Well, you could call the Brooklyn team the Trolley Dodgers, but there are no more trolleys in Brooklyn, so how about:
The Brooklyn Guys Who Run Into The Street and Try Not to Get Hit by Cars?

Well, you could call the Brooklyn team the Trolley Dodgers, but there are no more trolleys in Brooklyn, so how about:
The Brooklyn Guys Who Run Into The Street and Try Not to Get Hit by Cars?
:D
Okay, my serious idea is:
The Brooklyn Kings.
Since Brooklyn= Kings County
Lol, Love the first one, but it wouldn't fit into the logo :(, ao I'll be going with the Brooklyn Kings, thanks for the suggestion!
I'll be done with my draft likely Thursday, but in the meantime, I'll introduce my dynasty rules and information:
Dynasty Rules:
-No exploiting the AI too bad:D
-Only one Offseason FA signing of 85+ per offseason.
-Only one in-season FA signing of 85+ per season
Dynasty Information:
-Mogul Difficulty
-I will be managing/ GM-ing the Portland Beavers, and all other teams, including the New Orleans Flamingos will be computer-managed.
-Both Expansion teams will have $20,000,000 to start with.
-There will be no DH in either league.
-I will manage the first game of each series for Portland in PBP one-pitch mode, then sim the rest of the series and give detailed recaps for manager games and not-so-detailed ones for simmed games.
The expansion draft will be 50 rounds, and I'll post a recap as a Spreadsheet with player name, round drafted, peak and overall and position.
I'd give each expansion team 20M
With the way the budgets are looking (30M about for each) It looks like i might have to.Quote:

First game coming up soon!
http://willhear.com/images/beavers_logo.gif
Before I went to manage my first game, I set the final lineup for the season:
The Lineup:
1. Juan Pierre: My easy pick for the leadoff spot, with a 92 contact and 94 speed, the two most important skills for a leadoff man.
2. Delmon Young: Has a 91 contact, which we need to move over Pierre for when we need get him on base so the power guys can drive him in.
3. Kory Casto: Best power we have with an 84.
4. Miguel Montero: Has an 84 power, and the best overall rating on the offense besides Young.
5. Mark Kotsay: Has an 86 contact, which will help protect my best hitters at the top.
6. Jorge Meske: 80 Contact makes him the best hitter left.
7. James Desi: I like his 93 eye, but not much else for offense.
8. Clint Barmes: Only in the lineup for his defense
9. Pitcher’s Spot
April 1st, 2011
Beavers vs. Orioles
Portland, Oregon
Daniel Cabrera vs. Jason Vargas
1st Bill Hall had an RBI single with 2 outs, and Vargas had 3 K’s in the inning.
1st I motioned for Juan Pierre to bunt, which he popped up to make one out.
Young and Casto also flied out to end the inning.
2nd Daniel Cabrera had an RBI single. This is going to be a looooooooong season…
Double play to end it, and it’s 2-0 O’s.
2nd Montero is the Franchise’s first baserunner, with a walk to start the inning.
James Desi had a sacrifice fly for our first run, and Barmes hit another sac fly to get the corners with runners, 2 out and Vargas up at the plate, who strikes out.
End of 2, it’s 2-1 Orioles.
3rd We brought the infield in with a runner on second and one out, but it made no difference as Nolan Reimold hit a 2-run homer. Two K’s in a row got Vargas out of the third.
3rd Cabrera has thrown 50 pitches through 3 innings, allowing only 1 hit now.
4th 1-2-3 for Vargas, he now has 6 strikeouts.
4th Kotsay now has the 1st and 2nd hits in franchise history, both doubles. It’s one out for Meske. Desi singled with 2 out, which was not enough to bring in Kotsay. Barmes grounds out and strands two.
It’s 4-1 Orioles.
5th After a very costly error by Pierre, it’s 2nd and 3rd with one out. This time, I’ll take my chances with Bill Hall instead of Reimold. Hall singled in one run, and Luke Scott struck out. A THROWING error occurred on a easy ground ball to first, and Ramon Hernandez had 2 unearned runs score on the play. A walk to Aubrey Huff made me curse at my defense and call the bullpen, with Vargas at 101 pitches. A Strikeout to Daniel Cabrera signaled the end for Vargas tonight, and a glove-throwing and chair tossing episode by Jason.
5th Jesus Guzman came into hit for Vargas.. and knocked a triple into the left field gap.
I told Delmon to scarify fly Jesus in, but a 381-foot homer to right works too. 7-3 Orioles. After Casto K’ed, Montero got a double into right-center field. Kotsay then flied out to end the inning.
6th Volquez came into pitch. After a single by Brian Roberts, he stole second AND third, then got knocked in by Jones’ double. Two more fly outs led us to the bottom of the sixth.
6th Two walks to Desi and Meske, followed by a single by Barmes, led us to Bases-loaded, no out. I left Edinson into hit, since we’ll need him to go more than 1, and he got the RBI single! Pierre then got his first hit for the Beavers and knocked in another. Delmon Young grounded into a 3-6-3, but got a run in. Casto doubled, and suddenly we are forgiven for our terrible play earlier by the Baseball Gods and it’s 8-7! Thanks to the four-run 6th, it’s now 8-7 O’s after 6.
7th Despite a balk, Volquez got Hernandez looking, and a ground out to third. The O’s strand Scott at second, and we go to the bottom of the 7th.
7th I asked Meske to bunt for a hit, mainly to move the runner over, but also try and get Kotsay to second after his walk. We need to play small ball with the little power we have. He bunted for the hit, and I’m letting Desi hit. A wild pitch moves the runners up, and I call for the sacrifice fly. It works, getting Kotsay in to tie it at 8. After 7, it’s now tied at 8, with Volquez going out for his 3rd inning.
8th After a double by Fahey, Roberts lined out, but we have the two best Baltimore hitters coming up after Adam Jones. Yes! Two lineouts, and a groundball and we have the chance to take the lead for our closer.
8th Pierre botched another bunt attempt, and Young lined to left, as did Casto. Going into the ninth, it’s still tied.
9th Bill Hall singled to open the inning, and Scott walked. Joseph Bisenius came into pitch, after 76 great pitches from Volquez. In just 8 pitches, Joe get a K, a lineout and a grounder for an out. We’ve got a chance to win it now, in our first game of our franchise…
9th Montero led off and flied out, and Kotsay struck out. It’s all up to Jorge Meske now, who has two walks so far. A pop-out will send us to extras.
10th Bisenius is left in, and strikes out the first guy he faces, along with the second. And third.
10th James Desi, Clint Barmes then most likely a pinch hitter in the bottom of the first extra inning. Barmes doubled. Cole Armstrong will now hit. I also put Ian Vanderveer at second to run, since he has a 95 speed. Armstrong only popped up, with Pierre up to decide the fate of the game, which he can not come through for us, by grounding out.
11th Ramon Troncosco is our new pitcher. Excellent work by Bisenius. After a pop-out, Hall singles through the middle for Luke Scott. Ramon gets him swinging at a fastball clocked at 95, and Ramon Hernandez is now up. He flew out.
11th Delmon flies out to left, and Casto is now up. Casto draws the walk, for Montero to hit. Montero hit a 300-foot liner to right, but Reimold could not handle it, so it’s 1st and second for Kotsay to hit. Mark flew to right, but Casto tagged up and reached third, Jorge Meske at the bat against Chris Ray. Meske can not drive him in, so we’ll be playing another…
12th on Huber cam in to pitch. Huff singled, and a pinch hitter will be up now. He gets a single, now 1st and 2nd, nobody out. The sac bunt is perfect, and Brian Roberts is hitting, but I’m intentionally walking him to face Adam Jones. A flyout brings in a run, it’s now 9-8 in favor of Baltimore. A groundout gets us to the 12th, with a 1-run deficit to make up.
12th Jamey Carroll will pinch-hit for Vanderveer, who has poor hitting vitals. Look for him to get about 140 pinch-running opportunities this season, and 10 starts if no big injuries take place. Carroll Pops out, and we’re done to our last bench player, Jose Coronda to pinch hit, who singles for Pierre, who’s 1-6 tonight. Pierre pops up, and we lose a very tough one on our opener.
MVP of game: Bill Hall: 4/6, 2 RBI.
LVP of Game: Juan Pierre: 1/7, missed out on a couple clutch opputinities and had a huge error in the 5th that led to two runs. Also popped out on 2 bunt attempts.

April 4th, 2011
The Beaver Dam
Portland, Oregon
Red Sox (1-2) vs. Beavers (1-2)
Clay Buchholz vs. Matt Smith
1st Matt Smith got a K and two flyouts, and besides a Jed Lowrie single and steal, that was all.
1st Back-to-back singles by Delmon and Casto get us one out and 1st and 2nd for Montero. Montero promptly smashed a 402-foot bomb the opposite way for a 3-run homer. Meske walked, but got no where, so it’s 3-0 Portland after 1.
http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/...r3cLy/340x.jpg
2nd Once again, Smith let one baserunner on, but no further damage occurred.
2nd Barmes was out on the bunt, so no hits or walks that inning for us. Buchholz has throw 42 pitches through 2.
3rd Another one-baserunner inning. Still 3-0.
3rd Casto walked with one out, and Montero will get another chance. Montero strikeout, as Kotsay moves Casto to third with a single into right. Meske struck out to end the inning.
4th This inning, Matt doesn’t surrender a baserunner. He’s thrown 56 pitches. With 2 strikeouts and no walks.
4th Despite a walk from Smith, the Desi, Barmes and Pierre couldn’t help him out.
5th After 2 walks, there was two on, one out, and Barmes made a very costly error on a high-pop up right to him. Lowrie struck out with the bases loaded, now two outs for Jacoby Ellsbury, who smacked a 409-foot shot to right center to take the lead. Reddick did strike out to end the inning, but now Smith has 90 pitches thrown and Barmes has a very short leash.
5th Montero doubled with two out, and Kotsay got his 2nd hit of the day. Now 2 outs and two on for Jorge Meske, who pops out. Yet another missed opportunity with RISP.
6th Now Smith is at 103 pitches after walking Cora with two away, and this is his last batter. Cora stealing leads to Wagner getting intentionally walked, but the Sox fooled me, bringing in Papi to hit. Papi then homers for 3 RBI, and Troncosco is the new pitcher. He gets Crisp right away, and the score is 7-3 Boston going into the bottom of the sixth.
6th Desi singles, and Barmes walks. Troncosco walks, and I’m leaving him into bunt. We can’t afford to have a guy come into the sixth, throw 4 pitches and leave the game. His bunt is a success, and Pierre will get to hit. If it was a one or two-run game, I have his sacrifice fly, but we need 4 to catch up, and we’re running out of opportunities. Pierre is walked for Delmon Young with the bases loaded. His single brings in one, and Casto will now have his chance with the bases loaded. He walked, not Montero, our best hitter today, gets to hit with the bases still juiced. Montero hits a fly ball to Crisp, but Pierre easily tags and scores our sixth run. Kotsay flew out to end it, but it’s now 7-6 Boston.
7th Ramon gets Boston 1-2-3 with 2 flyouts and a strikeout.
7th Jesus Guzman is the pinch-hitter with a guy on first and two out. Guzman K’s and Bautista will pitch the 8th for us.
8th Bautista does perfect, getting 3 up, 3 down on 11 pitches.
8th After two flyouts, Casto gets yet another walk, and Montero will hit and groundout.
9th Joseph Bisenius will make his second appearance this season to face Wagner, the pitcher slot and Crisp. Lopez singled, and Crisp bunted him over for Jed Lowrie. Despite a wild pitch, Bisenius struckout Lowrie, so a chance for comeback in the 9th.
9th Kotsay grounded out, Meske struck out and James Desi grounded to third.
Final Score: Red Sox 7, Beavers 6
MVP of Game: Jacoby Ellsbury: Had the grandslam to give the Red Sox the lead for good.
LVP of Game: Clint Barmes. Went 0-3, but had that huge error on an easy flyball.

So far, the only thing I like about our first 4 games is the attendance. We sold out the first game, and then had 42,000 for the next to Baltimore Games, and 45,000 for this last game against the Red Sox. Hopefully this trend will continue until our team can find our groove, then the people will come to see good baseball., not just baseball.
Ok, this is a little late, But I'll post this:
My last 2 dynasties were mainly from a GM's point of view, and with just simming, I got pretty bored of it. This time, I'm mainly the manager of the team, but will also do trades at some point, but probably later, closer to the deadline. So let me introduce my manager (little trip back in time here)
February 12th, 2011
Lumarsa Named Manager of Portland
In a press release yesterday, team owner Mark Cuban announced the new manager of his Beavers team: Chuck Lumarsa.
Lumarsa has no experience at managing a team except when he managed the Montgomery Biscuits of the Tampa Bay Rays in 1997-1998. Since then, Lumarsa has done this in baseball:
1999- Bench coach of Tampa Bay Rays
2000- Got his first job in a front office, working as an assistant for the Arizona DBacks. Quit after one season.
2001- Was out of baseball.
2002-2006- Worked as an assistant for the Oakland A's.
2007- Worked for rotoworld.com.
2008- Was the GM of the Nation League Champion Chicago Cubs.
2009- Announced that he wanted to become a manager for a team at 40 years of age. The Colorado Rockies hired him as Manager of their Colorado Springs AAA affiliate.
2010- Hired as Portland Beavers Manager.
Lumarsa signed a 3-year contract today, which will run through the 2012 season.
Wait, I'm confused. Are you starting the 2011 season over again?
No, I just forgot to introduce my manager, so doing that, and then getting back to the season, where I'm 1-3. Sorry for confusing you :pQuote:
