Games Dates: May 22nd-27th. Rogers, Breakers, and Whitecaps are home 1st half; None is away 1st half.

1st half deadline is Friday, May 8th, 10 PM EDT. 2nd half results are due Monday, May 11th, 10 PM EDT.

Pitcher bats 8th, please swap him with the #9 hitter before each game.

BDM pummeled the Crescent Beach staff in the first two tilts, with Ketel Marte clubbing three homers in the second game and Nolan Arenado hitting two in the first and one in the second, giving him 22 HR after 51 games. The Mattinglys were too tired from circling the bases and lost game three 4-1.

Please attach the attached MP. The computer manager can pick the starting pitchers.

Please use the lineups with the following names versus the starting pitchers:

RHP hurt RHB - Scherzer, Wainwright, Lyles

RHP Neutral - Davies

Pirates take 2 of 3.

Pathetic effort by BDM. Only a 9th inning rally in a simmed game 3 (first two were so annoying I couldn't watch the third) salvages one. Series split 3-3.

Pathetic Jaxx blow game two, after blowing 3-0 9th inning lead on the road, salvage third game 9-8 after giving up tying runs in the 9th yet again. Team for sale.

MP Ready, pitchers (if that's what you can call them) are ready for the next beating.

Thanks Bruce. Will do. -Craig

By some miracle of God, Havana wins a series. I have no clue how this happened. I also thought I'd play it early for a change. Sorry for screwing up the last one. Massive brain fart.

Hens take 2 of 3 from Rotisserie - all 3 are 1-run games.

Higglytown takes the opener 4-1. Hose bounce back to win the series taking games 2 & 3 11-7 and 2-0. No significant injuries.

G1: Went 13 innings. Chinook RP went 7.2 IP w/ 0 ER until Conforto got GW single. TBC 4-3 (13)
G2: Kepler 2 run HR in 8th was the difference. Berrios pitched well. TBC 4-2
G3: Another close one. CCC gets 6 in the 4th but TBC rallies to win. TBC 8-7

FireDogs sweep Clowns.

Brockton takes 2 of 3.

Halifax and Portland split. Long injuries to Wainwright and LuCroy and a 6 game injury to Devers towards the end of the finale. Choo hit 4 HR for Halifax despite only starting 4 games.

Two walkoffs by the Dawgs before the Clowns salvage the finale.

Firedogs MP ready for Series 10.

UCity played all six, and saw almost no pitching.

Game 1 - MM get 3 in the first, UCA respond with 5, and hold for a 7-5 win. Game 2 - UCity rocks Cashner for 8 runs and cruises 10-2. Game 3 - A veritable pitching duel see the Anunnaki prevail 5-1. Then the series shifted to Coors Field, circa 1999 and in Game 4, UCity scores three in the top of the first. MM responds by scoring 9 straight. UCity then gets 8 straight, but MM ties it in the bottom of the ninth after having no one on and 2 out. It continues that way until the 12th, where the Anunnaki push across 2 runs, and hold 13-11 in the bottom of the frame when Caleb Smith (the next day's starter) gets the final out with the winning run at the plate. Game 5 saw UCity jump out to another lead and Mississauga come back to tie it again. A Domingo Leyba single provided the winning run in the 11th for the Anunnaki. Game 6 - UCity hangs a 12-spot on Kikuchi on the way to a 14-4 win and a 6-game sweep.

86 runs, 142 hits, 57 pitchers used.

Alton take 5 of 6 and were unlucky not to take all 6.

Rotisserie get the sweep.

First game was a wild back and forth that ends 9-8. Trout does Trout things for 4 RBI, and Longoria's the home town hero with 5 batted in, including the 9th inning game winning double. Giolito only goes five, but the Rotisserie bullpen does it's thing.

Game Two could have gone very differently, with the Rotisserie pitching staff fairly exhausted, and the lefty Gio on the mound versus a very strong team vLHP, but three runs in the bottom of the fifth was enough to give us a lead we wouldn't give back, finishing 6-3.

Game Three was the worst game. Good for us though, as Stroman pitches seven shutout, and the bullpen finish it out, for a 6-0 win. Hechevaria with a home run and 3 batted in.

MP ready for next week. Looking forward to Newmann's return for out home half.

Heroes take the first, but visiting Hose take the next two.

Havana takes another series!

Brockton takes 2 of 3.
MP ready for next series against Terriers.
