Neat? It's feeling a lot like Christmas on The Front Range, that's what's Neat! Moving to the PEC, and beating your three biggest rivals along the way makes it even Neater!
Also Neat, is the news that the Commissioner's office dropped in last nights podcast. If you chose not to listen to all the Aurora-West Virginia chatter, tune in around 53:30 for the big announcement!

Gunner's retirement will cause great sadness in the Camarillo State Hospital. I think there's a gentleman there who once pinned all his hopes on Gunner. He will respond to his retirement as if it were a death.

My manager unexpectedly decided to retire. Kind of strange after the season Reno had. A familiar name will be managing the Zephyrs next season!

Glancing around, there were quite a lot of staff retirements this year. I myself had 4 people on my PEBA team alone retire, my BC, PC, Scout and Trainer.

I am quite pleased that Catcher Roberto Jimenez was claimed on waivers by Florida. I really like him and want him to have a shot to succeed. I just didn't have a spot for him.

Sad to see Robles go. He was my first big trade acquisition in CL. I also don’t know how many times I harangued poor old Mr Mayberry to trade me MacGruder during my tenure, but firmly believe that may have ultimately been what forced him to Camarillo...Lions wrote: ↑Sun Apr 05, 2020 1:35 pm Huge congrats to Greg and the Alleghenies on their first PEBA championship!

Robles is a Crystal Lake Legend along with his close relationship with former catcher Norihide Yamamoto. What a man for winning a ring with 2 different teams in back to back years.Knights wrote: ↑Sat Apr 25, 2020 12:13 amSad to see Robles go. He was my first big trade acquisition in CL.
