--The Skipjacks reach .500 for the first time on the season and claim a share of 1st place in the process. Meanwhile the Legends suffer their 2nd serious injury in as many days.

**jaybird_1981** · 12-18-2012, 10:32 PM

Mark for some reason the latest DB sent out didn't have the signings I made once the season started. Jerry Morales is missing from the Ciders roster and Dave Goltz is missing from the Irons. Once Morales is back on the Cider could you DL Rudy Law and call him up and use him in Rudy Laws lineup spots.

**Sockeye** · 12-19-2012, 06:19 AM

I've seen about all I can take of our pitching staff this year. Farm Greg Harris & Tom Niedenfuer. Call up Pascual Perez & Jerry Reed (hopefully he'll be a gold mine for us, while giving the opponents the shaft) Pascual Perez will replace Pete Falcone in the starting rotation.

Pitching Assignments
Rotation - 5 Man, skip

SP1: LaMarr Hoyt
SP2: Vida Blue
SP3: Pascual Perez
SP4: Mike Caldwell
SP5: Ed Whitson

Closer: Steve Bedrosian
LH Set Up: Bryan Clark, Kevin Hickey
RH Set Up: Doug Corbett
Long Relief: Bryan Clark, Jerry Reed
Mopup: Pete Falcone

**leecemark** · 12-19-2012, 09:31 AM

The Knights sign LHP Jeff Little

**leecemark** · 12-20-2012, 07:06 AM

--The Boys sweep the Llamas to vault into 1st in the Chadwick. The Legends take their series from the Skipjacks to reclaim sole pocession of the Hulbert lead. The Dust Bunnies edge to within a single game of the struggling Knights.

**scubadan** · 12-20-2012, 08:39 AM

Please DL Iorg and promote Doran.

Insert Hubbard into Iorg's spot in the lineup vs RHP.

On the depth chart for 2B vs RHP, please change Doran to 33%.

**leecemark** · 12-20-2012, 10:04 PM

--We've got 1st place ties in 3 of 4 4 divisions. The Hard Cider are the only team with any kind of comfort zone. The 3rd place teams in the other 3 divisions are actually closer than the 2nd in the Cartwright.

**leecemark** · 12-21-2012, 08:56 PM

--The Beaver pick up a sweep while the Hard Cider get swept to tighten up what was the biggest divisional gap. The Iron also get a sweep tonight to break tie in the Chadwick.
--I'm going to run one more series, either tomorrow or Sunday, then take a few days off for Christmas. Definately no games on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.

**J W** · 12-22-2012, 12:05 AM

Some changes to my bullpen:

Spot starter: Mike Stanton
Mop up: Mike Stanton, Pat Underwood*
Long man: Gary Lucas*, Mike Stanton
LH set up: Vincente Romo, Pat Underwood*
RH set up: Chico Escarrega
LH closer: Kent Tekulve, Vincente Romo
RH closer: Kent Tekulve, Chico Escarrega

The Skipjacks are in the market for an additional relief pitcher, must be cheap.

**J W** · 12-22-2012, 12:19 AM

In the meantime, the Skipjacks will sign an old friend, Ed Glynn to the roster. He's got a terrible walk rate but they can't hit him either.

--Last series before Christmas break. No games til the 26th. New file out to DMB owners momentarily and hopefully Lew will have a chance to to get website updated for non-DMB owners in the midst of his holiday. Merry Christmas everyone.

It will now be July before Fergie pitches again and he STILL has not won a game three months into the season. I really expected about 15 wins from him this season, based on his numbers. Unfortunately, the Diamond Mind gods have chosen to give Fergie one of the worst season reproductions I have ever seen. Real life stats: 217.1 IP; 1.33 WHIP; 3.15 ERA; 14-15 record. DM stats so far: 91.1 IP; 1.51 WHIP; 5.62 ERA; 0-6 record. I think it was Rich who said he would get his wins, but I sure would like to see just one at this point....

**J W** · 12-24-2012, 01:48 PM

I'm kinda torn on the issue; I want to see Fergie win 300 games but I'm still competing against the Legends.

Either way, you won't have to worry, Fergie is still king of the hill among DMCKL pitchers.

**J W** · 12-24-2012, 01:54 PM

One more signing we can fit under the cap: The Skipjacks sign Enrique Romo who will join his brother Vicente on the team. Decent RH split.

True, but to be so close to 300 and have what seemed like a sure thing suddenly get a little precarious is very frustrating. This is a season when Fergie won 14 games for a pretty poor Cubs team. I figured he could easily win 8 with a fairly competitive Legends team. I understand there is still a lot of season (60%) left, but to be into July by the time he starts again with no wins at all just seems incredible.

**catcher24** · 12-25-2012, 09:58 AM

To all my friends at CKL (and it's sure hard to believe this is now a 7+ year project), especially the two I've been with from the beginning, Jason Woollet and our marvelous Commissioner Mark Leece -

MERRY CHRISTMAS

And remember the reason for the season!

--The Jaxx have won 8 of 10 to surge from the Cartwright cellar to a tie for 2nd place - just 4 games back of the Hard Cider who have lost 8 of 10. The Dust Bunnies are the league's hottest team, winning 9 of 10, adding another game to their lead in the Johnson.

**leecemark** · 12-27-2012, 08:11 AM

--Happy 4th of July

!. the Iron sweep the Llamas to open up a 7 game lead in the Chadwick. The other Jaybird Inc entry, the Hard Cider, has the second biggest lead at 4 games, giving Jason a little something extra to clebrate for his birthday tomorrow.

--the Thunder lost Mark Eichhorn and Donnie Moore to usage today, leaving them only 8 active`pitchers. Craig, if you aren't able to get the pitching adjusted before next series I'll activate the 2 pitchers with the most innings, but assign them no roles.
