Alan T · 08-03-2009, 08:01 PM

Give me about 5 or so minutes and I'll get this started!

Alan T · 08-03-2009, 08:05 PM

The server is acting like a dog in heat again, so getting exports is being a bit problematic. Give me a few minutes to get them all loaded here.

Montreal_GM · 08-03-2009, 08:05 PM

Hey everyone. I'm looking forward to another fun fake baseball night.

Good luck!

I had a problem exporting my FOOL-X about 10 minutes ago. It worked after after a couple tries though.

Ya, I havn`t been able to update the FOOL-X league file today either.

Couple of interesting moves there.

Friday, April 5th, 2030: Number 2000 for McIntosh

Brennan Ward had a streak carry over from last season that ended early into this season.

Saturday, April 6th, 2030: Rancheros Chill Ward's Hot Streak
Brennan Ward's 24-game hitting streak has now come and gone. It was snapped today in the Harpooners 5-3 setback to the Rancheros. Ward went without a hit in 4 trips to the plate. Talking to BNN after the game he was visibly upset. But the streak had little to do with it.

"I'm disappointed we lost, I'm not one bit disappointed that the streak ended," Ward said. "The hitting streak was just one of those things where it was fun while it lasted, but I'm not going to lose any sleep tonight."

To date this year Ward is batting .304 with 2 home runs.

Sunday, April 14th, 2030: Santana Cracks 3 HRs for Colorado
Luis Santana went on a hitting rampage at Ballpark of Colorado today and got membership in the select club of hitters who have hit three home runs in a game. He walloped three into the stands to pace the Rancheros to a 10-6 victory over the Hammersmith Hooligans.

The Colorado first baseman collected 4 hits in 4 at-bats, drove in 5 and scored 3 runs.

After his three-home run game he said this to the press: "I have been making solid contact lately, but not getting any lift. Today I got it up in the air and out of the ballpark. I had my home run swing down pat. Got some good pitches to hit, too."

L. Santana hit a two-run home run off D. Retter in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off M. Bowness in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off M. Gabriel in the 6th and walked in the 8th.

For 2030 Santana is batting .320 with 5 home runs, 12 RBIs and 10 runs scored.

So I`ve been signing all the best players I can that will accept a minor league contract...

Sunday, April 28th, 2030: Samuel Shuts out Edmonton
The Settlers bested the Edge 4-0 behind the 2-hit pitching of Amaru Samuel. The Boston hurler had 9 strikeouts and 4 walks in going the distance.

Alan T · 08-03-2009, 08:30 PM

Wednesday, May 1st, 2030: Pitcher of the Month Named in RL

He collected 6 wins and no losses with 68 strikeouts in his 7 starts, putting up a fine 0.53 ERA in 51 innings of work.

Alan T · 08-03-2009, 08:30 PM

Wednesday, May 1st, 2030: CL Top Pitcher for April Picked

Alan T · 08-03-2009, 08:30 PM

Did you know Sierra had a streak of 8 straight Prado awards going before Ueda claimed the title last season. Quero had 9 in a row during his reign.

Wednesday, May 1st, 2030: Collin Crowned Top CL Hitter in April
On the heels of a very productive April, Richie Collin received Continental League Batter of the Month recognition today.

The battle-tested right fielder hit .420 for the Boston Settlers and racked up 7 home runs, 32 RBIs and 27 runs scored.

Alan T · 08-03-2009, 08:31 PM

Wednesday, May 1st, 2030: RL Selects Rookie Star of the Month
A veritable toddler to the Republic League, Ramón Santos just sewed up the Rookie of the Month trophy for April.

Over the past month the 25-year-old left fielder for Chico hit .325 with 37 hits, 3 home runs and 12 RBI. He also logged 11 walks and compiled a .389 on-base percentage.

Alan T · 08-03-2009, 08:32 PM

Wednesday, May 1st, 2030: Continental League Names Rookie of Month
Cong Che was toddling around on his tricycle when some of the guys he's playing against were in their prime, but the 24-year-old left fielder definitely knows how to get to first, second or beyond. Today he was chosen April's Continental League Rookie of the Month for his remarkable month of hitting.

In 28 games Che batted .345 for Baltimore, slapping 41 hits in 119 at-bats with 8 home runs, drove in 27 runs and scored 22 times.

That just makes me sick. Possibly the dumbest move I've made was letting him go. Imagine him up there in the middle of my lineup with my other two smashers.

10-18 hell of a start there!!!

Alan T · 08-03-2009, 08:37 PM

May 1st stats leaders:

Batting Avg: R.Collin (Boston) .420
Home Runs: F.Salinas (Ann Arbor) 13
RBI: F.Salinas (Ann Arbor) 39

Wins: J.Sierra (New York) / E.Varquera (Ann Arbor) 6
Strikeouts: J.Sierra (New York) 68
ERA: J.Sierra (New York) 0.53

Yes, that ERA is not a typo for Sierra. Thank the people who commented that Sierra was not very dominating last season.

Quero Watch: 0-0 4.50 ERA in 12 innings (5 apperances)

I don't remember, it was a few seasons ago. He had a small downward bump, and I thought it was the start of an early slide, so I let him walk. He's done nothing but continue to hit since signing with Boston. I've looked forever to find another OF as good as he's been. I think I might have finally found one, oddly enough a former Settler.

But this year is just nuts. I think Quero had a start like this a while back and ended up around 1.50. Let's see if he can keep it under 1. That would be fun.

Alan T · 08-03-2009, 08:43 PM

Every now and then there is something that happens which I have no idea how it even happened... This is one of those.. Somehow New York's #2 Middle Relief guy whom is not listed anywhere suggesting that he should start and has a 30 endurance got his first chance to start of the year... What does he do? Well, I'll let the FOOL news tell you:

Wednesday, May 1st, 2030: Chico No Match for Parker
It was a dismal game for the Rebels with Roger Parker on the hill. The New York starter was in top form and made it a long day for Chico with a 8-0 shutout. He surrendered a total of 2 hits and piled up 6 strikeouts to pick up the win in a route-going effort.

So far this season, Parker has a 1-0 won-lost record with no saves. He has made 6 relief appearances, logged 20.1 innings and fanned 17 batters while fashioning a 3.10 ERA and allowing the opposition a .191 batting average.

Saturday, June 1st, 2030: Sierra Is RL's Best Pitcher in May
May's top-rated pitcher was Juan Sierra of New York Heroes. He demoralized Republic League hitters in posting a 4-1 record and captured the Pitcher of the Month award.

In 7 starts, Sierra limited opposing batters to a .232 average. He rang up 51 strikeouts in 47 innings of work, issued 1 walks, and crafted a 1.91 ERA.

So far this year Sierra has a 10-1 record with a 1.19 ERA.

Saturday, June 1st, 2030: Browne Cops #1 Pitcher Award in May
Kieran Browne's been around the league long enough to appreciate the honor he received today. After going 5-0 in May, the 30-year-old Edmonton hurler has been named Continental League Pitcher of the Month.

He fanned 48 in 51.2 innings, logged an ERA of 2.44 and allowed opponents to hit .212 against him.

So far in 14 starts this season, Browne has recorded 8 wins and sustained 3 losses. He has pitched 103.2 innings, yielded 89 hits, fanned 93 and has a 3.13 ERA.

Saturday, June 1st, 2030: Great May Gets Santana RL Best Hitter Award
José Santana battered Republic League pitchers all May and wound up taking home the Batter of the Month Award.

"I've been around Front Office Offseason League long enough to know you really have to work hard day in and day out to be able to put up this kind of consistency," the 31-year-old Santana told reporters. "I put in a lot of work, even on the days I may not take the field and it's always nice when everything comes together for me like it did this last month."

In 29 games, Santana hit .411 with no home runs, 20 RBIs and scored 26 runs.

Thus far this year Santana is hitting .330 with no home runs, 31 RBIs and 38 runs scored.

Alan T · 08-03-2009, 08:49 PM

Saturday, June 1st, 2030: Sergio Luján Winner in May
Sergio Luján put his mark on the Continental League this May by putting together some award-winning numbers. Napa Valley's second baseman took home the Batter of the Month award on the strength of his .316 batting average.

He tacked up 36 hits, 9 home runs, 21 RBIs and 20 runs scored.

Luján is batting at a .354 pace in 2030, picking up 81 hits in 229 at-bats with 13 home runs, 33 RBIs and 38 runs scored.

Alan T · 08-03-2009, 08:49 PM

Saturday, June 1st, 2030: RL Rookie Star Shines
Ramón Santos's eyes seem to light up whenever he sees the baseball. The young Chico left fielder has been hitting everything in sight for the better part of a month.

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

During the month he hit .336 with 5 doubles, 3 triples and 3 home runs. Santos also scored 17 times and drove in 21 runs.

Santos is batting .330 in 2030 with 6 home runs, 33 RBIs and 32 runs scored. He has 77 hits in 233 at-bats.

Alan T · 08-03-2009, 08:50 PM

Saturday, June 1st, 2030: Newcomer Honored by Continental League
Fa-tang Le earned May's Rookie of the Month honors in the Continental League for last month's performance. The boyish Baltimore first baseman might be wet behind the ears, but he's proving that he has what it takes to play at this level.

Le hit .268 with 5 home runs, 17 RBIs and 13 runs scored this past month on his way to winning the award.

This season Le is swinging the bat at a .265 pace. He has hit 12 home runs and scored 29 times, while driving in 43. His on-base percentage is .342 and he has played in 57 games.

Saturday, April 6th, 2030: Rancheros Chill Ward's Hot Streak Brennan Ward's 24-game hitting streak has now come and gone. It was snapped today in the Harpooners 5-3 setback to the Rancheros. Ward went without a hit in 4 trips to the plate. Talking to BNN after the game he was visibly upset. But the streak had little to do with it. "I'm disappointed we lost, I'm not one bit disappointed that the streak ended," Ward said. "The hitting streak was just one of those things where it was fun while it lasted, but I'm not going to lose any sleep tonight." To date this year Ward is batting .304 with 2 home runs. __________________ Couch to ??k - From the couch to a Marathon in roughly 18 months.

Alan T Hall Of Famer Join Date: Dec 2002 Location: Mass.	Sunday, April 14th, 2030: Santana Cracks 3 HRs for Colorado Luis Santana went on a hitting rampage at Ballpark of Colorado today and got membership in the select club of hitters who have hit three home runs in a game. He walloped three into the stands to pace the Rancheros to a 10-6 victory over the Hammersmith Hooligans. The Colorado first baseman collected 4 hits in 4 at-bats, drove in 5 and scored 3 runs. After his three-home run game he said this to the press: "I have been making solid contact lately, but not getting any lift. Today I got it up in the air and out of the ballpark. I had my home run swing down pat. Got some good pitches to hit, too." L. Santana hit a two-run home run off D. Retter in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off M. Bowness in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off M. Gabriel in the 6th and walked in the 8th. For 2030 Santana is batting .320 with 5 home runs, 12 RBIs and 10 runs scored. __________________ Couch to ??k - From the couch to a Marathon in roughly 18 months.

Alan T Hall Of Famer Join Date: Dec 2002 Location: Mass.	Wednesday, May 1st, 2030: Pitcher of the Month Named in RL Despite the number of years he's been in the league, Juan Sierra still gets excited when he puts together a quality stretch like he had in April. The 31-year-old starter for New York was named Republic League Pitcher of the Month earlier today. He collected 6 wins and no losses with 68 strikeouts in his 7 starts, putting up a fine 0.53 ERA in 51 innings of work. __________________ Couch to ??k - From the couch to a Marathon in roughly 18 months.

Wednesday, May 1st, 2030: Collin Crowned Top CL Hitter in April On the heels of a very productive April, Richie Collin received Continental League Batter of the Month recognition today. The battle-tested right fielder hit .420 for the Boston Settlers and racked up 7 home runs, 32 RBIs and 27 runs scored. __________________ Couch to ??k - From the couch to a Marathon in roughly 18 months.

Alan T Hall Of Famer Join Date: Dec 2002 Location: Mass.	Wednesday, May 1st, 2030: Continental League Names Rookie of Month Cong Che was toddling around on his tricycle when some of the guys he's playing against were in their prime, but the 24-year-old left fielder definitely knows how to get to first, second or beyond. Today he was chosen April's Continental League Rookie of the Month for his remarkable month of hitting. In 28 games Che batted .345 for Baltimore, slapping 41 hits in 119 at-bats with 8 home runs, drove in 27 runs and scored 22 times. __________________ Couch to ??k - From the couch to a Marathon in roughly 18 months.

Alan T Hall Of Famer Join Date: Dec 2002 Location: Mass.	Every now and then there is something that happens which I have no idea how it even happened... This is one of those.. Somehow New York's #2 Middle Relief guy whom is not listed anywhere suggesting that he should start and has a 30 endurance got his first chance to start of the year... What does he do? Well, I'll let the FOOL news tell you: Wednesday, May 1st, 2030: Chico No Match for Parker It was a dismal game for the Rebels with Roger Parker on the hill. The New York starter was in top form and made it a long day for Chico with a 8-0 shutout. He surrendered a total of 2 hits and piled up 6 strikeouts to pick up the win in a route-going effort. So far this season, Parker has a 1-0 won-lost record with no saves. He has made 6 relief appearances, logged 20.1 innings and fanned 17 batters while fashioning a 3.10 ERA and allowing the opposition a .191 batting average. __________________ Couch to ??k - From the couch to a Marathon in roughly 18 months.

Alan T Hall Of Famer Join Date: Dec 2002 Location: Mass.	Saturday, June 1st, 2030: Sierra Is RL's Best Pitcher in May May's top-rated pitcher was Juan Sierra of New York Heroes. He demoralized Republic League hitters in posting a 4-1 record and captured the Pitcher of the Month award. In 7 starts, Sierra limited opposing batters to a .232 average. He rang up 51 strikeouts in 47 innings of work, issued 1 walks, and crafted a 1.91 ERA. So far this year Sierra has a 10-1 record with a 1.19 ERA. __________________ Couch to ??k - From the couch to a Marathon in roughly 18 months.

Alan T Hall Of Famer Join Date: Dec 2002 Location: Mass.	Saturday, June 1st, 2030: Browne Cops #1 Pitcher Award in May Kieran Browne's been around the league long enough to appreciate the honor he received today. After going 5-0 in May, the 30-year-old Edmonton hurler has been named Continental League Pitcher of the Month. He fanned 48 in 51.2 innings, logged an ERA of 2.44 and allowed opponents to hit .212 against him. So far in 14 starts this season, Browne has recorded 8 wins and sustained 3 losses. He has pitched 103.2 innings, yielded 89 hits, fanned 93 and has a 3.13 ERA. __________________ Couch to ??k - From the couch to a Marathon in roughly 18 months.

Saturday, June 1st, 2030: Sergio Luján Winner in May Sergio Luján put his mark on the Continental League this May by putting together some award-winning numbers. Napa Valley's second baseman took home the Batter of the Month award on the strength of his .316 batting average. He tacked up 36 hits, 9 home runs, 21 RBIs and 20 runs scored. Luján is batting at a .354 pace in 2030, picking up 81 hits in 229 at-bats with 13 home runs, 33 RBIs and 38 runs scored. __________________ Couch to ??k - From the couch to a Marathon in roughly 18 months.

Alan T Hall Of Famer Join Date: Dec 2002 Location: Mass.	Saturday, June 1st, 2030: Newcomer Honored by Continental League Fa-tang Le earned May's Rookie of the Month honors in the Continental League for last month's performance. The boyish Baltimore first baseman might be wet behind the ears, but he's proving that he has what it takes to play at this level. Le hit .268 with 5 home runs, 17 RBIs and 13 runs scored this past month on his way to winning the award. This season Le is swinging the bat at a .265 pace. He has hit 12 home runs and scored 29 times, while driving in 43. His on-base percentage is .342 and he has played in 57 games. __________________ Couch to ??k - From the couch to a Marathon in roughly 18 months.
