Vegas Hits 45 Game Mark

Las Vegas - The Las Vega$ Fremonts hit the Friendship League's 40 game deadline this week-end losing an inglorious five straight games to Boston. With a 20-25 record the Fremonts are likely to be sellers at the trading deadline with marketable properties that would help playoff contending clubs; two decent bull pen arms, a 2e5 second baseman, lefty mashing & 17 speed outfielders and so on.

Fremont management has recalled their trade consultant from retirement to aid with negotiations.

Resemblance here to a league owner was not lost

Toronto loaded with All-Stars!

 

Always interesting to see what teams are looking strong for next year.  Judging by the All-Star rosters, Toronto is the clear front-runner for next year's title!  The Thunder own a Kansas-City-Royal-ballot-stuffing load of SEVEN players on this year's AL All-Star Team!  Monterrey is next with five, and Boston and Minnesota have four each.  Maine, Michigan, Springfield, and Wichita all have three.  Philly is the only team with just two.  Kansas City, Las Vegas, and Pittsburgh each have the one 'token' player on the roster.  Russell Martin is not in the Friendship League currently, but will be a high draft pick in 2016 for sure. 

Your Fort Wayne roll is NOTHING compared to the Slow Roll

Springfield which is currently sitting in the Wild Card spot (WOW, I might actually finally for once make the playoffs?) scoffs at a bar/bicycle roll through the urban mecca known as Fort Wayne because THIS is how I roll. 

Look, there I am....next to the tree!

Does Dan Gilbert tweet about your Fort Wayne trip?
