Re: The Dredge Report | 40.01 | TurmOil in KC

Neither Cunningham nor the secretary would comment, although Cunningham was last seen at Four Season Hotel Bahrain Bay with multiple bags of luggage and no ring on his finger next to his inaugural championship series ring.

Re: Who do you follow?

I'm a Nationals fan with a soft spot for the Rays due to living down in FL for 6 years. Were you an Expos fan before? I was raised in Montana so I had no local allegiance; I just loved the game and players. My three favorites were Ken Griffey Jr., Omar Vizquel, and Pedro Martinez. After seeing Pedr...

Still can’t figure out how Trojka got in the draft pool, but damn he’s good.
Not complaining about that over here :D -- 21 years old and about to be the face of the franchise for as long as we can hold onto him!

Diamonds and Pearls 2041.9 - It's Alive! The Playoff Streak is Alive!

For the fifth straight year, the Manama Pearls have made the UMEBA postseason. This also continues the streak of never missing the postseason dating back to the inception of the Pearls. (Note: The Pearls also won the championship in their inaugural year of 2037) Finishing with a less-than-stellar 7...

Diamonds and Pearls 2041.7 - Breaks and Changes

Over the last 10 games , the Manama Pearls are 1-9. GM Dillon Lowery, visually unpleased, tersely spoke at the podium during the all-star break media check-in, saying, "I'm unhappy. The guys are unhappy. The fans are unhappy. But we are working on it and making changes." He stepped off the stage be...

The 11 - 0 beating was against Mumbai, not Beirut. :)

Although Beirut still got spanked by the Pearls who swept the Cedars 4-0, 5-2 and 4-3.
