Title: dee-nee.com updates for 7/6/2005
Post by: Gantry on 07/06/05, 06:26:34 AM


First off, congrats to Mike Riley who won the 16-man National RBI Tournament in Columbus last weekend. It's the second straight national title for Riley, cementing his place among the all-time greats. I was in Columbus (along with numerous members of the forums) and it was a fantastic time. My liver is still in recovery, but it was worth it. Congrats to JoeDirt for taking second and running a heck of a tournament. There were folks from CA, AZ, IA, IL, OH, PA, TX and MD in the tourney, truly a national affair. Malnuboy from the forums took a ton of pictures, and I'll get those up shortly.

In some very disturbing news, the Houston Astros have demoted John Franco for reassignment, meaning he's off their 40-man roster. We'll know more in a few days, but it could be the end of his career. With Santiago in the minors, there are only two RBI'ers on active rosters (Roger Clemens and Julio Franco). Lets hope John gets another shot soon, because at 44 he is running out of chances. On a more positive note, Kirk Gibson has been named hitting coach for the Detroit Tigers. The WATN has been updated...

Looks like the Sports Guy took notice and linked to dee-nee. In no small coincidence, the site traffic jumped 11x yesterday. Definitely our best outside link so far, looks like we're gonna make it after all...

By the way, did I miss the thread that explained this, I saw the link, but how did he choose, noticed someone from Tampa sent to him, someone on the site?  BeeJay?

THIS CAN BE IGNORED, I have since found the post
