"For all the moms and dads who take special time out of their
lives to make sure their kids are able to play the great sport of
baseball, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You prioritize
your family, and that's crucial for a healthy world, to make sure
our families remain strong." - George
W. Bush
In the Forums recently, our resident Stoner, Steve Olson,
renewed his offer to organize an outing to see a game at Milwaukee's Miller
Park. No specific dates or teams have been discussed yet (though I
imagine the Brewers would necessarily be involved somehow), but if you'd be
interested in joining a group of your fellow CFCLers post a note to that effect
in the Forum and we'll take it from there.

In 2006, the teams that finished in 5th-12th
place in 2005 will receive a budget of up to .06 to use toward reacquiring
players who had played out their option with the team (B-contract players). The
exact amount each team receives will be based on how far behind the 5th
place team they are at the end of the year, in terms of a percentage of the 5th
place team's point total.
