Just missed out on playoffs by 2 games. Close but no cigar.

Villarreal was batting champion (I know a hitter when I sees one), and I traded away power hitting catcher for a nobody to free up some space. Fans again were not happy, but he was getting old in the tooth.

I used the spare money to sign a new catcher. This guy is going to be a real franchise player. I'm sticking with him for 10 years. So of course he'll suffer a terrible injury soon.

Clark, our superhero 1B has been traded for a better allround SS.

Fans were not that happy, but we need the most defense that we can muster at this point. Clark was a hero and I hope our paths cross again, but I just don't need 3 first basemen!

And also, just had my worst game.

Berlin gave me the willies. I couldn't hack this low budget nonsense. But luckily my rep at keeping a tight ship in Berlin allowed me to move over to Los Angeles.

Who were LA? Big market team with no significant history. They were ripe for entry into the big time.

The first year was...well.. not so good. Didn't post a winning percentage. But what the hey, three seasons without a winning percentage doesn't matter right?

Okay, so we made some signings in...
