OFF SEASON MOVES: Roster Shake Ups Rumored
4/6 – 4:30 PM – Current Official Team and Player List
- NEW TEAM REGISTRATION IS CLOSED. Individuals may still sign-up to join an existing team, or as a free agent. But no new teams.
4/5 – 5:00 PM
- 12, 12, 12. Done and done. On the Fence becomes the 12th team of the season to sign up.
3/31 – 10:15 AM
- 11 TEAMS IN. Fear and Loathing on the Base Path becomes the 11th team to register for the Spring. One more spot for a perfect 12.
3/26 – 12:30 PM
- Kris Garcia will be joining the Rossi Posse. It’s confirmed. The triple crown winner and World Series champion gave up on winning last season and has continued the downward spiral in full, joining the perennial cellar dwellers. The only question, what color will his pirate shirt be?
- He’s out, he’s in, he’s…a total mess. Alex Filides confirmed that he will in fact be re-joining Clubber Lang after weeks of holding out. Last season’s MVP was team shopping, and even took to posting an ad on Craig’s List looking for a team that would have him. So, why doesn’t any other team want the previous season’s MVP? Unnamed sources cite the “glove” incident, as well as his status as the league’s top bellyacher.
3/12 – 7:00 PM
- Mike Lemaire has announced he won’t be returning to the best named team of 2009, Joe Buck Yourself. Lemaire will join the Canvassers, the first free agent from another team to sign with the World Champions.
- The Clubber Lang dispute with the Summer 2010 MVP is reportedly around playing positions. Clubber who had both the Cy Young Award winning pitcher and the MVP, traditionally given to the best hitter, seemed to have their playing positions worked out. However, it seems that the best hitter now wants to be a pitcher, despite that meaning less pitching time from the Cy Young winner. So, it’s a big mess over at Clubber Lang, and the next thing you know someone’s going to want to wear a glove while they play the field.
3/9 – 9:30 PM
- Word leaking out of the Alex Filides camp tonight is that last season’s MVP has not committed to returning to Clubber Lang and may be shopping around a new team. His defection would be a major blow to the already anemic Clubber offense. No official comments from either side, but after three seasons their quest for a World Championship may be coming to an end.
- The Gnats have agreed to return as was previously rumored. It is unclear at this point if they plan to once again be the only team to beat the Blandsford Barnburners.
3/7 – 5:30 PM
- First NEW TEAM of the season registers, the Masterbatters. Unrelated to Masterbatters who were in the league for four seasons and went 14-30 during that time. Not a sequel, a totally different universe.
3/5 – 11:45 AM
- Rossi Posse is officially BACK. Brian Clapp confirmed the team is thinking of a name change, and certainly won’t be “good”, but they will be back.
3/3 – 8:15 PM
- Mr. Party’s Waddle is returning, despite global warming threats to their brother penguins
3/2 – 5:00 PM
- Paul Costello confirms World Series runner ups Flaglove will return…but with a new name: Brosephorous Rex.
- Canvassers fill one hole in their lineup with Steve Dubois who is coming out of retirement to help defend the title.
- Alcoholics threaten to return for Spring…it has something to do with step 9.
3/1 – 7:00 PM
- Nicholas DiCrosta has re-signed with Scared Hitless after just one season in Canvasser green, leaving the World Champions with two big holes in their lineup.
- No Rossi…no Posse? Brian Clapp has said that the Posse’s days may be over in the PWL, and is either looking for some new players or a new team.
- Jake Tomko has confirmed the Blandsford Barnburners will be back and are expected to be as cocky as ever.
3/1 – 9:30 AM
- It’s official…the reigning World Champion Canvassers are splitting up. Matt Dreyfus confirmed that he is re-joining his old team, Scared Hitless, and has already signed a deal.
- There were also rumors Saturday that Kyle O’Grady was following his teammate to Hitless, but no confirmations from either camp yet.
- Speaking of the Hitless return to the league, former Manager Patrick Browning was the first person to be formally signed this season and has guaranteed a Championship for his squad.
- Four time Player of the Week keychain holder Tony Cani is returning to the league this season and will re-join the Canvassers.
Barnburner Nation, Mar 1, 02:05 PM:
That guaranteed championship has to make it’s way through Blandsford, and we all know that isn’t gonna happen. These teams should be having dreams of 2nd and 3rd place, cuz 1st is already locked up
Loyal Ass Motherf*cker, Mar 1, 10:31 PM:
Barnburners are loyal to the game. We don’t chase the paychecks. We chase the ‘ships. And we get the ships. And we’ll beat your ass while doing it.
Harvey Schwartz, Mar 2, 03:16 AM:
As Press Secretary for the Barnburners, the spring champions were disappointed to miss out on the summer season and chance to continue their dominance. However the Barnburners are looking forward to the warm days of spring, freshly cut grass (hopefully), and many a slaughter-rule. Blandsford is here to show that spring of 09 was in no way beginners luck and that Barnburners and Wiffle Ball will become synonymous.
They look forward to challengers, if they exist, and have yet to forget the 10 minute 60 pitch atbat and taunting stolen base in the WS. It fuels them.
As for our arrogance…
F*ck you.
but really we love you.
Better than you, Mar 2, 07:22 PM:
I am better than you.
AA, Mar 2, 08:05 PM:
The Alcoholics will be making a few roster changes this season. Nothing to major but some negotiation talks are in the works to add a few bats and maybe a new league pest. Barnburners better not be to cocky this year when you face Alcoholics Anonymous.
A.A, Mar 2, 10:33 PM:
So spring training has begun and everyone wants to talk shit already. As you all know by now I talk more shit then everyone and that wont change this year. However, we have picked up a new player and he will be league pest. As for drinking ourselves out of the playoffs last season, well that won’t happen again. That is a guarantee. We will drink ourselves to a World Series victory! And off topic we will challenge any other team to a drinking contest at any time during the season. You should all know who this is but in case you don’t its the ace and drinking king of the Alcoholics!!
Tomko, Mar 2, 10:46 PM:
I like these Alcoholics already.
A.A, Mar 2, 11:30 PM:
That’s cool but when you meet us you will probably change your opinion lol. We are assholes and everyone else knows that but we like to drink and play wiffle ball since our baseball playing days are over. We talk a lot of shit and everyone will hate us especially if r boy comes back
B.B., Mar 3, 04:07 AM:
i believe in American equality of opportunity. as such, you will have the same opportunity to be butt raped by the barnburners like everyone else. and it will happen. so lube up and bend over

is there an echo in here?, Mar 3, 04:48 AM:
is there an echo in here?
A.A, Mar 3, 03:21 PM:
Wow so much shit being talked. This is what makes the pwl so good. Everyone can run their mouth on here and nobody thinks twice about it. I love it but as for being butt raped, you might wanna think twice about that cause it probably won’t happen. I can already see that this year will be better then last though cause there is a team that’s just like us. Except we drink more of course lol. Btw the alcoholics will be there Sunday for the test of the radar gun
