This year my injuries have been a bit more balanced for a change. Normally I too find it’s mainly pitchers that go down with injuries, particularly long term ones, but this year I’ve had a few more batters. Except for A ball where all my injuries have been pitchers

Montevideo Update, July 2041 As their inaugural season progresses the Montevideo Leones are getting to grips with the new South American Baseball League (SABL). Flirting with .500 baseball early on, as we move in the second half of the season the Leones are 12 games over .500 at 49-37. A few of the...

My favourite so far is CSKA although I do quite like Tehran. Nearer the time when I've exhausted my ideas I'll put up a poll and let everyone vote on their favourites

While the BBA beaver away lol with nearly a third of it’s GM’s having written one TN or less very BBA General Manager is required to obtain a minimum of 20 Participation Points by the end of each season with at least 12 of those points coming from Team News.

Sofia, Bulgaria Bulgaria is just north of Turkey and just below Romania on the banks of the Black Sea and is home to around seven million people of which some 1.5 million live in the capital city of Sofia. The driving force behind the Bulgarian bid for the UMEBA expansion franchise is C.S.K.A., thi...

Well, Cairo can defend, if only we could pitch

Nothing like consistency lol

I was just listening to the podcast while looking at the BBA’s new posts and lo and behold . . .

The Walkoff Watch Terminology Balkoff - When a pitcher balks in the winning run. Derpoff - When a pitcher walks in the winning run, hits a batter with the bases full, or the winning run scores due to a wild pitch or error. 200-proof walkoff - When the home team scores in the bottom of a previous in...

Greg has 18 TN, 2 league previews and 61 forum posts How does that make him PP leader for the UMEBA??? Fair enough if you ...

Class of ‘41 A month has past since Cairo drafted the latest eight additions to the franchise, so let’s have an early check on their first baby steps as a professional baseball player. P Roger Mackey the third overall pick in the 2041 UMEBA draft quickly signed a deal with a $950,000 bonus and repo...

Brilliant, I wasn’t sure at first, but by the time I’d listened to it all I was hooked

Athens, Greece The Greek government, plagued by financial woes caused by defaulting on loans from the EU at the turn of the century, wanted nothing to do with this bidding for an UMEBA expansion franchise but the municipal council of Athens has allocated the money from it’s own coffers and proposed...

Tehran, Iran Envious of near neighbours Baghdad, the Iranian government have now expressed an interest in a coveted UMEBA expansion franchise. It would no doubt be based in Tehran, a city of over 9 million people with a metropolitan population of over 15,000,000. Pollution has been an ongoing probl...

June turns out to be bad, but not as bad It’s the hope that kills you, towards the end of May it was all the talk in the bars around Cairo of how with a bit of luck the Chariot Archers could bridge the gap to Manama and maintain their post season streak. By the start of June though the gap was five...
