#29 The Sun Never Shines in Seattle

Seattle Rain Men
The Rain Men have been sloshing through the mud during the last seven seasons, never really improving. The franchise looked like it was moving in the right direction during season six posting their first winning season, but soon fell back to earth last season posting their sixth losing season overall. You will probably see a couple more losing seasons before the team is able to deliver a winning season again.

The total percentage of wins for the Rain Men is .452 (513 victories and 621 losses). The most wins in a single season was 85 during season six. The most losses in a season being 94 during season five.

Eric9930 is entering his second season as the general manger of the franchise compiling a 71-91 record; but he has a total overall record of 315-333 with a winning percentage of .486 due to his management of the Louisville Grumbling Groundhogs for three seasons before leaving to take a short absence from the league. Eric9930 received a World Series ring during season three with the Louisville Grumbling Groundhogs; and the fans in Seattle are anxious to see if he can deliver a championship banner in their city.

#30 The Weak-Link of the Family

The Salem Gangstas

No one expected the team that made the playoffs during season one to fall as fast and as hard as the Gangstas did. Bad deals and bad bosses pushed the Gangstas to be one of the three teams with fewer than 500 victories, and to lose 100 games in a season three different times. Can the team build upon the success of last season or will they crash like before?

The total percentage of wins for the Gangstas is .440 (499 victories and 635 losses). The most wins in a single season were 93 during season one; the most losses were 106 during season six.

Goosh33 is entering his third season as the general manger of the franchise compiling a 143-181 record for a .441 winning percentage. Goosh33 was off to a really bad start in his first season, losing over 100 games; but he really got the fans excited about the future by posting an 87-75 record last season and challenging for a playoff spot. Big things are expected by the fans this season.
