Phoenix, AZ--
Let's be honest, the Talons Electronic Media and Forum Posting Department hasn't exactly been firing on all cylinders lately.
Only 16 Team Newses represents a low point of late. With such a deficit, the club is now looking at any way they can to enhance their Participation Point standing at the end of the season. As it turns out, when they Talons checked the Tracker this morning, they discovered that they were precious few points away from the next bonus tier for Forum Posting. Which was good news for the franchise.
Talons Electronic Media Director David Frum commented: "You don't get points for posting in Slack. You don't get points for Discord, or Skype, or Google Hangouts or whatever the cool kids are doing these days. You get points for good old fashioned Forum posts. And that's where we have a chance to really add value to the franchise, and prevent budget cuts to the Electronic Media and Forum Posting Department next season. So we here at the TEMFPD are really going all out to get that 100th post and get those valuable points," he said.
And what would they then use this bounty of points on? Talons Assistant GM Stu Coates elaborated. "Well we really like those reliever conversions. They seem to work out well. Maybe we can do it with someone like Cornell Sanchez or something. And then there are other things we can do, like upgrade Pankratz Isekenmeir's intelligence. I mean, he's gonna be the starting 3B next season, so we might as well make sure he isn't a total dumbass, right?"
"Oh yeah, that reminds me. Does anyone want to trade for our current 3B, Brendan Kerndl? He's averaged like 3.75 WARs the last two seasons, so he's gotta be worth something, we guess. Maybe someone wants him," the GM concluded.
"Come to think of it, I guess we better tell Kerndl the news. He's a pretty testy guy. He's probably gonna be pissed."
GO Talons!

Finishing at 99 posts would be the perfect irony, wouldn't it?
