General News
The 2003 trading deadline came and went with barely anything making the headlines. The three-some between the Felons, Jailblazers and the storm and the huge $11,000,000 deal to sportkrazy seemed to be the only big news this deadline. The Juves look to finish in first place and Storm just plays okay enough to make the playoffs but not good enopugh to knock the Juves off the comfort seat. The Felons is playing better ball now since their super star sportkrazy has secured his future with the franchise for at least the next two season. They are currently on a 4-game winning streak. However they are still behind the blazers who have been winning recently with a couple of addition from freeagency. konholeyo is batting .380 with 5 HR and 21 RBI's. ----------------------------------------- Monthly Awards Quote:
----------------------------------------- Breaking News JAL: d draven085 was injured while pitching. Diagnosis: Fractured Elbow. He is out for about 7 weeks. JUV: i illinifan was injured while pitching. Diagnosis: Bone Chips Elbow. He will be OK in about 7 weeks. STM: b bigwillis16 was injured while running the bases. Diagnosis: Broken Ankle. He is definitely out for the season! wow, storm will certainly miss bigwillis. This might just kill off the Storm for the cup contention. ----------------------------------------- That's all for this sim, good luck to all on Wednesday. |

The Storm suffered from the loss of bigwillis for teh rest of the season. The Jailblazers caught up 2 games this past sim, making it 7 GB. The Juves is the only team left with a winning percentage in the league now with Storm playing very poor baseball this past month. I guess this "is not over until it's over - Yogi Berra". Making the headlines this time is actually not matt. In fact, matt has been on a bad slump batting .188 with only 5 homeruns for the last two months. sportkrazy on the other hand, arguably has proven himself to be the best player in league batting .427 with 14 rbis's this month alone. Wavehound8 of the Storm has also been tremendes. The first baseman is currently leading the team in RBI's with 73 and is signed to come back next season. He is certainly a big part of this Storm offence. The biggest story this season (in my opinion) has to be the Jailblazers. With a team full of mediocre players (statwise), only one player on the roster has an over .300 average and he has played under 40 games. Not even one pitcher of the staff has double digit in wins. Still this team is battling on and is closing the gap game by game slowly yet progressive. I will not be surprised if this team end up beating the wounded Storm and make it to the finals. Breaking News nothign major... This is all, playoffs is getting closer and closer, and the race is getting tighter and tighter... |

Ths first ever playoff (finals) is just around the corner so I thought i should get the details out now. Only the top two teams will advance tothe post season. They will then play a best of 5 series. The winner will be declared the champions of the GFBL this season. Since the elague set up only consists of one league, I'll have to scheule 5 exhibition games for this to work, hence there will be no "lasting injuries" and pitcher fatique. However that doesn't mean you will be able to start your ace every game. Now I'm trying to be as fair as possible so I'm gonna enforce a 4-man rotation. Each team will have to at least feature 4 different SP in the series. In case it goes to game 5, both team will be allowed to go back to the ace if one desires. Let me know of these rules sound reasonable. I am also all ears If anyone has any suggestions, comments and/or questions.

Sounds good - but, can't you just go into the schedule editor, and hit "Add Series," instead of creating 5 exhibition games?

Sounds fair enough to me.
We have been offered a contract by SirOrion and it looks like we are going to remain a Juvenile. I have been out for 5 weeks and am still tied for the lead in wins, for the Juves....glad SirOrion respects that and has offered me a nice contract for my efforts this year. |

Can you add me to the GFBL? My username is krimsonkrusher on the forum. I'd don't care what position I play, as long as it's not pitcher or catcher.

Yeah, I agree, for a 5 game playoff. I'd use a 4 man rotation for a 7 game playoff.

And I think i will stick with the 4-man rule so that more pitchers wll get to play and the better team will definitely win since everyoen will need to comethrough now in order for a team to win 3 our of 5 games. |

Oooh yeah, we're gonna to kick butt next season! (Ideally, the Jailblazers come in first, with the Juves coming in second, or vice-versa. That way both of my teams make the playoffs)

I realize that the league is getting popular now, more and more people are paying attention to it making this more and more like an online league. So I updated the site making it more like a proper online league. The intro screen now feature players form the league. It will randomly pick a picture from my data base and link to that particular player. I didn't do everyone, If you dont see your picture and you would like to be there, give me a shout and you will be there. There is also a brand new league graphics section in case anyone wants to do something related to league whether it is a banner, wallpaper, player card...etc. Everyone is also welcome to write articles about the league. Everything will be posted and shared. So dont be shy! ***If you still see the old baseball (or any of the old pages) on the intro page try hold ctrl and click refresh. Big news coming out of the last sim. The Blazers are now just 4 games behind the Storm for the last playoff spot. And if thats' not exciting enough, the last place Felons lead by sportkrazy is only 2 games behind the Blazers and 6 back of the Storm. The Juves on the other hand has been taking it easy, currently sitting 26 games over the Storm with a gurantee home-field spot in the finals. With only 20+ games left in this first season of the GFBL, a great finish seems certain... Now to the statistics, dbacks of the Juves has stolen 65 bases and counting. Cuss has raised his/my average to over .300 with the help of my personal strategies. ;D matt is slowing down now still he is leading the league in RBI's with over 100. The only player in the league currently with 100+. trident is leading the league in saves with 38 and a 3.31 ERA. For more stats check the leader section of the site. ------------------------------------ Monthly Awards Monday 9/1/2003: Pitcher of the Month honors go to Juveniles' ey215 It's the 2nd time that the GFBL Pitcher of the Month award goes to Juveniles' pitcher e ey215.
