New York Builds for the future

Brooklyn - For the second year in a row players move across the Big Apple as the Bombers and Knights exchange players for prospects and draft picks.

SP Willie Carter and 1B Benicio Pineda and a suitcase of unmarked, non sequential $20's are taking the L train to Brooklyn while 3B prospect Clayton Suazo and a 2nd round pick in 2004 head to Manhattan to become members of the Knights.

"We can't think of today...we have to plan for tomorrow," said Knights Owner/GM Eric Lent. "This move not only helps us up by putting Clayton on our roster, but gets rid of two players that were winning us too many games and hurting our chances of getting the #1 overall pick."

The addition of Carter completes the rotation for the Bombers who have had problems with their #5 spot in the rotation. "We would be in first by a good 5 games if we had a competent 5th starter in the rotation, and Carter is that man," stated Brooklyn manager George Welsh. "Management finally listened to me and now we are winning another Pennant." He went on to ramble about how Marietta does not have a chance, but there was no sentence that did not have an expletive in it so we could not print any of it.

The computer GM from Winnipeg was contacted and said, "1001111001010100100010100011." We believe that he was not pleased by the transaction.

We are 2 months from the end of the season and nothing is decided yet. With 9 teams with a legitimate chance of making the playoffs this season will come down to the wire and will make this season one the best in OEL history.
