Sweet read Buddy! I am finally getting my team off the 7 day lineup so I have hopes that we can climb when the FAC actually uses one of our SP to start.

Sir Kivlochan does have a nice ring to it doesn't it? I'm happy to be in the green actually after the horrendous start we had. Great job Buddy!

I am shocked that Ayr is not in the blue. Our only objectives at the moment are to make money and win at least 50 games.

GRE has been a big letdown for me to this point ... double the salary with no improvement in the win-loss column

The Doug Ross may be beginning fairly soon in Richmond. Too bad our good pitching prospects are down in A ball right now.

My Ross prediction: Call-up this year, full-season next.

That's what I'm thinking with him. I wish either his batting eye or power were better, but that skill set is awfully reminiscent of Stefan Miller's. I don't think Ross will quite have the average Miller had, and that will yield a lower OBP, but he should be more of a extra-base gap hitter than Miller was, too.
