BeaneBall: Alright, Barry, now you're probably well aware by now that we're not resigning you.

Z_Man: Yes my internet computer gets the ESPN.
BeaneBall: But I'm a reasonable guy, you know? I mean hey I'm pretty much like the cool dad around these parts. Except instead of letting my kids drink and smoke pot I let them do steroids and beat up their wives.
Z_Man: I only wish I did either.
BeaneBall: So I'm going to help you talk to some of the GMs and get a feel for which team is right for you. I figure it's the least I could do for you.
Z_Man: Wow, really?
BeaneBall: Or at least make it seem like that. I'm actually really good at persuading people to seeing things my way. Don't you agree?
Z_Man: Oh, yeah. I guess you're right.
BeaneBall: Ok, so here are all the contending GMs.

omar_goodness: Hey Billy. Ready to go, Barry?
Z_Man: Not so fast, Mr. Minaya, I have a few questions about the way this team is run. What's the team chemistry like?
omar_goodness: I'm against it.
Z_Man: What?
omar_goodness: Right now it's a melting pot. Actually, more like if you bought 40 jigsaw puzzles and tried to make one super puzzle.
Z_Man: What about leadership? Do you have a captain at least?
omar_goodness: Uh, sure, I guess. Pedro. Or that little white kid who showed up last year he's kind of cool.
Z_Man: Jeez, this place sounds awful. I don't think I'd like it there very much.
BeaneBall: Or would you?
Z_Man: True, I never really thought of it like that.
BeaneBall: Up top!
omar_goodness: /$100 bill-laced high five
