I played this game for many moons and used to love it! I loved it until I tried HBD.... you should do the same, and you could even get paid to do so!!
We're about to roll in Thome for Seaosn 8 and don't like to wait. 5 of the possible 7 World Series games have been concluded so, we should be ready to go over the weekend.
We currently have only 2 openings and plan on approving owners the same day as rollover, so jump on board. If either opening is filled within the next 75 hours (by 5pm on Sunday I will offer a $15 WIS gift card to the new owner who can complete their given objective).
First up is the former Florida franchise. This team had been to the playoffs for 4 straight years and won the WS a few seasons ago. The owner suddenly abondoned the team this past season, and given that the woner was also the commish, it took awhile to get him replaced so the team's pitching fell aprt completely. As a result they have the #6 overall pick in this years amateur draft. They also have a really good team with some talented ypung pitching. Florida's $15 gift card incentive challenge is to return Florida to the playoffs - if you do so, the $15 gifty is yours.

Secondly is the former St. Louis Franchsie. This team is the reigning and defending AL North Champion and aslo has a nice crop of REALLY young picthers already in the bigs. St. Louis's $15 gift card incentive challenge is to defend the AL North crown - If you win the AL North next season, the $15 gifty is yours.
