OK, I'm A Little Slow

Yesterday was our "Winter Meeting." It was for the most part held on-line, but Jeff and I were at my house running the free agent draft. The results of the draft are posted in "League Stuff."

We did decide a date for the rookie draft, Saturday April 2. I was thinking Sunday might be better for the guys with kids in Little League. Speak up now if that is so. We didn't pick a site either. My house would be fine, but if another SoCal guy really wants to do it, speak up now too.

Yesterday we also met the new GM of San Pedro, Randy Whitecotton. Welcome Randy.

The first thing Randy does is make The Micro League an international league, by moving his team to Ambu Laynce. Where the hell is that! His e-mail said something about Mumbai and the middle east. So I start to Google this place. Then it hits me. His team name is the Chasers, and he is a lawyer. Duh.

Hopefully his team won't have to do much chasing. They shouldn't, the Metro sucks! Hopefully there is such a place as Ambu Laynce. Hell, I'm not sure there is a Dacula. And hopefully I wasn't the only one who didn't get the joke. But I didn't get the Halifax Machine at first either!

Did They Play Strat-O-Matic In Rock N Roll High School?

Las Vegas got a new GM today, Jon Bourdon.

Jon's first move as GM was to move from Las Vegas to Southern Ohio and rename the team, the Southern Ohio Ramones. I guess there are so many cool cities to choose from in Ohio so he just took the whole southern part of the state. :)

Jon said he discovered Stat-O-Matic while searching for porn under his dad's bed. He now has 6 kids. I think he learned the sex thing. We will find out what he knows about Strat-O-Matic. :)

Welcome to the league Jon. Pick Chris Davis in the first. Ooops scratch that, I already did it.

Looking for New GMs

The Micro League is looking for few good men, or women.

The San Pedro Rush and the Las Vegas Gamblers have vacant GM positions. 

San Pedro is the 2010 Metro Division champs. While Las Vegas came in third in the tough Continental Division with a winning record of 82-80.

San Pedro features the talented Josh Johnson, Paul Konerko, and fan favorite Shinn-Soo Choo.

Las Vegas is lead by the freak, Tim Lincecum, wife beater Miguel Cabrera, and Mr. Hustle, Hanley Ramirez.

All applicants will be considered.
