We're Above .500!!!
In a season as tumultuous as this, some normalcy at 46-46 was calming. But in two 3 game series' with the London Underground, our boys have prevailed to a 51-47 record! We reached out to GM Justin Barker for comments. "I am very happy with how this season is progressing so far. When I made my first trade, it was a knee-jerk panic response just to keep the season declining smoothly and not crash immediately as I predicted. That large 3/15 package trade was just meant to begin the rebuild after this season, but they have played beyond my expectations. If we continue like this, I can guarantee you and the city of Arlington that we will see the Bureaucrats play in October."
