May 27 2073: Lazaro Rios tosses perfect game. - by kris on March 26th, 2026
Lazaro Rios, the control beleaguered pitcher actually lost his starting pitcher role and began this season as a setup guy. After some early season shuffling, sending Burt Hobson back to AAA to work out some problems, Rios was elevated back to his SP4 role. He has gradually been getting stronger and fixing his control issues, but today May 28th, 2073 he was perfect. 27 up/27 down with surprisingly only 4 Ks. Rios when interviewed immediately stated that now, "He is going to Disney World".
Apr 21 2073: CF Séance - by kris on March 17th, 2026
A group of disgruntled fans, upset over missing a key waiver, staged a sage burning event in CF to dispel bad juju from the ballpark of the nativity.
Other fans have felt this was quite strange and possibly counterproductive. We reached out to Centerfielder Al “Clubber” Lang for comment and he simply stated that he “pitied the fool”.
