Nitta Yuma Blue Buffalo fans are abuzz with excitement over tonight's player selection draft in the Live Wires League. Buffalo management, long criticized for frugality, have pulled out all the stops in preparing for the 2nd overall pick in this draft. Scouting reports are being scoured; character references are being double-checked.
Several of the top selection candidates are being flown in for interviews with management, which is creating most of the excitement. Fans lined the runway of Muddy Waters Memorial Airstrip this morning in hopes of catching a glimpse of a star.
Among those scheduled for appearances today are Pete Alexander, Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, Ernie Banks and Robin Yount. Ty Cobb was extended an invitation to attend, but declined, with expletives.
While Linguiphilos owns the first selection in the draft, Blue Buffalo faithful are hopeful that they'll get more than a door-prize with the next pick. We'll find out at 8:02 pm CDT tonight!
