Slug This...The Hopkins Era...2009 3.15 Diaz wins award

[felipe]

"GM! There you are, did you hear the good news?"Slugger owner Bbo Elliott finds GM Hopkins slumped over a coffee at his desk in his office at the ballpark at Locust Grove.

GM Hopkins blearily looks up,"Oh, hi Bob...no...I've been busy wheelin and dealin...been on the phones all night..."

"Jorge Diaz just won Rookie of the month!"

"What? That pitcher I picked up in the Rule V Draft?"

"You know its Rule Five, right?"

"Don't you start with me now, Bob...I don't care...I like the opportunity to use Roman numerals"

"Wait till I tell Al about this! Anyways, GM, I'm talking about...the catcher."

"Oh! Jorge Diaz...in Alabamba! That's great! I've been meaning to promote him to AAA, this is a good note to move him up on."

"No GM, Jorge Diaz!

"Ohhh....Jorge Diaz! Why didn't you say so in the first place? That is good news...but..."

"Whats wrong GM?"

"I was just wondering how Ernest Grady is taking it..."

"Ernest Grady?! Who gives a flying f...why is that guy even on the roster still? We're a .500 team now! He's not even a rookie! He's just shit! If he hasn't noticed the guy playing in front of him by now, this award ain't gonna change anything in that department."

'Yeah...but Grady's grannies...they've been sending me polite letters, inquiring as to when 'that sweet Ernest' is gonna get more playing time...they're up to thirty members now...this news ain't gonna make them happy."

"Can't you just foist them onto the Dan James fan club?"

"I dunno bob, for some reason Grady's grannies think Dan James is shit...and they find his fans, sacrilicious...its starting to become a real problem at the concession stands. I'm starting to fear someone's gonna get their eye poked out by a brolley."

"But isn't that the point? That they're both shit? Nobody can seriously like either of them...can they?"

"Dunno Bob, fans seem to lose sight of what's important...winning...you realise we had more fans last season, right? Now we got all these exciting young guys, and I get calls asking why Joe Ellis isn't playing more..."

"Seriously? His wife is still calling you?"

"Yeah, I thought I broke that off long ago...but you know women."

"No...Gm...I don't."

"True dat Bob...bitches be crazy."
