Random not so interesting story....

I use to work with a girl named Kelly Gruber. She was shocked I knew who he was.

[The Argonaut]

Can I take the Dodgers? The idea of putting together a Yankees team is kind of boring.

[numbers]

I might wanna put together an Astros team in addition to the Sox one.

[BigRedLedbetter]

I'd love to run a second team (NL) as well. In order Braves, Pirates or Brewers. If nobody picks them.

[@SkitchP]

Poor Lament has gotten himself into quite the project.


ill take cincy as a second team.

[numbers]

I want my Astros wearing their navy blue and gold unis from the 90s.

[BigRedLedbetter]

I want my Astros wearing their navy blue and gold unis from the 90s.

Back when they changed their uniforms like 37 times?

[The Argonaut]

I started putting together a Dodgers team, and it makes me want to put together a Yankees squad too.

[The Argonaut]

fuck the Dodgers. I'll do the Yankees after all. Outside of Sandy Koufax, Duke Snider, and Pee Wee Reese, I guess I'm not as big of a Dodgers fan as I thought. Let me do the Yankees.

[EJ]

I'll take the Pirates, if still unclaimed.

[Kaius]

This is a getting to be a good turnout!

Though, if we end up with enough participants, i do think every team should be open to take before anyone does a 2nd or 3rd team.

[Kaius]

If that issue were to come up.

[@SkitchP]

I have a cincy squad ready to go, but Ill give it time before I post it just in case someone else wants it. Besides, it was pretty easy to go
Big Red Machine+Barry Larkin.

[Lament]

Alright, we've got Argo with the Yankees and EJ with the Pirates.

Skitch, #BRL, numbers, you guys can definitely have your second teams as long as no one else comes in and asks for them.

[E.H. Ruddock]

The orioles might be easier than i thought, so i may do the mariners as well.

[Lament]

Wow. With some of the second teams potentially on the table, we could end up with like fifteen teams in this tournament. Pretty cool.
