A synopsis of each team's season, done Twitter-style (135 characters or less)
National League
Atlanta: No guts, no glory- we get Black, we get MacDougal, we get Romero, we win the title!
Trenton: Patchwork offense, average pitching somehow equals an above .500 record.
Norfolk: Great Gordon season wasted on a 70 win team. Boy, did we miss Broadhurst.
Washington: Just another season closer to the Leonard/Rader era. Biddle and Javier can join them.
Fargo: Simple math: Bad defense + blown saves = wasted Javy starts = early playoff exit.
Chicago: Another 98 win season leads to another early playoff exit.
Toronto: Gave the fans early hope. Won't deviate from the rebuilding plan.
Philadelphia: Bernie and the Phans get a top-3 draft pick.
Houston: NLCS appearance cements our status as one of the best teams in the league.
San Juan: We're the Fouts-era Chargers- score a ton, give up a ton.
New Orleans: There's a hex on everyone on this team not named Matos.
Austin: Work in progress. Better than last season.
Salem: We beat Cheyenne out again. Too bad our march through Atlanta made Sherman roll over in his grave.
Cheyenne: Three playoff apperances, 0 series wins.
Salt Lake City: So close to the playoffs. Top offense in the league. Maybe another starter?
Vancouver: Safe to say the season 4 NL championship was a fluke.
American League
Louisville: Another AL East banner, another heartbreaking playoff loss.
Scranton: Too many good AL teams this season to get in the playoffs. Still a solid season in PA.
New York: The whole Martin thing was weird. Was Omar Minaya GM this season?
Boston: Gonna need more than Cashman on the staff. Fenway's no place for mediocre pitchers.
Milwaukee: If not for the Season 4 title, we'd be the Buffalo Bills.
St. Louis: Pitching staff kept us in almost every night. That's how you win 95. Oh, and have Carrasco close.
Buffalo: We have some talent, but not enough. Need pitching.
Syracuse: Bolivar and Miller go 7-44 combined. McMahon leads team with 7 saves. Need I say more?
Monterrey: Always in the thick of it, but we're hearing footsteps.
Jackson: 91 wins establishes us as a force for seasons to come. Wish that came with a playoff spot.
Oklahoma City: Name change didn't much. More watchable this season, though.
Charlotte: Oh, how the mighty have fallen. The Black/Winn era is over.
Helena: Loving the new ballpark. Hating the new divisional rivalry.
Seattle: Lost the battle but won the war with Helena. What a roller-coaster ride! Can we get back on line?
Anaheim: Quietly won the most games in our history since our lone division title.
Boise: Cracked 70 wins for the first time. Future looks fairly good in Idaho.
