The Bruins going balls deep...

News out of Los Angeles late last night, is that the Bruins have secured a deal with Alibaba.com to bring the "porn to the park".

The Bruins are having a fake-mustache day to honor one of their own for his good play at the start of the season...

3B Enrique Jaramillo

Team employees will be giving out fake mustaches to all who come to the park that day, young and old -- and 3B Enrique Jaramillo couldn't be happier about it.


" No podría ser más feliz sobre él " added Jaramillo, which means I couldn't be happier about it in Spanish.


The game will take place on Sunday, July 29th when the Oklahoma Droggies come to town.


Jaramillo, when asked about conflicting mustache drama as Oklahoma first  basemen Jules LaFlamme sports a stache' as well, Jaramillo had commented, " Soy confuso. ¿Usted ve el bigote de hombres que uso, y el que está de un violador serial él usa? ¿No es Julio un nombre de la muchacha? Enrique es un nombre fuerte." which translates too,..." I am confused. Do you see the manly mustache I wear, and the one of a serial rapist he wears? Is Jules not a girl name? Enrique is a strong name. "

No matter what Jaramillo does the rest of the year - he's carried the team this far and the Bruins fans should be thankful, he came to Los Angeles last year at the deadline and played horrible - but after going through the arbitration process and signing a contract ext to stay with Los Angeles through the for-see-able future, Enrique has been good and seems like a solid fit to the lineup.

May Ends, June Begins...

The Bruins will either go 18-10, or 19-9 in the month of May which saw them lose first place to the Sacramento Squids, erm Mentalists...

All in all, the team had seven injuries - three to the disabled list, including fan favorite SS Jong-Min Kim. When asked about what's turned around Kim's season, GM Brouillette had the following to say.

" The Gottee" he pushed on, "People don't understand it's power. Kim changed his facial hair up and it totally changed the entire way he played. He went from wide eyed kid, to sex'd up superstar. He didn't go full gottee, he went with that little douchebag thing down from his lip to his mouth. We like his performance though"

I'm 100% sure this is going to jinx Kim but he's finally playing well.

A few quick tidbits from the month.

• Pickup continues to get hurt, has setback.
• Bolden has been average at best, Parsons a bit better.
• Brouthers was picked up from Madison and while his averaged has raised his OBP has dropped.
• LA only played 6 home games the entire month

Brouthers in town... passes all tests...

The Bruins going 3-1 was good last sim, but the big news was that Lee Brouthers passed all tests needed, and has arrived in Los Angeles.

Brouthers who we noted last post, has had a decent year but will continue to help Los Angeles boast one of the better defenses within the league.

Brothers is likely to slide into the #6 or #7 slot int the lineup and add a spark to an otherwise horrible bottom of the lineup.

Fans in Los Angeles get their first taste without the injured Pickup as well as Joe Brooks will make his first official start this season as part of the starting lineup.

Los Angeles acquires Brouthers from Madison

The Los Angeles Bruins today, finalized a deal to bring Lee Brouthers from the Madison Bombers, along with $6M to Los Angeles.

The deal caught the Los Angeles fans off guard, as the team wasn't agressively looking to acquire another bat but, "When Brouthers became available, it was really a no brainer. We've had our eyes on him for quite some time. " added Mike Brouillette

Brouthers is likely to slide into centerfield, moving Augusto Pena to rightfield, and Cooper Newell back to left field where he's a much better defender. Brouthers has near unlimited range.

Currently, he's hitting at a .268/.354/.491 with 6hrs, and 18rbis. Last season, Brouthers .313/.396/.546 with 29hrs 124rbis, preecded by a .291/.385/.472 20hrs 104rbis season. He's stolen eight bases both years.

Brouthers should make his debut on the 16th of May which is the finale vs the New Orleans Looters, as he's still has to pass his initial round of tests.

Finding themselves in an akward position...

Which is what the Bruins do.

The Bruins dropped two of three to the defending champions which is nothing to be generally negative about as the team currently shares the same record as the Bruins at 15-13... They also split the first two games against San Francisco who currently sits a game behind them in the division.

And while the team's offense overall has been in the bottom half like expected (with multiple players hitting the DL for a sim or two at a time, Newell out longer), the starters have been in the top half of the league which is what many predicted.

The bullpen however is another story.

The Bruins sit 15-13, and have blown 7 saves.

CL Morales, has been given the ball only eight times this season and is 4 for 4 in save chances, though; for some odd reason Los Angeles keeps going to guys deep in the bullpen for save chances which has baffled GM Mike Brouillette.

" Our coaching staff has gotten us to the playoffs two years in a row " he commented, " I'm sure they know what their doing and will figure it out. "

... Still, it's concerning to say the very least, as quality guys within the teams bullpen who have career era's at 3 or under are the ones blowing these leads, guys who were generally thought to be the back-bone of the teams late game situations.

User error.

LA had it's worst sim of the season, as a user error started Bolden twice, and played Newell to injury.

Given my stupid error, NOTHING will be said in regards to this sim as I'm irritated.
