A man walks into the office of the Slugs' manager...

Tanner Houck: "I want a raise!"
Manager: "Wait...havent I cut you yet?
Houck: "I repeat: I want a raise!"
Manager: "hmm, that's right,I would have cut you except the cap hit would have been too big..."
Houck (throws down a newspaper): "Look, I'm second in the Cy Young voting. I deserve more money!"
Manager: "How is that possible? Youre not even the second best pitcher on my team. And our pitching stinks! You have a 4.75 ERA with a 1.42 WHIP."
Houck: "Winning is all that matters baby! I have a .750 winning percentage--I'm like the new Pete Vuckovitch. He was 18-6 with 1.5 WHIP--some pitchers just know how to win."
Manager: "Some pitchers are just lucky! And anyway genius Vuckovitch had a 3.34 ERA and your ERA is 4.72--big difference."
Houck: "The writers must know something..."
Manager: "No they dont...they put Jim Rice in the Hall of Fame didnt they? Now get out before I do figure out a way to cut you!"

LOL

Ouch, lost a game in 17.

Scored 1 in the 9th to take a 2 run lead.
Scored 1 in the 12th
scored 1 in 16th
scored 1 in the 17th

Game it up every single time. The first three all happened with 2 outs too. Ugh.

To add injury to insult, we lost Knapp for 3 games in the extras.

Freeman, I notice that Evans is out for our series. As far as I can see, you don't have a backup 1b!

Wow. I dont have a back-up for a 4 at first base? I corrected it...well, sort of. I got a body that can stand at 1b...

Cheap guys are so bad in this set...

With Evans out and two of my cheapie starters going, I got my work cut out for me...

Yeah, having a 4 injury 1b backed up by a .50 guy is....less than optimal.

As for your low-end SPs, I think they pitched well against me last time so I'm not taking anything for granted!

Thats a bad mistake. And I am wondering why my teams aint doing that well. The quality control department has been lacking...

Yeah! Who hired those QC guys anyway???

We're getting tough questions from the press corp so we decided to hire a tough team spokesperson...

Reporter: "Some people are saying that the team had no back-up first baseman and had to sign a back-up. Can you expound on that?"
Jen Psaki: "Who's saying that?"
Reporter: "I have a source from another team. And there was the signing today."
Psaki: "I think weve been very clear that we will put out the best team we can. Today's signing was part of that..."
Reporter: "So no truth to the rumor that the team forgot to have a back-up at first base?
Psaki: "Anyone can play first base. We got plenty of first base gloves. I hope that clarifies any concerns you might have. Next question?"

Lost 2 out of three. I can live with that considering I had two triple A level starters and a 1b signed today from an independent league...

It's worth noting that the game you won had Evans back in the lineup and Ryu on the mound
