Wow, I must say my I am happy with my youth movement. Hope it continues.

Nice to get two months into the season without anyone down-shifting into full blown "blow it up" mode. Fun season so far.

Yep, time to fire up a good old-fashioned fire sale trade block.

Is that a Batavia sighting?

Is that a Batavia sighting?

Batavia has been finding their level for a few SIMs now. Batavia success is measured in direct proportion to Matt's activity.

Batavia losing - Sporadic post in the BLB. Short. Gruff.

Batavia winning - NCFA gets extra attention...HTML graphics get made...a few extra Hippies get the business end of a flashlight... Good times, good times.

SIM FUN FACT - The Colonials faced former Brewmaster's Cup Championship teammate Jayson McQueen in Philly this week. McQueen, easily the best hitting pitcher Virgina ever had, went yard in the game. No doubt he took his time around the bases.

[Matt]

9-1 over the last 10 and above .500...just happy to be here.

Since the Bulldogs are all on steroids we're playing for the WC! Losing Basil for a month hurts (3 weeks now) and most of our bullpen is "cold" but we'll be okay over the long haul I believe.

Since the Bulldogs are all on steroids

I take offense to that!

None of our pitchers are on steroids yet. Well maybe Zander Walters, but he got the needles when he was in Batavia.

[Z]

5-1 week and no one got hurt this sim. I'm content.

And Pat May is back.

Yeah. You scared us all with your budget comments. Ok.... at least me.

Our pitching is good, just not great. The offense is coming around. LA is doing ok without Simmons bat, but we miss his defense in the field. JR Travis is having a great year batting third. Toiguchi is hitting HRs, just nothing else. We are throwing the kitchen sink into this while our regulars figure out how to play. I feel like I'm suffering from lineupitis...

I think we may see more BLB for BLB trades this season with everyone trying to maximize wins.

I really don't see much changing at all. Business as usual from the limited negotiations I've had so far this season.

[umd]

4-2. We roll along. Surprised with each series. Thought it would have been opposite. Valencia goes down. Having a solid month do far.

[Pat]

One win sim.

Top 20 hitter Shawn Burton out a month, joining Hector Reyna and Marv Bowers, my entire starting OF.

This team sucks.

Lost last years first rounder to a season ender as well.

Well, no fire sale blocks going into June is not a typical season.

[Spectre]

Decent sim, the bats are finally starting to wake up. Doorbell had an awesome May with 5 homers and a .450 OBP. I think he's starting to get acclimated to the league. Slow baby steps, its still early in the season.
