The Beginning of the End?

"From what I hear, you couldn't hit water if you fell out of a fucking boat." (Crash Davis to Ebby "Nuke" Laloosh in "Bull Durham")

It's the beginning of the end for Denver.

The team is still called the Denver Dynasty, but that will obviously change in time. The new owner, Glenn Polyn, has already chosen the next city - St. Charles, Missouri - but has yet to announce the final team name. That will be revealed, along with the new team logo, during the offseason (perhaps during the parade after the team wins the BSA championship).

The team had a 2-3 record during the most recent sim. It's a miracle that the team is able to win, all things considered. Changes to the rosters and the lineups are already taking place. Several players - including SS Jonathan Glover and reliever Cor van Ginderen - have been placed on the disabled list, and will be replaced by players in the minor league system.

The team sits at 70-54, and the new ownership is planning to do everything to keep the team in first place. It won't be easy. It's not a pretty team, but we've won a title with less in the past.
