MLB adds Two Teams in Charlotte and Orlando
Two new teams prepare for their first ever seasons in Major League Baseball. The Orlando Raptors and Charlotte Batdogs are the two newest members to the MLB family, expanding the league to a 32-team league. Orlando has an owner that everyone and their mother will recognize, famous actor Charlie Sheen. Sheen says his goal is to build a "winning" team by temporarily giving up cocaine to invest more money into the team. Sheen will look to hire a General Manager in the upcoming weeks. Charlotte is owned by a man who declares himself "Emperor" Palpatine. Palpatine is a very influential man who can sway others to the "dark side". His goal is to build the Batdogs into an Empire. We will see what direction these two teams will go during the 2008 Expansion Draft. Stay tuned on Sports Center.

One day before the expansion draft, the Raptors have hired inexperienced GM Kendrick Pederson. Pederson has a business degree from Cornell, but does not know much about baseball. This is a highly controversial move by Owner Charlie Sheen. Hopefully Kendrick will read up on his baseball facts. Also, the Raptors will be playing in the AL East, with the Charlotte Batdogs in the NL East, and the Houston Astros moving to the AL West. The Raptors will be forced to compete with the Yankees and Red Sox yearly.

The expansion draft has finished. Here is the roster:

Daiki Hirayama CF
Omi Hsia LF
John Inglett RF
Gary Chapman 1B
Adam Piersoll DH
Jason O'Day 3B

Daiki has been my adopted son since my White Sox log. And yes, there are agents.

April 2, 2008

Orlando Raptors (0-0)
New York Yankees (0-0)

What a way to start your history. Against the 26-time World Champion New York Yankees. The Evil Empire of baseball. The Raptors were hyped for the game, with new manager David Johnston saying, "This is the best day of my 46 year life." Hopefully the Raptors share this optimism. Omi Hsia was responsible for the first hit in Raptors history, a single to center. The Raptors were given a rude awakening, making a few defensive errors, allowing New York to score four runs. However, The Raptors fought right back and tied it on an RBI single from Daiki Hirayama. However, The Yanks struck right back, putting up a three-spot, and taking a 7-4 lead. The Raptors were again calm, and tied it right back up! 7-7 in the 4th! Orlando added on yet another run in the fourth. The Raptora added yet another one on, and could have scored more without some base running mistakes. The Raptors weren't done, and added three more. They led the Yanks 12-7! No more runs were scored, and the Raptors won the first game in their history.

Final:
Orlando 12
New York 7

W- Gregorio 1-0
L- Wang 0-1
HR- Inglett (1)
O'Day (1)

Hirayama 2-6, 2 RBI
Hsia 2-5
Inglett 4-5, HR, RBI
Chapman 5-5, RBI
Piersoll 2-4, RBI
O'Day 3-5, HR, 2 RBI
Bannon 3-5, RBI
Sparks 3-5, 2 RBI
Andrews 2-5
Crozier 2 IP, 9 H, 3 K, 7 R, 6 ER
Gregorio 6 IP, 6 H, 9 K, 0 R, 0 ER
Bouknight 1 IP, 0 H, 0 K, 0 R, 0 ER
