Star SP Andrade Signs for 3 years
Saturday, October 7th , 2051
Fans hailed the signing of Armando Andrade today as the Fort Worth Cougars starting pitcher came to terms with the club.
Set to make $4,800,000 over the upcoming 3 years, Andrade signed primarily out of loyalty to the organization, thrilling the most diehard supporters who think there isn't much loyalty in a market driven by free agency.
In 25 starts this season, Andrade has recorded 4 wins and absorbed 10 losses. He has pitched 122.1 innings, allowed 124 hits, struck out 105 and has a 4.86 ERA.

Big Day with Bat: Morse 5-for-5
Wednesday, October 4th , 2051
A jubilant Thatcher Morse joined the postgame press conference at Crown Royal Stadium today to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Greenville 84's pitching staff he had just vanquished.
"It may not have looked like it," said the St. Charles Sheens first baseman, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different."
That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-5 hitting performance, which led the Sheens to a 9-4 win.
"He made it look easy," said Jim Dunbar, manager of the 84's. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously."
Thatcher Morse hit a solo-shot off Lorenzo Cuevas in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit an RBI double in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 6th and singled in the 8th.
Presently Morse is hitting .288 with 9 home runs and 55 RBIs. He has played in 146 games and scored 78 times.
