City signed MR Simon Ruspoli

[The Game]

3 games vs Chevy. Home Opener. Chevy is a young team overall and outside of Brow & Darell they don't have much. They should win around 68 games.

[The Game]

NY Yankees sign CL Bryce Stowell.
Minotaurs RF Diego Ramos has a 5 for 5 game.
Chicago Cubs sign Matt Cain for 1 yr.
Atlantis Sharks LF Jason Kuss has a 5 for 5 game.
Fi Glenanne shuts out the Blue Jays.

[The Game]

4-2 to start the year. Pretty much as I predicted so far although I thought we would lose one of the 1st 2 games not the 3rd & 4th. Falcone, Kline & Turley are struggling to start the year and our defense looks bad so far. Peabody, Burke, Packer & Parker look impressive.

[The Game]

Skywalker Jedi Knights will miss MR Cole Cook for 4 months.
Mets Mike Duggleby dominates the Reds with 8 K's and had given up just 3 hits.
Nick Sullivan, already the EBL all time hits leader gets #3500.
Dopson County C Ray Maracle is named AAA North POTW.
Detroit Tigers 3B Tony Thompson is named MLB AL POTW.

[The Game]

Earl Morris is named MLB NL POTW.
Tigger Johnson is named EBL AL POTW.
Tom McCain is named NL POTW.
George Jetson is named CBF LS POTW.
Battle Droids LF Rob Daybell is named DS POTW.

[The Game]

TIE Fighters RF Julian Lopez will miss 4 weeks with a fractured finger.
Veren signed LHP Lorenzo Rivera to a 3 yr deal.
Stephen Strasburg signs for 4 yrs with Cascade Falls Minotaurs.
Millennium Falcons sign RHP Stephen Mullens to a 3 yr deal.

[The Game]

3 games @ Cheetahs. Very good team. solid offense and great defense. They are weak in SP and pen a bit but they could win 90 games. Led by Will Witterquick, Wyatt Earp & Doc Holliday. Playing against Gimm Cummings and after his Twitter tirade after not resigning him I want to beat him. Managed by one of the most hated MGR in baseball Tom McGraw

[The Game]

Brandywine CF Mike Canterbury's hit streak reaches 30 games.
George Jetson will miss 3 weeks.
NY Yankees RF Oscar Tavares goes 6 for 6.
Mike Canterbury's streak ends at 30. It is the longest hit streak since 2009.
Bird City signs veteran 1B/RF/DH Max Wilburforce. He has 375 HR and has played in the CBF, MLB, *** & now the EBL.

[The Game]

3 games @ Royals. Decent team, although they do not have a lineup that can score a lot of runs. they tend to play small ball. while the top 3 SP are good they are not dominate. 1st time in his career I have not seen CF Jimmy all bat lead. Their new lead SS Morgan Bonham has a ton of speed but I don't think he can hit very well over the course of a full season. He came up with the Cincinnati Reds. Led by player/MGR 1B Mike Sieb, SP Norman McDuffie Sr & CF Jimmy All.
