[Alan T]

RL's #1 Starter is Edwards
Wednesday, August 1st, 2091: The Republic League hitters didn't have a chance in July when the Toronto Marlboros manager wrote "Edwards" on the lineup card. Outing after outing, Chris Edwards held teams in check and usually got a win.

He excelled with a 4-1 mark and 3.12 ERA in 5 starts. The talented Marlboros star pitched 40.1 innings, fanned 19 and held opposing teams to a .213 average.

For his superb mound work Edwards was named the RL Pitcher of the Month by the baseball writers.

Thus far this season Edwards has posted a 10-9 record, started 20 games, struck out 69 batters in 132.2 innings and compiled a 5.16 ERA.


Best Starter Chosen by Continental League
Wednesday, August 1st, 2091: The Continental League announced today that Walt Rawlings has been chosen the league's Pitcher of the Month. The Noblesville starter had everything working for him last month as he glided to a 4-0 record.

In July Rawlings chalked up a 2.27 ERA in 35.2 innings with 29 strikeouts and 3 walks.

In the current season in 20 starts, Walt Rawlings has a record of 7-6 with 110 strikeouts in 124.1 innings and a 3.47 ERA.

Baltimore's González Bags CL Batting Award
Wednesday, August 1st, 2091: Jorge González put his mark on the Continental League this July by putting together some award-winning numbers. Baltimore's center fielder took home the Batter of the Month award on the strength of his .370 batting average.

Hartford Newcomer July's #1 Rookie
Wednesday, August 1st, 2091: Troy Bryant's eyes seem to light up whenever he sees the baseball. The young Hartford first baseman has been hitting everything in sight for the better part of a month.

In July he was voted the Rookie of the Month Award.

During the month he hit .333 with 5 doubles, 1 triple and 3 home runs. Bryant also scored 9 times and drove in 14 runs.

Presently Bryant is batting .302 with 7 home runs and 46 RBIs. He has played in 89 games and scored 34 times.


CL Announces Rookie of the Month
Wednesday, August 1st, 2091: Roger Laughren is still a bit shy, but then, who could blame the newest Continental League Rookie of the Month honoree? He hasn't been around the league long enough to fully know the ropes yet, despite the fact that he's putting up veteran-like numbers.

In July the Georgia hitter tagged opposing pitching for a .352 average with 32 hits, 3 home runs and 15 RBIs.

So far this season Laughren is hitting .302 with 6 home runs, 40 RBIs and 58 runs scored. He has 111 hits in 367 at-bats and a .351 OBP.

Well then...apparently my complaints are falling on untalented ears.

Number 2500 for García
Thursday, August 9th, 2091: Ann Arbor's Manny García got the standing ovation -- but the Brunswick Barons got the win.
It was a special day for him at Patriots Place. A day when García notched hit #2500 of his career. The fans went wild when he did. Even the Barons fans applauded.

The Winged Lingerines right fielder went 2-4 in a losing cause as Brunswick spoiled the party with the 6-4 victory.
In the postgame interview, a downhearted García told the media, "We lost -- It's not about individual accomplishments -- we lost."

When pressed further, he admitted his pride in reaching the 2500-hit mark, "A lot of great players never get there. I'm proud, but I would be happier if we had won."

García has played in 2044 games and posted a lifetime .314 average. He has 2500 hits, 507 doubles, 66 triples and 329 homers. In addition he has driven in 1488 runs and scored 1516 times.

Apex has a magic number of 6
Georgia has a magic number of 6

Baltimore, Tokyo, Napa Valley and Noblesville are still mathematically alive.


Hartford has a magic number of 8
Colorado has a magic number of 8

Hammersmith is the only other RL team mathematically alive.

For all of the beatings my preseason predictions take, they are pretty much dead on right now. 3 team race in the RL and 6 team race in the CL!

I almost decided I wasn't going to look until the morning when I saw the first standings and I was last with no pitchers on the leaderboard. I'm happy I changed my mind.

Thanks everyone. Maybe I can finally be that bride again instead of the bridesmaid. Or should I say groom instead of groomsmen.

[Tasan]

oooOoOooOOoOOo Triple Crown!
