Bull comish
Since you were out playing all day, didn't have time to let you know I made changes!
I've got a hunch this is going to be a big game. In fact, it's starting to look like a one game schedule 
so this might be for all the marbles.
I'm losing confidence in Mr. Winkle's ability to be the commissioner of this league. Somehow, I think he planned on a one game (if that) existence!

How many shots did he give you?
Orlando, please try to keep me under 220 pitches. My dad is a little grumpy.

Ak,
you go to the commish without my permission, you are cut

Dad04, I'm proud of you, way to work your way out of a jam. But tell me, we you concerned they hadn't had enough batting practice?
Coach May, justbb....let's have a little more communication out there. How could Glove have gotten to third carrying Cameron like that?
And out 1-2-3 O's....could it be that BlueDog, our hitting coach, has some theoretical problems? Come on now, rotate your linears!
laf, I bow to your experience....me, I just tell my son to rub some dirt on it and walk it off....I think he may have tried that with his rupture, too....

Dad04,
I'm really sorry about calling for the FB down the middle to the first batter, Glove Man, for a triple. I had no idea your idea of a FB would be 52 mph. But I thought you recovered nicely by shaking off every pitch I called after that.
Can we get some RUN SUPPORT!?! (Oh phooey, I suppose I'll be up next inning.)

Is it time to rake the infield yet?
Umpire need a towel?
Ice for the post-game party?
How am I supposed to pay these armadillos? Grub steak?
Don't blame me if the mound seems low!!!!

You pitch'em I hit'em! 
They call me "wheels"!
What the scorebook doesn't show is that the LF and CF collided (they are OK) and I only made it to third after the trainers checked them both out.

Orlando,
You have some free agents waiting in the wings
Gloveman,
Keep it up you might get a nice bonus!
RHP,
Great job at keeping it low and inside, very effective pitching, got Chill on the change up!

Gloveman,
This is a LOT more fun than sitting along I-45 for about 16 hours or even staying is some far-off motel room!

I'll get back to you, TPM, I'm on the phone now with Steinbrener to see if he can buy me some talent (I hear he specialized in Old Timers).
OPP, I'll bring the grubsteak (or Armadillo Chow) if you can get those puppies to lay down in the basepaths when the OC is up. Please send Dad04 Zach's phone number so he can teach him Patience Without Run Support.
Bull, ice that dice-rollin' wrist, we need you ready for Monday. Do we have a gametime?

Hey,
Chat Room to discuss game plans(OK, I could not spell "stragedy(sp)")!
Hurry! Be the first ones there and you get to talk bad about the "bull"-missioner(behind his back of course).
I really want to ask someone how to teach my armadillos to "mow" the patterns in the infield and outfield... and what pattern the players/coaches prefer.

Ok thats cool I guess. Make it someone more deserving.
Orlando - I'm worried about our 2nd baseman's arm -tried to throw GloveMan out at home - it's not looking pretty. I guess he forgot the relay play? Got to spring for some knee braces for the catcher's knees too! Big drop in pop time from the start of game to completion! 
AK - you should talk to Orlando. Maybe she could use some youth on her team? You'd have to stay out of the team cooler though. Give her a call - if not, maybe you can be my assistant. I'm down in my back from carrying all that ice!

My "speed" caused me to overrun the ball in left-center...thus the triple. Have to get used to these new "wheels."
Sorry 'bout that...will try to pull the reigns in a little quicker next time coach!

LAF, I'l be ur helper that sounds like fun. I will lug all of your gear around.
This old guy needs a smoke break. Hey, in the old days we were allowed to smoke in the runway.
While you're all playing for peanuts (and whatever Moose eat), I have just inked an exclusive television contract to air this game with the Dear Leader, Kim Jong Il himself. Here is a photo from last night's Jumbotron action at Kim Jong Il Stadium just at the intersection of Kim Jong Il Street and Kim Jong Il Boulevard.
In exchange for their unflagging support, they want the HSBBW to build them a light-water nuclear reactor. They will be contacting the Commissioner shortly.....

Get ready, for next week.

Hey that was cold. I was trying to figure out why you kicked me off for that. Aren't we supposed to talk. Bullwinkle did what he set out do, make people happy. Read this whole thread and look at it. Good one Bully.

Tom,
There is NO crying allowed!
Need youth? Dang skippy....this crowd hasn't seen youth since the Nixon administration! Welcome aboard, AK!
Orlando - that is painfully true!
Wait a minute, I think AK got it all messed up.
It's his choice!

Orlando, I'm sorry but I like Orange better than Old. 
No AK, we just finished partying there!
Ok , AK is back on the WINNING team!
MEN!

Well LAF, I am a masher so I got the muscles to carry all your equipment, all of mine and even you how bout that.
AK - you got a future kid! I'm a sucker for charm - I forgive you! Go play with your orange friends.
Whew - FINALLY, I can provide written proof that URKMB IS actually out in left field -- something friends and family have alleged for years!!!! I take as my role model, our local LF representative, and respectfully ask TPM for a lounge chair in the locker room and my own personal trainer. Please advise as to when this can be arranged.

After you get the HR, ask your agent to speak with management
AK, did you sign a contract yet? If not, I'll talk with Orlando and see if we can top whatever TPM has offered you. Better yet, you should have your agent contact Orlando. I think we need a "masher" in our lineup!!!! 
hiwassee, redbird, et al, I said "masher", not "flasher"!

AK, You can take my spot. I am going to sit down the line with Bighit and share a cigar. Age has its priorities.
bbscout, I never gave up a spot. Give it to someone else who wants it. Like Dibble
MNmom-- I don't know, kinda risky
Gotta get permission from the GM to talk to ppl. Look what happened to me before.

Okay...I've read all 6 pages and I still have not seen the two most important positions filled yet
Team Mom
Designated Driver
I nominate Prepster for both positions

Orlando, et al. teammates - The pitcher has good stuff. I took the count full but the 3-2 change got me. This pitcher will throw off speed in any count. BE READY! Besides, I'm a long ball hitter and so, SKIP WHY YOU GOT ME HITTING LEADOFF! (Note #25 and another Cardinals #25 AND YES, we are carring around extra bottles of urine just in case we need a swap. BTW, our builds are very similar! LOL!)
Roster change.
#5 position and 3rd base now goes to AKbaseball.
BBScout will strictly be used as scouting director (due to first inning win, management came up with more $$).
AK,
You need to get the job done!
Soxnole doesn't appear to have arrived at camp, along with Bighit. I am assuming Sox is having a tough time dealing with his WS (which I am having now with the Tigers football team
) Big will be contacted by me personally.
Any free unrestricted agents please let me know if you are intrested.
Prepster makes an excellent hall monitor, so I am assuming he would be awesome as team mom
Orlando,
There seems to be lots of whaaaaaaing from some of your players. I think you need to have a serious dugout discussion with them over the weekend.
I suggest some team building skills. Or if next inning a loss, make 'em run poles!

TPM, you're a hard woman....my team all has lounge chairs....in the field. Lafmom gave them each prescriptions for them as an injury-preventative. Perhaps yours should speak to their union representative.
CoachB25, I was trying the old amateur trick of leading off with power to establish the team --- obviously that's where my my plan fell to the ground. At least you played lead-off well and took him deep into the count. I do hope your Pujols-like build doesn't include that apparent "angora sweater" he wears under his uni that showed in the celebration pics....that was strangely disturbing) (As is their performance lately......)
OK, Oldies But Goodies, two practices this weekend, maintain a good training table...and I'll be sending a lovely new pair of dice to Bull as a bribe......
