Breaking news-June 1 2008
The Phoenix Smokes rookie pitcher, knox has pitched a perfect game against the seattle mariners today. Knox, 21, becomes the first pitcher since Randy Johnson to pitch a game and that was way back in 2004. This will likely be the best moment for the last place Smoke this season

Eagles call up Ormond,Proctor. Option Hairston and Stone to AAAThe Eagles have called up prospects Proctor and Ormond, the lefty Ormond will be in the rotation thanks to his B stamina and proctor will be asked to get out righties with his Sidearm Wideup. Hairston was 4-0 in april but has gone 1-6 since and has a 6.17 ERA. Stone had a 5.66 ERA and in april was made a reliever thanks to his troubles as a starter.
Eagles inquire about Nomo or James
The eagles are thinking about adding depth to their struggling rotation where Zadan and Pena have ERAs under 4, McDaiel is hovering around the 4.95 range, and Nixon has collapsed and has an ERA in the high 5 but still have faith in his. Ormond has struggled in his 2 starts posting an ERA over 10 in his 2 starts. Nomo is a free agent and James has been picked up by a team and it would cost prospects to get him. James is a lefty and younger than Nomo and would be a better idea although Nomo would cost less prospects and is a veteran who has been in the bigs for over 10 years.

Eagles News-June 9 2008
It was a trying month in may as the Hawaiin eagles went 6-18 during this month to fall 3 behind the Angels in the West and 2 behind the Red Sox in the wild-card. During this trying 1-7 month where they've lost seven straight, they have had to deal with hot teams like the cubs, brewers and astro in interleague play, they are so far 0-7 against the NL. The draft will also be held tommorow.

This is the new lineup for the eagles as of late
CF-Alcheves
SS-Jackson
3B-Brady
C-Griffiths
1B-Quentin
LF-Crosby(Switch Hitter)
2B-Stewart(Lefty)
RF-Colarimino
DH-Fransisco

These hitters have tailed off and Kata and Devanon were taken out of the lineup for batting .215(1 homer) for Kata, and .198(2 Homers) for devanon
Stewart is a shortstop but is being tryed out for 2nd base and is batting .345 oin about 100 AB's. Griffiths had a red hot may and is batting .299 with 8 homers as of now, but our backup catcher has a .301 AVG and 3 homers in 103 AB's but is lefty and with griffiths being righty, it makes since to play griffith in a lefty-heavy lineup[/color][/size]

This is boring when noone follows

I'll follow (Oh wait, I think I said that before...)

I dont really blame people for not following for the fact that I'm not exactly gonna make the playoffs every year and the main reason is probably because I don't have real players. If this thread stays like it is now I think I'll make a thread for the Nationals because its bad and has real players

people are following, they're just not commenting.

E's Draft 2 pitchers
The Eagles today have drafted pitchers Telecamo and Wayne
Wayne,23, is a lefty and has D control, C(95)stamina and throws a top speed of 91 MPH.
Telemaco, 19, throws righty, has C stamina, G control and throws a top spd of 83, but has a 3 forkball and 3 curveball

Eagles make proposal to White Sox for James
The Eagles have offered the white sox for struggling pitcher Hairston, Conti(CF), Chiasson(SS) and 5000 points. They were reportely after either Nomo or James and have decided to go for James instead, if the deal is denied, then Nomo will likely be their pick. James has an excellent 1.96 ERA in 5 starts and 36.1 innings and is also 2-0

Eagles Aquire James
The eagles have made the trade for lefty, Chuck James. He will join the rotation once he gets here

Good job aquiring James. I want to know: What are the Eagles and Smoke's record? And, if you need a boost to your lineup, use some of the players I have in my sig. Just a suggestion.

why did you trade for him when you could have picked him up at the beginning of the season for free?

smoke are 20-51 and I'm 12 games behind the angels at 33-38. I didnt pick him up cause I already though I had a pretty good rotation at the beggining, and the players I gave up had all like F's with an occasional E, and the pitcher I gave up was doing bad too

Regarding my previous inquiry, I'm taking it you don't want to use some of my awesome!!! players?

Your players are good but theres nowhere to put them.

Eagles send down Nixon and call up draft pick Wayne
The eagles have called down Nixon and brought up Wayne, nixon let up 8 runs in 4 innings in his last start in an 8-11 loss to pittsburg in interleague. nixon had an ERA over 7 and his ERA has sky-rocketed this month and last month.

Tidbits:

< Jackson leads the team and leads the American in homeruns in shortstops with 11 and has hit 6 in june after having a rough start

< Stewart has came out of nowhere and has batted .355 with a homer in 122 AB's at 2nd base

< Zadan and Pena both have ERA's of 3.55 and 3.59 respectivly

< Griffiths is second to Mauer in AVG by catchers in the AL(.318)and has 8 homers

< None of the Eagles are on the ballot for the all-star game, but may have some pitchers join like Zadan,McMillan or even Pena

< The Eagles are 5-14 in June to go with an 8-19 mark in May

Oakland A's @ Hawaii Eagles
Wayne made his first MLB start and was marvelous by letting up just 6 hits in 8 IP without allowing a run. McMillan came in and got the save. Solo Homers by Quentin and Devanon provided the offense in a 2-0 win

W-Wayne(1-0)
L-Dinardo(2-5)
S-Mcmillan-(SV 18)
HR-Quentin(10) Devanon(3)
