44.53 The End is Near

Post by shoeless.db » Wed Nov 04, 2020 1:33 pm

September 22, 2044 | Mad Popes Record: 72-88, eliminated, 0-6 last sim
Rolio Elder | Apprentice to the Exalted Mystic | Donkeagle Press


With only two games left in the regular season, the Mad Popes' disaster of a 2044 campaign is finally coming to a close, and we here at the Donkeagle Press couldn't be more excited to close shop on this overdone team news format at season's end.

"The guy who writes these asinine team news came up with a plan to utilize a different format each season," said top unpaid intern Wasim Jaffar Jr. "The 2044 format, like the Sacramento squad's season, was put forth with little effort or enthusiasm. I mean, really, if you're just going to go through the motions, you might as well gather up your paltry two participation points with a quick two paragraphs, a link, and smattering of indistinguishable statistics."

Where the man behind the curtain plans to take the team news for 2045 is anyone's guess, but past history points to something ridiculous that will turn even more Brewster readers away.

"How many other GMs even read this trash anymore?" Sacramento GM Shoeless said from the newly installed sauna at Camacho Temple. "I think he's got a following of four to five guys. It makes me shiver to think how tragic their lives are to be reading this crap. Seriously, I bet one of them is reading this shit right now, like right now. He just read that. And this. Holy god, what is wrong with you?"

This article is almost over, but we thought we should at least put something in of value.
Hmm, did you know Scott Lucas, a reliever on AA Bismarck won the reliever of the year award for AA? Pretty great right. He was a ninth round pick, which means @HoosierVic had nine chances to draft another good reliever but he missed Lucas.

"The End is Near," Exalted Mystic Ralph Dewaldo said. "Fuck this format and the donkeyeagle it rode in on."

Hmmphh. Unlike some flea-bitten Camacho wannabes, Chicago has standards for its relievers. A 5 potential for movement? The horror!

It's all good. Seeing Portland send Sacramento home for the winter with a loss is enough to cash in those 2 mins.
