Walling was late to practice today. He will not start. Is this okay Mr Manfreddy?

[Shooty]

I would like to replace Kirby in the 8 hole with someone who sucks less.  I'll go with Puhl.

[fightonusc]

OK, new versions of the ROM are attached. The Empire's line-up is the same as last week's. Shooty replaced Puckett and Puhl. No more changes.

                                                                 Press Release

                                                                     
                                           


The Empire will not be starting Denny Walling due to the fact that he was late to practice today by one minute. Ryne Sandberg has demonstrated a relentless work ethic by arriving to practice 3 hours early to work with hitting coach Ryno in the hitting cages. Coach nomaa and Executive Consultant Ryno have expressed enthusiasm towards starting Denny Walling, but I shall not tolerate undisciplined players who lollygag to practice late.

We are highly anticipating our next game with the 2 time defending champions, The OC. It would be an honor as well as symbolic to defeat them and end their playoff hopes and their quest for a 3-peat.
We are fully aware that The OC has a lot of pride as they are the two time defending Fantasy Champions. They are desperate for a win, and I can sense the hunger and eagerness from The OC for a victory.
However, I also sense that the fear in The OC is very strong. If we can jump out to an early lead, I strongly feel that The OC will fold up their tents and go home. They have an enormous amount of pressure on them to win. The Empire shall exploit this as we intend to play heads up Empire style baseball in front of our loyal fans.

The Empire-OC clash will be a very emotional battle. Reggie Jackson has a very personal vendetta to wage against TBG and BDawk as he is more than determined to show The OC that it should indeed be treason to trade him. Potatoes has guaranteed two homeruns.  We are aware that Pedro Guerrero and Wally Joyner also have personal vendettas to wage against The Empire, but coach nomaa has developed a pitching strategy to minimize their sticks.

This upcoming battle shall be very passionately contested. If The OC chooses not fight with the heart of a Jedi Knight, then they shall meet their destiny for this season as they are on the brink of their program going to shambles.

May the Force bless our Empire.

Do you ever not ruin stuff?

I mean for christ's sakes, does your swedish league team issue inane assinine press releases before every low level high school game that you play?

That being said, i didnt read four words from you previous blithering post.

[Darky]

cunt tantrum

What a cunt fit. Just worry about getting Coleman back on track and getting your team to the playoffs you sloppy PENGUIN.

Attitudes such as this deserve a force induced choke-hold. . .. .  .. I've not mastered the power of the force just yet, so you're safe for now.

[TβG]

hey guys, i need to turn over full-time control of the oc to bdawk.  it seems that i can't be online much lately and i feel he could run the team better than i can at this point.  we look forward to turning a corner under new, if not hairier, control and winning some doggone ballgames.

[Big Hath]

you realize bdawk has been around for 4 days don't you?

that equals about 3 years for most of us

[TβG]

well i'll just try to check in more.  i'm not sure if my dee-nee time will be more or less now since i'm an invalid.

[fightonusc]

So you guys know, I'm doing all five games, and then having a big Baseball Tonight style blowout after the videos are released. Three down, two to go...

[fightonusc]

Crap. I'm going to post the first three game videos now since I'm getting killed at work and don't know when I'll get to the next two (probably this weekend)

[TβG]

thanks for doing our game.  let's see if we can win a game for the gipper.

[Reds]

winner winner...chicken dinner!

Shalom Beeyotch!

wow.  darkside, you better watch this game.

the oc has been pleased to go on a low carb diet that includes more meat and less potatoes.
