| allard_back_youngun: I think you guys are going to like our ad campaign this year. In the past, slogans like "It's a Hit!" and "Catch the Thrill!" were great, but that was when we had George Brett and Bo Jackson and Danny Tartabull and Willie Wilson and not, like, 25 Craig Paquettes. | |
| allard_back_youngun: So! Here are this year's ads. We've taken most of the emphasis off "Let's win some ballgames out there" and shifted it more toward "You have a baseball team in your city still." | |
| ItDontMatter2DeJesus: It's an interesting advertising strategy, to say the least. Foregoing the advantages of embellishment or flashy ideas so that you can just say things which are factually true. I wonder if that works. | |
| GotayItOnTheMountain: aw hey baws that souns like a good idea lemme try my hats crookit but my face on straight |
|
| ItDontMatter2DeJesus: Good! My turn. The Royals just signed me to a five-year deal and called me the cornerstone of their future despite that fact that I have never played a full season in the major leagues. |
|
| Berrohaha: I won the Rookie of the Year award in 2003. The Rookie of the Year award is perfect for when you want to be compared to Jackie Robinson despite possessing the approximate skill level of Todd Hollandsworth. | |
| **MikeSweeney** We're winning 85 games this year. | |
| GotayItOnTheMountain: you lose grandps you aint tell the trouf |
|
| **MikeSweeney** I guarantee it. Check back here in October and you'll see I'm right. | |

|
| BuddyIcon: ohhh. Ohhh hey there, uh, Terrence. Been, uh, been a long time. | |
| BuddyIcon: /scratches back of neck It's um, the deal is, that lucky wish wasn't actually meant for your resurrection. I was using it, to, uh, get a few more wins for the team this year. |
|
| BitTerrence: oh. Well. That's great news, right? Is it cool if I get my position back? | |
| BuddyIcon: well, um. The, I just don't know. 'Cause I mean...well, I don't know. | |
