TheoElDio: No need to panic. No need to panic at all. You can do this. |
|
TheoElDio: All you need to do is acquire two starting pitchers in a market so thin on pitching that Roger Clemens' dad is thinking about throwing his name in the hat. |
|
TheoElDio: You've already got three of the best pitchers in baseball, it's not like you're looking for another ace. You just need some guys who are capable of limping into the playoffs and going back to their day jobs come October. |
|
TheoElDio: The last thing you want to do is sell the farm, Theo, so you've got to find an alternative. An underpriced position player would make for some interesting trade bait. And well look what we have here! There's a cheap All-Star on the trading block. What luck! I better act quick before everyone else finds out about this. |

TheoElDio: Mike! Welcome! |
|
redman_tobacco: it's mark |
|
TheoElDio: It's great to finally meet you, slugger. Please, sit down. |
|
redman_tobacco: thanks |
|
TheoElDio: I don't know why I even brought you here. Your numbers speak for you. |
|
redman_tobacco: they do? |
|
TheoElDio: Absolutely! 53 runs, 12 homeruns, a .277 average. I mean you're no hall of famer, but hell kid a lot of teams would love to have you aboard. |
|
redman_tobacco: wow thanks. that's probably the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me. |
|
TheoElDio: Gee, for an All-Star you sure don't have very much self-confidence. |
|
redman_tobacco: i didn't even get to play at the all-star game. ozzie guillen thought we were in a playoff game or something. |
|
TheoElDio: Well you did have a pretty deep lineup. Who were you going to replace? Arod? Vernon Wells? Robinson Cano? |
|
redman_tobacco: uh i guess kenny rogers |
|
TheoElDio: Oh yeah, I forgot about pinch hitting for pitchers in National League parks. Say, I'm sorry to be rude, but where are most comfortable in the batting order? |
|
redman_tobacco: i'm not comfortable anywhere in the batting order. i'm a pitcher. |
|
TheoElDio: Get out. |
|
redman_tobacco: but i just |
|
TheoElDio: GET OUT NOW |
