Paul Sheets' house

Ring Ring Ring

Paul: who is it?
Peter: this is Peter Angelos, owner of the baltimore Orioles, we would like you to come be GM for us
Paul: wow Thanks!
Peter So you'll do it?
Paul: of course!
Peter: good, I would like you to try and fix our pitching in the next two years
Paul: Okay, I'll do it.

Michael Johnson's house

Ring Ring Ring

Paul: Michael Johnson we would like you to come to be our assistant general manager. Will you do it?
Michael: of course I will, this is my dream job!
Paul: just to tell you, we are thinking of trading away Daniel Cabrera for a catcher who can throw out runners and hit for decent power.
Michael: that is a great idea, also a free agent I would recommend is Dan Johnson, he hasn't been given much of a chance, but boy can he crush the ball.
Paul: Okay Michael, I'll sign him tomorrow.

The orioles have traded Daniel Cabrera and Steve Traschel to the Mariners for Kenji Johjima and 1000 points.

They have also signed Hideo Nomo, Matt Morris, Dan Johnson, Fernando hernandez, Enrique Gonzalez, Yorman Bazardo and Great Wood

Lookin' good so far.

They have now traded Ramon Hernandez to the Yankees for 5500 points, they will get a starter and be done for the year in trading

The last trade of the season for the Orioles has been made, Great Johnson for Franklin Morales

In the draft picked
Andrew Junge and Jason Maxwell

Junge
top speed 91

Maxwell

Btw Junge will be in the rotation and you guys can have agents

Andrew Junge and Great Johnson. Yeah. Great Johnson. Is he really Kevin Millar? I'm just guessing, based on a 2007 Orioles roster. The '08 game has '07 rosters, right??

Great Johnson is the one and only Kevin Millar! He must of not been in the MLBPA during this time.

Kevin Millar actually never was a member of the MLBPA. He was actually a replacement player during the 1994 strikes, and those players were never admitted into the MLBPA.

And he goes on to draw a walk off MO and be a part of Reversing the curse...ha ha ha.

BIG UPDATE, in the middle of a season that nobody expected, the Orioles are 1 game behind the Yankees for first place entering tonights game with Franklin Morales, the orioles best pitcher this year VS Carl Pavano. Melvin Mora has been crushing the ball this season hitting .336 with 21 homers.

here are the Results to the game

Orioles 12 Yankees 1, the Orioles crushed the Yankees tonight with Franklin Morales going 7 innings and striking out 12. Dan Johnson, Aubrey Huff, and Melvin Mora all hit homers, Nick Markakis went 5-5 with 4 doubles.
Win Morales
Loss Pavano
HR Johnson (16) Huff (13) Mora (22)

Paul Sheets and Michael Johnson are very pleased with the Orioles success. They were thinking of trading Melvin Mora at the beginning of the year, but boy are they glad they didn't do that now, they started off slow, at the all star break they were in last place, 8 games behind the Yankees in a very deep AL East which the first place Orioles and Yankees are only separated by 4 games from the last place Red Sox, right now, anyone has a shot at winning the division. One thing that needs to be improved is their pitching, which was Peter Angelos' request at the beginning of the season.Franklin Morales has been very good with a 3.36 ERA, but Jeremy Guthrie has been awful with an ERA over 6, Andrew Junge has been pitching very well with a 2.53 ERA, but hasn't pitched many innings, rounding out the pitching staff, Matt Morris has a 3.72 ERA, Hideo Nomo has a 4.56 and Adam Loewen has a 5.31, this is an area which could definitely be improved.

Go Junge.
