Wow...not in a million years did I see this coming. And my owner said he expects us to win it all this year.

Trade block might be exploding very soon. If there's someone you really want get in line early.

Ingle's revenge!!!

No I couldn't see it coming either. 6-3 at home and mind boggling 3-14 on the road. Lol, I guess we need more home games?

No shame getting swept at Maine since right now they are a machine.

Good month. Reynolds extended. Looking to move Wences or Gentner. Olivares is the real deal.

[Carlos]

We have a long way to go. .500 baseball is an improvement so I'm glad with that. Just concerns me that this team has played below .500 the past weeks.

As expected...we struggled. Went 1-3 against DVS and 1-2 against Denver. It could have been worse considering the trade.

-SP Robby Duffy made his Bat's debut...his first five pitches: Hit by pitch, strike, strike, Double, 3-Run Homerun. Not a great sign. But I'm sure he was nervous playing in front of brand new fans in a brand new league against one of the IL's best. He settled down to finish six innings, five ER, 1 BB, 5 K. Hopefully my pitching coach can give him some pointers.

-Re-Signed set-up man David Saucedo to a very team friendly contract...and then he got a ratings boost from the Development Report. Good timing. Two years guaranteed at $2M and $2.2M, then team options at $2.3 and $2.4.

-Sorry about the news in California. Hopefully he can bounce back next year.

-Saddens me to see just how well the Washington trio did in Dallas. Cardenas continued his career high pace by hitting at an .870 OPS and 142 OPS+ while playing lights out at 3B. BJ Jobe, despite struggling in Spring Training and the first few weeks in Washington, tore the cover off the ball his first week hitting .379 with a double and two triples and three stolen bases. He will play CF in Dallas and he's already +1.2 zone rating after six games. CJ Skinner was very solid going 7 innings, 3 ER, 0 BB and 8 K in the 4-3 win. You're welcome Sully.

-It's going to be a long year in DC...but it was overdue.

We went 5-1. We now sport a 21-5 record. We are just running train on the fucking league. This is awesome.

Also, longtime Guide second baseman Danny Lebron agreed to a minor league contract with the team.

Unfortunately, Taylor Clarkson and Travis Basker will miss a couple weeks of action.

somehow I'm in first

I've been offering Lebron a minor league contract every sim since Free-Agency started. He must still like you.

It's only two weeks...but if you need injury replacements, shop DC.

[Sully]

Really like the look of my team with Rosema returning to the lineup, and the addition of the DC 3.

He must. I just offered it this past sim. I'm glad he was apparently waiting for me so he could come back. I don't know if he'll ever make it back to the BLB, but I want to give him a chance.

Maine, LAD, Dal, Pitt, Cleveland, Syracuse....all of a sudden the DL is stacked

[Guest]

Guess I picked the right year to rebuild. haha

[Pat]

In the game it's saying I have three first round picks...

16, 17 and 22...

The DC3 trade was for a 2009 and 2010 first not 2008...just making sure.

Yeah, when making a trade in game it doesn't let you specify the year associated with the pick so it will often represent the wrong year . . .which is why we have to track the traded picks manually.
