The Thorpe Springs Horned Frogs checking in.

A little tidbit: Thorpe Springs is a little town about 45 minutes Southwest of Fort Worth. It is where Texas Christian University was originally founded and the Horned Frogs were born. TCU later moved to Fort Worth of course.

Go Frogs!

My Louisville Colonels are in this scary league. We are in the same division with the Kentucky Colonels. I’m not sure what city they’re in.

I am also in the same division as For The Horde Timi. If you want to know all of the best cards in the game, his roster is a pretty handy resource.

Thalion · 12-24-2018, 09:12 AM

Hey Kushiel, we're sort of together again. Opposite sub-leagues again. I see they put the Aqua Sox and Timi in the same division this time. Orca, are you in there with them? Ouch!

moalkha · 12-24-2018, 09:16 AM

Good luck to all of you. I have avoided all the big teams in my division but the level is still scary.

Orcin · 12-24-2018, 09:26 AM

Wow, there's a team in this league with 16 perfects.

Kushiel · 12-24-2018, 10:20 AM

Yeah there are many from G301 in here.

VARoadstter · 12-24-2018, 11:23 AM

My bottom feeding Highland Brewers are here. At least I will get to experience relegation, which will be new.

We play in Lexington, so we'll have a few bus trips between us. I guess it's an in-state rivalry in the making!

And we already won one game against the Horde, which might be one more than I would have bet on for the season. It might be a good thing it's Christmas week, and I'm traveling next week. I'm not sure I want to pay close attention to what's likely to happen to my team in this league!

Yes, just a short bus ride down I-64.

I took 1 of 3 against the Horde also, and I considered it a major upset.

Weaseltail · 12-24-2018, 03:10 PM

Ahwatukee Snowbirds here. I thought last season's league was brutal but D.306 (aka the "Johnson" league since everyone seems to have a Walter or Randy on their staff) is just silly.

Happy holidays!!!

Kushiel · 12-24-2018, 05:46 PM

I definitely can see the competition tighten up as we all work our way northward through the tiers of leagues. G301 had many really good teams that seemed to have made it here where we have been joined by more really good teams. I am loving the competition and the camaraderie that we have with it is a great blend. It is going to be a tough week to win but I know we will be driving our teams to that Perfect plateau.

Good luck everybody.

Merry Christmas!

Wow! No kidding!

PhysicsTeacher · 12-24-2018, 05:53 PM

Our Lake Monroe Doctrine seems to be playing well so far against every team not named the Colonels.

Orcin · 12-24-2018, 06:12 PM

The LOLCats are pretty impressive also.

jda · 12-24-2018, 06:26 PM

That may be, but the Horde and AquaSox have clobbered me in every league so far. I think they are a level apart, so it's at least a bit heartening to see them in the same division for once.

Thalion · 12-24-2018, 06:39 PM

Wow, there's quite a bit of forum users here in this league. Merry Christmas to all!

Wow, Glad I miss that one. Lol...

Cgraham67 · 12-24-2018, 10:01 PM

We got a tough division top to bottom in AC EAST....I swear we can not get rid of Thorp Springs and they have owned us at all 3 previous levels...

We have exactly ZERO Perfect cards....(pulled a couple but sold them to fill holes in the rest of the team)...I do not think we have the best team by far but we can compete and I really like all the guys on this team so that makes it more fun for me...More of a Historic guy since I am 51.....I go way way back.....

Good luck and Merry Christmas guys.....Chris

PS--just out of curiousity, who are your favorite players on your team?

I think my Jackie Robinson-97 I pulled is my favorite because of what he means to baseball history plus he is a dang good 2nd basemen

A close 2nd on my team is CF Eric Davis....He is off to slow start this year but look at his stats last couple years..unreal....

Clemente. He can hit .150 and he'll always be my regular right fielder. Fortunately, his cards seem to perform most of the time. Beyond him, I'll field a team of historic Cardinals if I can. Ozzie will always have a place. I just wish I could get Musial to hit.

As for *cards* (not Cards) I like... Norm Cash has been a seriously consistent performer, and I haven't seen him much on other teams (only once so far) so he feels almost unique to my team. I like that.

Cgraham67 · 12-24-2018, 11:11 PM

Man GOTTA LOVE Ozzie Smith...I remember when he would do that back clip coming on the field...The Cards stole him from Padres for Gary Templeton I think it was...another SS....
