wow. that's a shame, but I know the union pay scale requirements in the city really ran the costs up for the team.

Pro sports pads attendance. That's a given. But the degree to which the GBL pads is laughable. I'd love to see the League truly restructured, with some MLB participation (ala the new Australian League) and run like an indy farm league. I'd like Kaval and Outcalt completely out of the picture. I'd al...

the GBL's gain is the MLS's loss. Does NO one bother to do any research? "Well, what kind of track record does he have with the GBL?" "Contracts violated, bills not paid, players not paid, team failure after team failure..." "Hey, looks good to me! Just the kind of leadershi...

proved us wrong about what?

The kaval and outcalt are scum and the marshalls are worse.

As has been documented.

Templeton and the guys did a great job in spite of them.

I just hope they find a venue there in Chico for the fans in 2011.

Congratulations to Tempy and the Outlaws. That was quite a run you had, through the playoffs.

It sure will be interesting to see what develops for next season.

"...setting the league record for wins..." I'm begging you, Heat, please. Stop it. You're embarrassing yourself. Just enjoy the playoffs. Maui's in the championship series. Paint your face, grab your "We're Number One" foam finger, and have a blast. You may have deluded yourself ...

Excellent "State of the GBL" assessment, Toro. Given the turnover rate, it makes no sense to me that players' salaries, meal money, travel expenses, venue rent, etc., haven't been covered by a bond...until you realize that, because a bonding company has more stringent financial responsibil...

Well, boys and girls, it just keeps getting better... So the league tells Victoria they can play the 3 games at home, instead of traveling, BUT [Victoria] will have to pay the 3 days meal money for the RoadRunners. Parker ponies up the $18 x days per guy and--wait for it! Here it comes...the guys ge...

You're right, Irish. Blaming the sweep on the umps, only, was pretty lame on my part. However, some of those games were ump'ed so poorly that the guys just folded, in my opinion. Again, Maui didn't pick the umps, but it is no secret the Hawaiian umps are notorious homers. Just a fact. Teams know it ...

GBL south: You're misreading my frustration with the scumbags running the GBL as a personal problem with the Maui team. As you know quite well, the Maui president was also the GM of the STG team. We held a benefit for Cory's daughter, we injected a substantial amount of the STG owner's cash into Mau...
