bud_is_wiser: As the official express delivery and logistics provider of Major League Baseball DHL is going to honor some of the game's finest with awards.
atll_do_pig: The DHL Delivery Man of the Year?
bud_is_wiser: No, no. That's a different award.
atll_do_pig: The DHL Delivery Man of the Month?
bud_is_wiser: Uh, no. It's actually completely unrelated.
atll_do_pig: The DHL Delivery of the Game?
bud_is_wiser: Nope. It's brand new. It's called the Hometown Heroes program. A player from each franchise will be selected as embodying the spirit of their respective teams.
Tar-Baby: Great, another phony award so a large business can get it's name into the game. What happened to the good ol' days when playing ball was as simple as playing ball?
bud_is_wiser: Listen you guys I hate dealing with this. Does anyone care about this or can I leave?
atll_do_pig: Well, I have a question.
bud_is_wiser: I'm pretty sure there isn't a DHL Delivery Pitch of the At-Bat so I'm going to allow it.
atll_do_pig: The Yankees today are really all about looking good on the field, making obscene figures of money, and underperforming right?
bud_is_wiser: Yes. Definitely.
atll_do_pig: And I'd probably go under the "legendary eyesore" category right?
bud_is_wiser: Yep, yep.
atll_do_pig: So I'm not going to win this?
bud_is_wiser: Actually, I'm really glad you brought this up. It wasn't going to be easy breaking this to you, but we've found somebody else to give the award to.
