The Greeks are upset about our relationship with Korea and have referred to us as 'vermin'. I get the feeling that we're going to end up in a military situation with them someday, and I pity them. The Greeks have publicly denounced the Koreans.

The Venetians have thanked us for our support (again) in the world congress. We might call on them for a favor in the future.

Three-time Best Pitcher award winner SP Chris Morgan is a free agent. Fans wait nervously to see if the New York Admirals are able to keep the 39-year old veteran starter around at an affordable price. 37-year old pitcher Mike Trego is also a free agent, but it's uncertain if he will be able to pitch at all due to injuries. Significant free agent signings:

SP Chris Morgan - Buffalo Argent
RF Adam Hartfield - Houston Citadel
SP Mike Trego - New York Admirals
SP Kyle de Bora - New York Admirals
SP Tony Diaz - Buffalo Argent
1B Makhmud Melifov - St. Louis Pioneers
SP Ben Robson - Atlanta Bison
SP Dave McCabe - Atlanta Bison
SP Mark Gibson - Buffalo Argent
RP Doug Katz - Houston Citadel

SP Wes Barlow was elected to the Hall of Fame on his third attempt. The two-time Championship MVP was famous for steady production that ramped up in big-pressure situations. Tongue in cheek, Barlow told reporters at the press conference, "I want to thank all my teammates who scored so many runs and my fleet-footed outfielders, who ran down so many of my mistakes. Without them, I would have never made it to the Hall of Fame."

Masters Division - The Boston Gold Led the New York Admirals by 4½ games at the break. The Admirals overtook Boston in the final weeks of the season, leaving Boston in a cloud of smoke.

Legends Division - In a two-team race, the Houston Citadel grabbed a slim lead over the Almaty Diamond Kings at the break. Injuries decimated Almaty's rotation and they collapsed, finishing well behind Houston.

Twilight Division - Chicago's all around solid play gave them a wide lead early on against their division rivals. They held on and played strong to the finish, especially in close games where they were saved by excellent bullpen pitching.

Vanguard Division - For the first half of the season the Argent's pitching trio of Chris Morgan, Nate Davis, and Tony Diaz was almost unstoppable and Buffalo jumped into the lead with a 43-14 record. Even after returning to earth a bit the Argent dominated the division, finishing an amazing 23 games ahead of the Portland Stags.

CBL Playoffs - Houston Citadel vs. Buffalo Argent: The Argent opened with a 7-0 shutout at home and rolled from there, eliminating the Citadel 4 games to 0. SP Matt Ledet ended up starting in place of Tony Diaz and pitched even better, showing the unstoppable power and depth of the Buffalo rotation.

CBL Playoffs - New York Admirals vs. Chicago Miners: A tough series that went down to the wire, and ended in a game 7 pitching duel in Chicago, where New York Admirals SP Lee Rolf outpitched his opponent, SP Mario Portillo.

CBL Championship - Buffalo was clearly the better team, but The New York Admirals gave them all they could handle. The Argent opened the series with 6-1 victory behind SP Chris Morgan, and ended it with a 7-1 complete game win by Morgan. In between the Admirals fought to tie the series three times. Despite the finish it was never truly in doubt. The Admirals pulled out all the stops but the Argent were just too strong. Buffalo 1B Ken Tower hit four home runs and was named series MVP.

Buffalo SP Chris Morgan won his fourth Best Pitcher award, and Argent 1B Ken Tower won the MVP award. Tower also established the single season record for home runs with 37.
