Their first task was to figure out which of the many leagues in the greater Los Angeles area they would be playing in during the 2007 season. Being the "Greatest show on earth" according to T.J. Simmers of the LA Times, they of course are being courted by the big three. VABL, LAMSBL and the PCBL. All of these leagues understand what a team like the Knights can do for their leagues fan base and the overall enjoyment of all teams who get the opportunity to play the Knights.
RUMORS
In November, rumors started to circulate about the possible firing of Coach Ryan Saul. Saul who has been the Knights head coach for 2 1/2 seasons has lead the Knights to 3 playoffs, but they have come up short of the title in each of those years. Everyone remembers B.S. (Before Saul) when the Knights went through Coaches like it was going out of style, first it was Jamie Case then Austin Hurwitz, Sean Walsh, David Stevenson and finally Saul by default after Stevenson handed over the reigns half way through the season. There have been Jamie Case sightings around the main offices in the past 2 months, which just enflamed the already HOT rumors.TRANSACTIONS
The Knights know that a Rolling Rock doesn't gather moss, so on the player personel front they must keep moving. Ebbing and flowing to the needs of the team.
So far here are the Latest Transactions:
Colyn Van Buren C - Free Agent, Resigned with Knights to a 1 year deal.
Paul Gamm RP, RF - Free Agent, Signed with San Diego Cornholes, 5 years.
Ryan Brooks 1B, 3B - Arbitration Eligable - Resigned With SC Knights 2 years.
Mike Vogel IF, OF - Free Agent - Agreed in principle to SC Knights (contract in progress)
In The Mill:
Contract Extension for Tony Sulser, he becomes a free agent after this season and the Knights would like to lock him down to a long term deal. 2/1 odds
Hugh Quattlebaum, the Amhearst standout and former Minor League player of the year, the Knights are in preliminary talks with his agent about making the move. 5/1 odds
Joe Koller, a local hero in "pick up" baseball, best known for the time he took Vida Blue deep in a pick up game in San Francisco. 10/1 odds
Scott "Frenchie" Boudreaux, very low probability of this happening, but we always like to mention his name somewhere in the article. Last time we heard, Frenchie had moved back to France and was starting his own vineyard. 100/1 odds
David Stevenson returning to the Lightning Bolt boys. 1000/1 odds.
So now you know the word on the street. Be sure to check back here weekly for articles pretaining to the Knights...and baseball.

Wow Max, you are an amazing writer of unspeakable talent. The Knights sure are lucky to have you.
I am happy to report that I have signed a 3 yr/15 million dollar deal to remain coach of the Knights. I can only comment on the Jaime Case sightings by saying she was in the front office recently meeting with the Judge but the only thing I heard was something about "Hurwitz on his back", and "does Szymanski still play on this team?"
Saul,
They don't let fags in the front office, so there's no way your story could be accurate. Does Gus Sands have you in his back pocket? Maybe that's why we haven't won the big games.
Max,
Make sure that 3 year deal has Pop Fisher's signature on Saul's contract. I think we found our mole.
You were right - the Brokeback joke has legs.
I vote we go with the sleevless jerseys this year. The chicks will dig it!
Also, the tight pants are the way to go. Let's give them something to talk about!!
Sir Cumstein of the Southern California Knights
Cumstein - there are only 2 things chicks dig... 1) the long ball... 2)Murkules.
Now we know why K-Witz and Finch were banned from the front office... can we impose a locker room ban on you 2 as well... the rest of us are tired of watching you 2 play grab ass and monkey dick with each other.
Me...rumors? who said what? I want to know... why me? You can't talk about me behind my back, that's my forte, I patented it, where's my residual check? I'm the greatest ever, I knew you wanted me back...
i don't know who "max mercy" is, but he is an unbelievably intelligent writer and is probably a very sexy looking human being. keep up the good work m2.
