2044-00022: Talons Announce New, Annoying Series of Team News Articles Reviewing How Their Players Performed This Season

Post by jiminyhopkins » Fri Nov 06, 2020 12:41 pm

Phoenix, AZ--

In a shameless bid to get more Participation PointsTM, the Talons today announced a new series of articles that will recap how their players performed during the 2044 season, one which saw the Talons finish at 81-81 and barely miss a Wild Card bid. The articles will be posted according to an arbitrary and illogical schedule, or basically whenever the Talons feel like it.

The Team News articles, sure to be annoying in their multiplicity, will consist of a format that will start with the player's name and position. Then, a computer generated picture will be shared, illustrating how these players might appear if they were in fact real people. Following that, various sections of text will be posted, explaining 1) how the player was acquired, 2) what he did during the season, and 3) where the player will be expected to exist in 2045.

Talons Electronic Media And Forum Posting Department intern David Frum explained thusly: "We figured, hey, a lot of these other teams run up their article count with annoying posts, so why can't we? Yeah, we couldn't do a Season Preview because someone beat us to it, but then we thought, hey, why not do a Season Review? Pretty clever, eh?"

At this time, it is unclear if the articles will focus only on players with significant playing time, or if the series of posts will chronicle every single Talons player, no matter how insignificant his contribution; a decision which will no doubt increase the annoyment factor exponentially.

Go Talons!

I wholeheartedly endorse this sentiment, if not this project.

Life is a bit more beautiful when time is measured by the half inning rather than the half hour.

I'm curious: what about the infield reserves on your Short Season A team? Surely you aren't going to deprive the fan club of the inside skinny on them?
