[JDPNYY]

Dammit. Write ups are in my blood. I can't stay away.

Sorry for those who hate me, but I gotta do what I gotta do.

This week's preview (in greenish):



Michigan Wolverines (7-8) @ Guys with Wood (14-1)
Slyly, the Wolvies have won 4 in row and have risen above the DiMaffio basement. Unfortunately for the Wolvies, they face the next NYYFans Champjon this week. Winners of 8 in a row, losers of just 1. One win streak will end this week.


Buckeye Nation (10-5) @ The Empire Strikes Back (6-9)
Buckeye Nation sits atop the DiMaggio Division having won 4 in a row. The Empire Strikes Back is playing for pride and to spoil. This looks like it could be a close one that gets decided on Sunday.


Evil Empire (8-7) @ Springfield Nuclear Powerplant (4-11)
The Empire of Evil is hanging around in the DiMag, looking for an opening. The Powerplant is playing for pride and next season. Empire heavily favored in this battle.


Felonious Punks (6-9) @ Mrs. Bill and Sluggo (9-6)
Mrs Bill is wondering if she can get a Division Change. She'd be in contention in any other Div. However, there's a good shot at a Wild Card (record or points) for this nice team. Punks hope to spoil the Mrs Bill party this week. Somehow, this one might be close.


Miko's Marauders (8-7) @ Judgement Day (10-5)
Tony's Judgement Day, having a fine season, looks down at all the other Mantle Division mates. They should be able to take down the Miko Marauderers this week. Miko is reeling coming off a 4th straight loss and falling to 2nd place. Midnight trade offers are all lined up and ready to roll.


Romanian Yankees (8-7) @ The Lumberjacks (9-6)
The Jax come off a tough loss to the lousy Ligers and find themselves in 2nd place. Still well the playoff hunt for 1st place, the best record and the most points Wild Cards. The stunningly surprising RoYanks are suddenly back in contention. Miko's freefall has given the RoYs hope. The Jax do look like the favorite this week though.


Carolina Force@ (9-6) Planet Express (6-9)
The Carolina Force have become the poster child of "Don't Give Up too Early in the Season". What a season. With their trade this week, this writer puts them number one at having the best chance against the Wood. The Express will not have a chance to repeat. After 2 years in the final round, it's back to rebuilding and playing spoiler for the rest of this season.


Larrupin' Lou's (2-13) @ Those Hobbled Men in their Tattered Stirrups (7-8)
Six straight losses faces five straight losses. Someone's gonna get back in the win column. This should be a close one. I tink da Commish will prevail.


Babe's Blasts (5-10)@ Formal Ferrets (4-11)
Our two returning owners (and we do welcome you both back happily) will fight it out this week for a blast at formality. The Blast are favored to win this one. But, we'll let things play out.


Ligers (10-5) @ HobokenSquatCobblers (8-7)
This looks to be a very close battle. The HoBo's would love to take the Ligers out of 1st place. The Liger's want to stay in first. They really do. First place is nice. Please lose Hobo's. Please?


The final week before the stupid exhibition game break. Play hard and don't give up until the last out is recorded.

[miko]

Am I officially allowed to trade for keepers now?
Four straight losses and I am in a tie for second........

[hardrain]

John is back!

[ruthianblast]

Thanks John for welcoming us back happily.

I think the Force "don't give up" is more a symptom of "don't give up too early when you have Bumgarner and Kershaw on your team".

I'm a Miko fan from here on out. Hey Miko; need any OF help

[Hitman23]

Welcome back John.

Who hates you. Do we need to punch a bitch?

[JDPNYY]

Welcome back John.

Oh, I thought it was you.

[Hitman23]

Oh, I thought it was you.

dude you take me way to seriously! I fired back at one dig you wrote up, but I told you I thought it was funny. It was the “empire that actually strikes back” comment. It was hilarious. I told you this.

The hate is strong with this one

[The FUTURE]

Glad to have ya back John !!

[hardrain]

John tricked us. He is evil. Ligers must be stopped.

[Hitman23]

Dude you take me way too seriously.

Meh... not the first time you've said that. But alright. Cool.

[JDPNYY]

I'm rarely serious.

I'm your personal Palpatine.

[The FUTURE]

I'm your personal Palpatine.

You are giving yourself a lot of credit with that one; more like the fan-theory of an evil Jar Jar Binks

[The FUTURE]

Meh... not the first time you've said that. But alright. Cool.

I think the league dues need to go towards buying you and John Yankees tickets to a game next season. All conversations must be video taped the entire game.

Come on; at least fan theory "Lucas intentionally tried to ruin the franchise with the prequels".

Not trying to make excuse, but really not going to be responding to trade requests for the next few days. In hospital trying to have a kid since yesterday, sorry for delays.

Huge Congratulations. I hope everything goes great.

I did hear that accepting trades helps move things along. Heavens knows, you'll have no time after the birth.

...but mostly, all the best!!!
