May 1st, 3009
The 3009 season of the DCL is off and running! This should be a very interesting season as a vast majority of our deities will most likely be free agents after the season, barring any major injuries which land them on the DL and stop their Service Days clocks. We'll see if any of our deities jump up with unprecedented huge years to try and make a little extra coin on their contracts. Also, it will be interesting to see if any teams out of contention trade away their deities to the highest bidder.
Monthly Highlights
4/5/3009 - A bad start for our CL deities sees Philadelphia's mere mortal LF Brett Lofton take home the Player of the Week Award for his .444 / 11 RBI performance. In the UL, Hunab Ku (.444 / 5 HR / 8 RBI) is awarded the PotW.
4/12/3009 - Voodoo God Bondje (.609 / 11 RBI / .615 OBP) and Lewiston catcher Altjira (.650 / 6 RBI) win Player of the Week Awards in a slow news week.
4/12/3009 - 26 year-old Houston Starting Pitcher James Erb has developed into, arguably, the league's premiere pitcher. Erb showcased his talents beautifully in Houston's 2-0 win over Chicago as he pitches the first PERFECT GAME in league history. Erb faced the absolute minimum 27 batters and ended the game by striking out the side in the bottom of the 9th, driving the home Houston crowd into absolute bedlam. Lost in the shuffle was the excellent pitching of Chicago starter Calvin Correa who pitched the complete game, allowing only 5 hits and 2 unearned runs. A Thetan had a 2-out 2-RBI single for Houston, which was all the offense they would need.
"I am so f***ing pissed off right now, I can't even see straight," uttered a noticeably reddened Khonvoum, who was 0 for 3 on the day, "Seriously...I'm not playing around here. Get your microphones out of my face and turn those cameras off before the only thing left of any of you is a fine red mist."
James Erb was escorted from the stadium by A Thetan and several National Guard troops out an undisclosed location at an undisclosed time to avoid any retribution from the inflammed Pygmy deity.
4/19/3009 - Memphis LF Jesus Christ (.625 / 10 RBI / .690 OBP) and Seattle RF Siddhartha Guatama (.640 / 13 RBI) win Player of the Week Awards.
4/23/3009 - Gadsden 2B Odin goes 4 for 7 with a double and 3 HRs in Gadsden's 12-9 win over visiting Greensboro. Odin's 3rd and final homerun of the game was a walk-off 3-run blast over the right field wall to win the game. Odin scored 3 runs and drove in 7 on the day.
4/26/3009 - Phoenix 2B Confucius (.619 / 13 RBI / .619 OBP) and Cleveland catcher Enlil (.526 / 6 HR / 14 RBI) win Player of the Week Awards.
5/1/3009 - In a relatively quiet news month, Voodoo deity Bondje (.511 / 16 HR / 32 RBI) and Seattle RF Siddhartha Guatama (.479 / 33 RBI / 1.170 SLG) win Batter of the Month Awards.
