Mack Came up with the Twins but struggled to make it out of the minors until 2018. It was admiral Fox, then as Special Adviser to GM Harold Baines that suggested that Mack would benefit from starting the season with the Sox this year. He is a vital part of the Bench Mob. He can play 2B & RF a lil 3B and can also play LF & 1B but he is bad at both. He grew up as a fan of Kent Hrbek, Kirby Pucket & The Rat Gary Gaetti. Although he was too young to remember those 3 in their prime, it was his father who told him stories about the 1987 & 1991 World Champion Twins.

Brian Mack Update: Mack has been great this season filling in for injured 2B Jack Johnson. His average is unbelievable. Since the Toledo trade Mack has moved over to 3B where he is a bit better defensively.

Nick has been a solid part of the rotation going into his 4th season. Nick is from South Central LA. He grew up gang banging until he met Trayvon Robinson and changed his life around. Nick pals around with Garret Jackson & Sterling Thomas. He is prone to giving up teh long ball but can strike out almost anyone. He recently threw the 1st White Sox No Hitter since Wilson Alvarez in 1991.

Nick Simmons update: He is continuing his winning ways from last season. He was recently offered a 4 yr contract extension at around 14.8 per.

We ended the month winning 7 in a row. Got the team back to full strength overall. Would be nice to have Fred Jones at the ML level. Bullpen has come around the last week or so. Ruiz & Sanders have been great surprises.

July looks to be a fun month. Get to see the revamped NY Yankees. Get to see Max House & Bob Bliss in KC. Tom Duggleby in San Fran.I get to see PETCO for the 1st time. Haven't been to San Dog since 1995. Visit my uncle and cousin in the Lou.

The Caps & Cougars continue to dominate the EBL.

A look at the NL leading Cougars.

A look at the AL Wildcard front-running Seattle Mariners.

Veren HawkBats have the rest of the DS right where they want them. LS is a tight race.

[The Game]

POS: RF B: L T: L #95
How Acq: Drafted #6 in the 1st round 2004 Amateur draft.
Big Z has been one of the NL's premier RF's over his career. He has been a leader of this team since his rookie year. Ricky declared for the EBL draft instead of the MLB draft because he sought stardom and not being just another player. He has been injured often the last few seasons. Chevy has not been overly competitive the last 5 years.
Ricky has 7 GG's and is a 9 time All Star. He has 1 World Series ring.

[The Game]

3 games @ New York. Still amazed that they are not better. Superstars in Krimov, France, Bennett, Rostoff, Pearl, Mason Williams, Dockery & King Felix. Their offense is deadly but our hitters will be able to get to their pitching.
