Americans May Have a Rookie of the Year and Possible Coach of the Year?

(CBL Newswire) - from the Dodgeball team in Kelowna

The Kelowna Americans have never had either but are close to getting both awards says insiders. In my best guess if the Americans can erase an almost 20 game lead and win the division how do the Americans not get Coach of the year? When Mr. Wesley of the the Typhoon was asked he disagreed by saying"That coach in Kelowna deserves nothing as long as I'm in the farmers,I'll alway be twice as good as that moron" Very harsh words I know. On the brighter side Shitrags coach has had plenty of praise for the uprise in Kelowna.Team owner Mr. B-Mac had this too say"It is great to see Vancouver have someone creeping up on them,That Kelowna team has been on a Rampage".

The Rookie of the year talks are heating up also. Outfielders Luther Wiuf taken 14th over and just drafted had no time to practice in the minors and Lathan Tabara acquired from Owen Sound have a battle with each other for possible rookie of the year.Lathan has 10 HRS to Wiufs 9 .Lathan had this to say about the battle"I'm going to finish better for sure,Luther only has a 31 for power and I have an 86 so his HRS have been lucky".Luther Had this to say"I will have way more stolen bases and I can keep up in every other category,Just hand me the award"

RF *Tabara, Lathan 4 SB, .299 Avg, 36 G, 127AB, 25 R, 38 Hits, 6 Dbls, 10 HRs
CF *Wiuf, Luther 15 SB, .305 Avg, 33 G, 141AB, 34 R, 43 Hits, 6Dbls, 9 HRs

We were also able to catch up with Kelowna owner Frank Halpa to see what else this raging maniac has up his sleeve. I am glad for the sudden turn around as the young legs have really helped the lineup.The Deadline is almost here and were still looking for a backup catcher and a 1B. We had one big deal to bring in a top notch 1B but they wanted ACE Gumpert and We are in talks with a few teams to get a catcher but nothing looks great.I had a tuff time losing P.Politi since he was one of the few original's from the start.Here are all the guys that have left and the one that are aboard.
Gone are Politi,Grief,Pavlo,Ransone,Frunderburk,Uzzle,Creekmur,Murphree,Heiss
In are C.Hallewell,SS Dennis,OF Tabara,OF Czewzsky,OF Dibut,P.File,Parris,Mcdiaz,Wiuf,and P.Adamson..
10 old and 10 new guys along with numerous picks in between.I want to Thank Graham for putting up with this Malarkey.
