Sep 21 2068: 2067 Cup Finalists! - by Jobywan on April 6th, 2025A day late and a dollar short, story of Makakilo's life. Yes, this article is for season 2067. The Eruption advanced all the way to the cup finals and fell short to Livermore and the Lousy Hawaii times ignored the achievement.
Well, better late than never! It was the second time Makakilo made it to the final round only to fall short to a monster offense. Keep plugging boys, the dream is just around the corner!
Jan 18 2065: Eruption Drops Back Down With a Bang - by Jobywan on June 18th, 2024
After 18-straight winning seasons and a steady climb from dead-last to Legends, Makakilo finally hit the wall.
"We were approaching mid-season and it was clear our core had past their prime. We tried to supplement with the market, but the club house was starting to look like a revolving door and the results just weren't there", said President rlawrence.
"We wanted to give our vets a chance to finish their careers with a contender, and see if we could get back to our developmental roots".
The losses piled up and some younger projects got much-needed innings ... but with mixed results.
When asked about projections for the next season, Lawrence responded, "Hey, rebuilding a complete team takes time. We still have some nice pieces we can put on the field, but there's definitely an element of uncertainty going into this next season. Our guys will give it their all, but staying up will be tough at this level."
An ominous response indeed to fans used to continued success.
Nov 01 2063: Legend - by Jobywan on March 27th, 2024
Eighteen seasons ago, Jobywan got off a plane in Hawaii and asked himself, "What have a I done?"
An LL6 club in the shadow of an active volcano with little support and little hope-- the faint smell of sulfur lingering in the air. And yet the build began, and so did the climb. He knew it would be hard to sell a dream to top Free Agents, so focused on the draft and built a home-grown core.
With Legends in sight this year, he pulled out all the stops and inserted half-a dozen prime veterans into his homebuilt squad, and it all came together.
Legends, here we come.
Oct 30 2061: Most Competitive League Ever? - by Jobywan on October 25th, 2023
After the dust settled, Season 2061, II.2 was definitely the most explosive division in recent BB history. On the very last series of regular season play, FIVE teams had a shot at promotion. World class club Texarkana was left holding the short straw and with an 87-win season, was forced to demote.
Brentwood finished strong in first and goes into the playoffs as the clear favorites. Makakilo Eruption's president Jobywan, after facing vicious and slanderous attacks on the public forums for his home-grown approach to team building, was vindicated yet again.
With a strong 2nd place finish and 89-win season, this squad would easily have been promoted to the Legends League in most other divisions.
"Let them squawk", stated Jobywan, "We've proven what we can do by caring for our own right here."
Nov 02 2060: Makakilo ERUPTS! - by Jobywan on August 9th, 2023
It took five seasons, but Makakilo put together a fantastic 98-win season this year, advancing their home-grown squad to LL2.
Rich Mueller was an inspiration in the playoffs, hitting .565 with an OPS of 1.44. The Sunrise showed a lot of heart, but it was over in 6 games. Can this surprise farm-league system continue to impress?
