Come Play Baseball Manager(Mogul) Online!

Earlier in the season Brett made a post asking if anybody wanted to join the LL BMO league. This is the 2nd version of this league and it's gone pretty well.
We've played over 10 seasons and in doing so, figured out some of the bugs in the program. After some discussion it was decided to restart the league with some of the improvements that we've figured out.
We've had a few people either drop out or just not pay attention. So as a result we currently have about 10-15 spots(for now) open.
Here's the forum for the league. If you wanna play, post. The url for the league and information is in this thread.
Teams are randomized and cities are equalized.

Washington is going to draft Strasburg," Bowden said, according to a transcript in the Washington Times. "The decision has already been made. It was made when I was there. That is who they are going to take. ... This is the best amateur pitcher since I was born. He is that good -- his delivery, his stuff, 100 miles an hour in the eighth inning, his makeup. He's got the entire package.
But Strasburg and his agent Scott Boras are reportedly asking for a $50 million dollar contract, which would shatter the draft record of $10.5 million given to Mark Prior in 2001. "You think they are going to sign him early? No, it's going to be Aug. 15 at 11:57 p.m.," Bowden said. "It will end at around $15 million, about under $35 million of what Scott [Boras] wants, but that is where it ends up. It will be record-breaking, and he will be pitching in the big leagues in September. He is that good."$50 Million? Holy crap.

Though I imagine we're all pretty close to that by now, but holy crap this is a little over the edge.
The video is accompanied by an article with some guy ranting about bloggers vs mainstream media and whatever, but the video is the real gold here.
Thanks to Fark who linked to this with the headline:Wait, why are we supposed to take sports journalism seriously?
The Mariners suck. The Mariners suck. Holy crap the Mariners suck.6 comments | 0 recs
