--Happy 4th of July . The Knights and Dust Bunnies squared off to break the tie in the Johnson and Leecemark came through with a sweep to jump out to their biggest lead of the season. The Corsairs sweep the Boys to get to .500 for the first time all season - the first time anybody in the Chadwick has reached that exalted mark since April. The hottest team is the Jaxx though, with a 7 game winning streak going.
--5 series between now and the All Star break. I'll get the All Star ballot thread up soon.

[leecemark]

--New league file for DMB owners

[dust bunnies]

Please set the Dust Bunnies' pitching rotation to skip. Thanks.

looks like oscar gamble has been over-used

[leecemark]

--So he has. Craig, Gamble is for the season. Please advise on his roster replacement and lineup adjustments.

[jaybird_1981]

Please DL Scurry for the Cider and call up Darrell Jackson in his place.

[leecemark]

--The Jaxx winning streak was snapped at 7, but they went on to win the series. They have won 9 of 10 and pulled to within 2 of the Beavers.

[scubadan]

Please make the following roster moves:

Activate Blyleven and farm Mitchell.
Insert Blyleven as SP #1 and move Forsch to SP #2.

Thanks.

Earlier in the season I thought about trying to add to my team to make a run in a weak division but too many future draft picks had already been traded away to obtain anything without risking future rebuilding. With the recent stretch of games over the last couple weeks, we've begun to fade out of the race and now look to be sellers rather than buyers this season. No one on my roster is untouchable for the right price but I am most interest in trading players at the end of their contract than someone who will participate in my future. Here are some players in the final year of their contract that might be of special interest:

		              		 Real Player 			
 POS 	 Player 	 Ends 	 Salary BF/PA Status    ERA+     WHIP  OPS+ 
SP	Paul Mitchell	1980	 0.750 	 89.1 	 90 	111	1.198	
SP	Bill Travers*	1980	 1.250 	 154.1 	 31 	100	1.257	
RP	Dick Drago	1980	 2.000 	 132.2 	 45 	103	1.289	
RP	Rob Dressler	1980	 0.250 	 149.1 	 27 	105	1.299	
RP	Fred Norman*	1980	 0.250 	 98.0 	 23 	87	1.388	
SP	Gordie Pladson	1980	 0.250 	 41.1 	 -   	76	1.306	
DH	Hal McRae	1980	 3.500 	 489 	 47 			124
LF	Terry Whitfield	1980	 0.250 	 321 	 31 			107
RF	Larry Harlow*	1980	 0.250 	 301 	 31 			113
RF	Gary Woods	1980	 0.250 	 53 	 53 			182

Craig, you need to update the Tyrants roster/lineup to account for Gamble being doen for the season.

[Windy City Fan]

Give Murcer the starting job in RF. Also send Sutcliffe down and call up Jackson Todd to take his spot in the rotation.

[leecemark]

--Ok, but that still leaves an open roster spot.

[Windy City Fan]

Call up Brian Asselstine.

[leecemark]

--Halfway in and still over half the teams with reasonable playoff hopes.

[leecemark]

--New league file for DMB owners

[rmadachik]

Mark - I accidentally activated the wrong Vuckovich. George is not eligible to be on the roster and needs to be replaced with Pete. Thanks

[leecemark]

--The Beavers sweep the Jaxx to solidify their control in the Cartwright. Meanwhile the Hard Cider have a 5 game winning streak going to surge back over .500 and into the playoff hunt.
