Limping into Allstar Break

                                   With 5 starters out of the lineup Mafia are truly limping into the Allstar break. With a record of 41-41 the worst start to the 1st half of a season to date, they find themselves 5 games back of division and the wildcard. Being 5 games back doesn't seem so bad and with Mora and Campbell due back in 3 weeks along with SS Dan Smith ,New York is just trying to keep it close. Dan Smith hasn't had the chance to prove himself yet at the top level but scouts love his glove and think he can hit enough to stay in the lineup.

                                    Next up is the Champs for 2 games and Dallas Texans for 4 games all at Don Corleone Park. Nott leading the Division and Dallas in 2nd 4 games back.

Jorge "Consigliere" Mora

                         New York knows they can be better then 24-21 and going 11-11 so far in May but they are sitting in 2nd place 1.5 games back of the Champs. Very tough week ahead, NY will head to Seattle Sasquatch (28-16) best record in RCL. In game 1 Kent Rose 6-2 with 2.71 ERA vs José Serrano 3-4 with 4.07 ERA both the #1 starters for there teams. Then off to So Cal Republic (24-20), So Cal is in the playoff hunt for a wildcard with NY so this is a very important series.

                         New York Promotes new  Consigliere  and no one better then OSA #1 hitter in baseball Jorge "Consigliere" Mora he has accepted his new role and is honored. It took over 3 years to name a Consigliere but GM Anthony Zappulla says "this is a very important decision and is not just given out to just anyone, u earn this title and that's just what Jorge has done, we are glad he is on are side."

                         Mafia down to the 3rd SS so Tony Wright has been called up to help for what looks to be about a month to help back up SS. Wright is a utility guy with some power in his bat.
