June 1st, 3007
The month of May saw the second mortal showing up the deities by receiving a Player of the Week Award as well as three of our deities reaching the 300 career HR mark. Also, one of our deities was slightly hampered with a minor injury.
Monthly Highlights

5/7/3007 - Aztec God Ometeotl clubs 3 HRs in 4 ABs, scoring 3 runs and driving in 4 in Pittsburgh's 9-3 win in Raleigh.
5/10/3007 - It was an embarassing day for our CL deities as puny human Frederick Cook (.536 / 3 HR / 8 RBI) is named the Continental League's Player of the Week Award. In the UL, Greensboro CF Lao-tzu (.500 / 6 HR / 14 RBI / 1.300 SLG) takes home the PotW.
5/10/3007 - Scientology icon A Thetan hits 2 singles, a double and 2 home runs, scoring 4 runs with 2 RBI in Houston's 8-1 drubbing of Orlando.

5/13/3007 - Confucianism namesake Confucius homers three times with 5 RBI in Phoenix's 12-9 win in Norfolk.
5/16/3007 - Mayan God Hunab Ku goes 5 for 5 from the plate with 2 doubles, 3 HRs and drives in all his team's runs in Stockton's 7-3 win over Gadsden.
5/17/3007 - Phoenix 2B Confucius (.636 / 7 HR / 16 RBI) and Stockton 3B Hunab Ku (.636 / 6 HR / 14 RBI) win Player of the Week Awards.
5/19/3007 - In the bottom of the 10th inning, Zulu deity uKqili drives a solo home run over the right-center field wall to tie the game at 5 and bringing the Norfolk 1B's career HR count to 300, making him the first deity to reach this plateau. It was the second HR of the game for uKqili, who was 4 for 6 on the day, but it was not enough as Atlanta scores 4 runs in the top of the 12th and stops a late-surging Norfolk team to win the game 9-8.
5/22/3007 - Mayan God Hunab Ku improves Stockton's record to 24-24 as he again hits three home runs, all solo HRs this time, in Stockton's 8-4 win in Raleigh.
5/24/3007 - Judaism icon Abraham (.545 / 10 RBI / 1.409 SLG) wins the CL Player of the Week Award. Mayan God Hunab Ku (.556 / 8 RBI / 1.722 SLG) wins his 2nd PotW in as many weeks.
5/24/3007 - There must be something in the water as Greensboro CF Lao-tzu goes 5 for 6 with a single, a double, 3 HRs and 6 RBI. His 3rd and final home run was a game-winning solo blast in the bottom of the 10th which gave Greensboro the 13-12 win over Buffalo.
5/29/3007 - While catching a blistering line drive, El Paso RF Anu bruises his hand and will be at 90% for 3 days. El Paso says they will handle the situation *extremely* cautiously and sit Anu for the next three days.
5/31/3007 - Scientology icon A Thetan (.591 / 12 RBI) and Hindu deity Vishnu (.455 / 7 RBI / 1.091 SLG) win Player of the Week Awards.
5/31/3007 - Sparking rampant whisperings of possible substance abuse, Mayan God Hunab Ku clubs another three HRs in a 4 for 4 performance in Stockton's 12-4 win over Little Rock. On the day, Ku also doubled, scored 4 runs and collected 5 RBI.
"These rumors are absurd," replied Ku, when questioned about the rumors of substance abuse, "and they anger me greatly. When I find out exactly who has been spreading this blasphemy, rest assured they will regret that I allowed them to be born with vocal cords."
6/1/3007 - Batter of the Month Awards are awarded to Norfolk 1B uKqili (.505 / 46 RBI / 1.316 SLG) and Stockton 2B Hunab Ku (.495 / 21 HR / 41 RBI / .581 OBP).
