Talon Talk 1997.7 I am Smelling like a Rose that somebody...
GM Hopkins' genius appears to know no limits. Although, its only been one month since his two blockbuster trades - I think we can declare Phoenix the clear winner in both deals. http://www.desipio.com/images/schiraldi_calvin.jpg Calvin Schiraldi is without a doubt, the best closer in the MBBA since ...

Talon Talk 1997.6 GM Hopkins a Genius
Its still early days yet, but forgive GM Hopkins for the smug look on his face. "Everyone laughed at me when I made that McKinley Washington trade,"he scoffs,"But who's laughing now?" GM Hopkins' bizarre decision to call-up 35 year old AAA journeyman Calvin Schiraldi (acquired in the Washington trad...

Talon Talk 1997.5 Hopkins trades another
"The GM is an idiot,"claims ardent Talon fan JP Morgan. "Why does he keep trading away all our best players - for crap?" Gm Hopkins faced another braying horde today, as he announced that popular, and the talon's most effective reliever, JP Morgan had been dealt to the Des Moines 'something or other...

Talon Talk 1997.4 Best closer in ball dealt
GM Hopkins defended his decision to trade the best closer in the MBBA, McKinlay Washington , today, before the angry Phoenix media hordes and fans. "Once Washington made it clear he wasn't going to re-sign at the end of the year, I had only one option,"defended hopkins,"Try to get something better t...

Talon talk 1997.3 July almost finished...
July is almost finished, and the Talon have resumed their old habits under their old manager Hopkins. "I don't get how a team laden with stars does so shit?"confirmed GM Hopkins. Gm Hopkins has gone back on his 'no tinkering' pledge and has gradually stamped his face on the team once more... Good-by...

And the gloves have come off...following last sims 3-6 record, new (old) Talon GM Hopkins has broken his month old vow of a strict 'hands-off' policy regarding the Talon lineup. "Who plays this guy over this guy ? If anything, he's slightly worse at everything! And look at this, a gold glove shortst...

Talon Talk 1997.1
"That's right bitches, I'm back!" And with the above comment, embattled former/current Talon GM Hopkins was back in the MBBA, and back in charge of the Talon, after a season long hiatus. During Hopkins' absence, interim GM Poppe did the strangest things. He identified holes and problems with the Tal...

Phoenix Talons Open
Hi I'm giving up the Phx Talons; I'll keep running it until a replacement is found, however. For whatever reason, I just can't get into this league. And I've tried!

Re: Bring back a player from CEI
I don't know - I like the randomness of losing a guy to a CEI...I don't think we should be able to bring them back.

Phoenix Talons...1995.4
The Thrill is back in baseball in Phoenix. No, the hapless Talon haven't gone on a tear, they haven't even posted a winning record in a sim, and they have haven't gone more than two weeks without suffering a season ending injury to a key player. (They have now started six different catchers in 1995,...
