Quick mini-update:

The Everett Aquasox continue to toy with B268 like a frog snapping flies out of mid-air. A 60-26 record is in line with the great team of 2041, which went 109-53 and won promotion.

The Nashville Game Theories, improbably, are above .500 and have a positive run differential. Not bad for a team that has practically abandoned pitching and plays in a bandbox of a ballpark (I've even named it Bandbox Stadium) in a bid to maximize point generation.

The Thetford Mines Mineurs have stumbled (if you can call playing .622 ball stumbling) and are now in 2nd place, a mere 1/2 game back. Robby Alomar, of all people, hit 2 HR to lead the Mineurs to their latest victory.

The Forest City Tribe, still waiting on a 2016 World Series hero to emerge from the Auction House at a reasonable price, have slipped to 3rd place at 47-40, albeit just 2 games back. Player/manager 88 OVR Lou Boudreau, perhaps concerned about the rumors that he is to be replaced by himself, is pressing a bit, hitting just .267 this season, 20 points below his career average and his worst mark since 2037. However, the slack has been made up by his new middle infield partner, 91 OVR Bobby Avila, who's slashing .315/.357/.410 with 10 HR. General manager Hank Greenberg, sick of Manny being Manny below the Mendoza line, benched the mercurial star and installed himself at DH. He's now currently below the Mendoza line as well, hitting .179 with one measly homer in 21 games. And Bob Lemon continues to impress on the mound, with a 12-5 record and a 2.53 ERA. Don't discount Herb Score, who had struck out 105 batters in 92 1/3 innings with a 7-4 record.

The exploits of the Reno Silver Sox have been well-documented in the OL thread. The Rottness Island Quokkas are still mediocre in Gold. And the Redlegs still suck.
