Last season, sjax39 and The Strokes missed the playoffs by just points, as their bullpen completely collapsed against good teams.
The Bravery, meanwhile, blew a 2-0 lead in a best of 5 series to lose in the first round.
Hot Hot Heat finished 3rd to last in all of Coastal.

A very disappointing season for an organization on the rise indeed.

However, there is hope yet.

The castle has now become a kingdom, and its army is ready for battle. (I will try to make this a motif, be prepared!)

The basics:

Majors: The Bravery, Global Up & Comers
AAA: Hot Hot Heat, Coastal
AA: Cage The elephant, Int'l Middle
A+: Gaslight Anthem, NYPD
A-: The Hives, Int'l Sandlot
Rookie: The MGMT: ASS&TITS

The war has begun.
Let the anarchy that is SimYard... begin.

Opening Day:

Majors:
An epic battle between two possible playoff performers, as the Bravery win 5-4 in 17 innings on a RBI single by newbie Mohammed Bergman.
http://www.simyard.com/games/live.php?game_id=2455412

Park:
The Strokes decide to test their mettle against the Machester Militia, owned by Fitz24, and the two armies really duke it out. The Strokes took the lead in the first inning, though, and thanks to stellar pitching by former Scrubs Hunter Nathan Hinojosa, take the win 9-7.

Nightwolf is so weird...

AAA: Another game, another close war, and another victory!
Against the Scrantonites, the Heat take the lead in the 5th and hold on for a nailbiting win, 3-2.
http://www.simyard.com/games/live.php?game_id=2480461

AA: The Elephant storm out of the gates as well, and capture a 3-0 victory over the Moustache, who finished 86-76 last season.

A-: Finally, the empire stumbles, ever so slightly, losing in EXTRAS to one of the top teams in ISL last year.

However, The Strokes give a strong rebound effort for the organization, defeating yet another big name squad, the Wormtown Wolverines, whom patsoxcelts beat last season in playoffs, 7-2, Jonathan Barbosa getting the win.

Yes, the guys made it up, it's not the only acronym league name.
There's EPIC, FAIL, WTF, HELL, and NYPD.
More updates in a sec, I just got on...

Is this an organizational log or just a log for The Strokes?

Organizational Log, though the main focus I will try to put on the Strokes.

Team records:
The Bravery: 5-1
Hot Hot Heat: 4-2
Cage The Elephant: 3-3
Gaslight Anthem: 4-2
The Hives: 0-6 :(
The MGMT: DRAFTING TONIGHT!

Thank you, I have the 17th pick in the draft though, so I just hope I can draft one or two REALLY good players...
Eh, I should be fine, it's just like fantasy baseball... sorta ;)

Redemption has come for The Strokes.
After accumulating both of their season's losses at the hands of Patsox's army, the Strokes finally pull a stunning victory off, winning 8-6 on a huge rally late in the game.

After the game, Elijah Macon, the fan favorite of the team, had this to say:
Elijah Macon wrote:
It was just amazing.
I thought we were down for the count, but all of a sudden we're tied, and I end up coming up and giving us a 3 run lead and the deciding runs.
Those guys just seemed so deflated after the victory, and I saw the manager toss a Gatorade cooler or two across the dugout.
I hope we will see them again, maybe even in the playoffs.
If we make it, that is.



In other news, the teams' songs have been revealed, and immediately their downloads on iTunes went up a few percentage points:

The Bravery: An Honest Mistake (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8vzbezVru4)
Hot Hot Heat: Middle Of Nowhere (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Nk2iNjLYuk)
Cage The Elephant: In One Ear (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Si8qP_isBb4)
Gaslight Anthem: I'da Called You Woody, Joe (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgWzOElhs0w)
The Hives: Bigger Hole To Fill (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwDOUP8bDlg)
The MGMT: Kids (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIEOZCcaXzE)

Finally, The Strokes have made their appearance in the Park standings, at 8th in park. Not bad ;)

New poll up!

The Strokes have decided to test their mettle against the Holts Summit Hilltoppers... the #1 team in park!
http://www.simyard.com/games/live.php?game_id=2534177
How will they fare?
Recap later!
