USA Today

MLB has announced that the Baton Rouge Aces would be moved to the AL Central. In the realignment the Cleveland Indians would move to the AL East as they are the eastern most team in the AL Central. This move comes a little over 2 years after the Aces moved to Baton Rouge. The change will take effect for the 2012 season.

As I have started the season.

Uh oh, don't think the central wanted that... :eek:

thanks and lol what else would go with Baton Rouge Aces.

I'd say BAR could work, since most teams just use their location anyway, not team name.

I changed it to just BR

BAT could work, for the first three letters in Baton

maybe so, but I'll keep it at BR for now.

I'm taking a break from this while I'm figuring out what's going on. I hope to find out soon. It actually started on my last screenshot. My budget shot from over 100,000,000 to 6 million and my cash automatically drops to negative numbers. I'll find out how to fix it or whats wrong.

thanks

I Guess this dynasty is over for now. I'm sad to say it, but. I can't get that problem solved without having to cheat. This has been my most succesful team. We won my only World Series as a poster of dynasties. I will start another one soon and hope it will be as good as this one
