Power Pros Forum

May, technically, isn't over yet. See why in the next post.

AAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!! Just had a power outage. Lost almost the entire last week of May. So that game against the Royals? It never happened.

Keep going. A week isn't THAT much, you can always sim the games. This is really good, don't give it up.

I'll be updating this again soon. I'm just taking a...commercial break.

Damn, big business and corporations strikes again

Can't wait, this is one of the logs leading the new wave of franchise logs!

Last time on "Minnesota Twins—A Dynasty From The North":

•The Twins dropped 2 of 3 to the Tigers.
•The Twins also lost the first two to the Royals.
•They now only have a 1/2-game lead over the Tigers in the Central.
•This is the first time I've ever used the • key on my iPod Touch. Pretty cool, huh?

Will the Twins hang on to their slim lead? Will they bounce back against the Royals? What will be the fate of the • key? Find out in this edition of...

MINNESOTA TWINS—A DYNASTY FROM THE NORTH

Nice keeping going on this log it'll be great. And remember you don't have to win the World Series every year, just at least once


Another minor thing I noticed is that Bennybaseball is a Yankees fan and Bobbybaseball is a Mets fan. They almost like the anti of eachother

So true...

Twins (30-23) vs Royals (28-26)

East:

Well he copied me and stole my name so then he tried to make up for it and prove he was a different person by saying he was a Yankees fan.

In other news, Jason Kubel is the AL Player of the Week.

I did not steal your name. And I don't hate the Mets, either.

Kubel is very pleased with his award.

You asked! I answered! It's time for...
