Buffalo Revamped

Coming into tonights game, the opener in a series against the Salt Lake City Sea Monkeys, the Lebowskis will be experimenting with a new lineup. The Lebowskis finally found a suitor for RF Bill Murphy who repeatedly exhibited resentment towards his lack of playing time. Bill Murphy, RP Fernando Parra, and 2B Ryan Miller were traded in-state to the Big Apple for SP Erick Patterson, 1B Ralph Spurgeon, and OF Trevor Delahanty.

Ryan Miller, former starting 2B for the Lebowskis, will be replaced by AAA star Edguardo Fuentes, who's deserved his shot for a while now. Coach Circelli sees Fuentes as lead-off material, which will allow 40/40 man Justin Hutton to move more into the heart of the lineup. Slugger Don Wilkins will also be joining the team tonight, returning from a stint on the DL. Ralph Spurgeon will start in AA, with management keeping a close eye on his progress. Trevor Delahanty will replace Bill Murphy's role as the 4th outfielder after some minor roster complications sort themselves out.

Erick Patterson will join the staff immediately, and will start tomorrow afternoons game. The Lebowskis are very excited for the future, as big arms like Patterson, Sal Harris, Rick Benson, and Larry Franklin aim for the rotation.

It's time to get ready for tonight's game. Hopefully, this move will turn around the franchises past discretions. We will find out shortly. Till then, the Lebowskis abide.

Hey again. Our Lebowskis kind of, uh, stubbed a toe heading out of the gates. A 12-15 start isn't what the new ownership was looking for, but our confidence remains strong. We caught a couple injuries, a couple muffed plays, and, of course, who can forget that streaker that costed us that game just a couple days back. Things will turn around. Slugging DH Don Wilkins is close to returning from a neck strain, and is eager to get back to knocking the ball like the Wilkins of old.

In other news, the Lebowskis have been shopping RF Bill Murphy, looking for a right-handed starting pitcher that can hopefully patch up the young staff full of lefties.

While the big league team is having mixed success, some young achievers are on their way to becoming big Lebowskis. While ace in the making Rick Benson struggles to find his way in AAA, his right-hand man Larry Franklin has shown he can get people out, and has a high possibility of seeing the major leagues in season 11, if not 10. Stephen Mitchell has shown that he will be the future catcher for the Lebowskis. The 24-year old is batting .388, with 5 home runs and 26 RBI, with a 1.036 OPS.

Well, my joint is done, so I'm gonna go, uh, play video games. Till next time, the Lebowskis abide.
