Dear Team Off the Wall (Week 25):


I know. I know. You're all a little disoriented. You thought the season was over last Sunday and here you are forced to drag your sorry butts out of the dugout for another week of being butt kickees to the Third Outs Latino Express. Now, our General Manager has gone on a transaction binge and you don't recognize anyone in the clubhouse (or you were unceremoniously sent packing). Sorry about that.

We tried to keep him under control but when Yahoo sent him a warning that he was nearing his 60 move limit, it was like waving the proverbial red flag in front of the bull ... opening the tuna can within earshot of the cat ... showing a budget surplus to Congress: he just went nuts: eight transactions in 3 days; 4 within 10 minutes this morning!

Fausto? Gone. Josh? Gone. Carl? Joe? Justin? Gone. Gone. Gone. Yahoo cut him off at 60, but not before he flooded the mound with new starters. Three of them will go on Sunday alone.

Needless to say, he was summarily fired, but that does nothing for the damage he's done to team morale and the Off the Wall camaraderie you've developed over this l-o-n-g six month season. All we can do is apologize and say, "see you at the draft."

Adios, amigoes.

You must have been on a spending binge, picking up Contreras? Risky! The Third Outs felt he was not a team player and voted him out fairly early in the season. Though now he might want to seek revenge. Ack!

I called Ozzie. He said, "Jose is the Man and he's back."

Jose told me, "Soy el ahorro 25 de mis 110 echadas a golpear abajo de esas terceras salidas traidoras estropeo y voy a quemarme las aldeas de sus dueƱos."

Plus he is 4-0 with a 2.83 ERA since Aug. 27.
