Power Pros Forum

Hey Powerpros gang! I was bored and thought, hey why not do a season log again, and get in the baseball spirit? I'm gonna do just that. I have two general storylines thought out.
1) Marvin and Chief are Co-GMs of a team.
2) Use League mode to create a high-school tournament starring pitcher Ren Mihashi.

Oh yeah, this'll have to be MLBPP 2007

Chief Chieferton was woken up by a loud rapping sound on the door. It was a day like any other, quite unassuming. Little did he know it would be a day that would change his life. After wiping the sleep out of his eyes, and making himself look halfway presentable, he plodded down the stairs and thrust open the front door. He was greeted by the goofy, bespectacled face of his old college roomate Marvin.
"If you're looking for money, I don't have any." said Chief slamming the door.

Marvin stuck his foot in the door. "This is really important!" he said.

"Oh all right..." Chief groaned.

Marvin marched inside and rummaged through Chief's pantry. He pulled out a few snickerdoodles and poured a tall glass of milk.

"Well Chief," he mumbled through a mouthful of cookie, "I was eating my morning bowl of Fruity Pebbles and out came a flyer telling me I had just won an oppurtunity to be the GM of the Marlins!"

"What?!!?" Exclaimed Chief, "That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard!"

"True Story, apparently, Kellogs bought out the Marlins' franchise and the rights to 2 expansion teams." Marvin said. "And you're gonna help me with this job!"

"Well, my life's been a wreck since Patty left me for that yoga instructor in the Bahamas, what have I got to lose?" Shrugged Chief

"That's the spirit!" said Marvin patting Chief on the back. "I think..."

To be continued...

So, basically, this'll be like the Reds log (audience participation, game logs, general silliness) but with more story updates from me. This will be done using regular Marlins rosters on MLBPP 2007, and games will be played manually. Does this sound good to y'all?

Next update: Chief and Marvin go to Florida.

Jack Merluzzi: This just in baseball fans! In addition to the Marlins, Kellogg's has bought two new expansion teams in the National League. Here's Mia with the scoop.

Mia: Thanks Jack. The first team announced is the Fresno Froot Loops. The Froot Loops will be playing their home games at senic Rainbow Beach Stadium, the perfect match for their vibrantly colored uniforms. They have been placed in the always exciting NL West. The other new kids on the block are the Pawtucket Krispies. They have blue uniforms and play at Suburban Ballpark in the NL East

Jack: This brought to you by Guido's Subs.

Cool. I'm a following. This really puts me in the mood for baseball... can't wait for Lent to end so I can play Wii again.

Interview With Marvin for PawaPuro Life Magazine
By: Boris Milton

Q: How do you feel about becoming manager of a top caliber professional sports franchise out of the blue like this?

A: Hungry, do you have any snickerdoodles?

Q: Do you have a history in baseball?

A: Yeah, I was on the Tulips with you! Don't you remember? Ah, college... Best three years of my life. I was picked up by the Reds in the 80th round of the draft and made it all the way to AAA before deciding to pursue my dream of becoming a professional cat groomer.

Q: How are you going to "Marvinize" the Florida Marlins?

A: Take the team to Guido's for some Italian subs after every game! And also hold a mascot race with giant cookies running around.

Q: Have you made any big changes or transactions yet?

A: I've hired my nephew Darvin as a birthday present. He's 21 and a killer CF. I'm also looking forward to hiring some new staff

I'll follow this!

Heh, Darvin Lesman?

I'll follow as well.

Me = following.

Me > Following... does that make sense?

I'll follow.

Is this over cuz I am following

Yeah... I haven't seen redsfan for a while. He was active for about a week, then left again. I guess some of us do have lives.

Brewers, you goofball.

I'm sorry... I knew the truth would reveal itself sooner or later. Haha, if my pals knew I played PowerPros and posted on a forum about it, I probably wouldn't have a life anymore. I've also been busy with that website in my signature.

So are you still doing this log or not and how is Corban Joseph coming alongJ
