"typical" rue grant. it's wearing me out today. i just got done stabbing a $3000 piece of equipment with a pen just to get a snap ring back in place. i broke the pen before i broke the snap ring, so i guess that's good. but i was on my cube floor playing with it and everyone was laughing at me. then it was noted that it was typical of me to be playing with new equipment on the floor of my cube once it comes in off the trucks. and of course, today i'm wearing a skirt and 3" heels.

I know Acosta's been pitching well, but we've used him every day for the last five days except last night. I don't think one day of rest was enough for him. Anyone know why Soriano was not closing?

Especially in place of a guy that's pitched four times in the last five games.

You brought us an unprecedented 14 divisional titles in a row and our first World Championship. We all know you're a brilliant manager. But please... Dear dear Lord...please... For the love of all that is holy. Do NOT bring in Chris Reitsma Part II aka Manny A-Cost-Another-close one-in-the-ninth-inning ever again. I'm sure he's a nice guy but we have Soriano, who's not perfect but so much better. Heck I'll go in and pitch. Just don't put Manny in there for the ninth!!! Other than that keep up the good work. We love you, JB in ATL Dear Bobby Cox,

All you would need to do is sign up at http://forum.braveselite.com and go to the bottom and sign up for a team in the team claims section. Mock Seasons are usually done in the Offseason, but I thought it would be cool to have a GM game going on around June and the trading deadline.
