News & Notes from the local Newspaper
THE F.U. HERALD:
(2/5/09) The DMB has moved from sunny Tampa Bay to the dark nights of Amityville. It's a new era with some young blood. In order to train these young bucks new manager Harmon Killebrew will look to bring some good ol' fashioned discipline to the club house. Killebrew was quoted saying with a evil grin, “These vets can't be trained, we need to start fresh. Breaking them in is the fun part” After a brief meeting between Owner Nick Pucci and Manager Harmon Killebrew, there were no secrets as to who was on the chopping block.
Out with the old and in with the new: In their first trade of the off season on 11/11/08 Amityville brought in some young talent at pitching and traded away 1st Baseman Adrian Gonzalez for future HOF'ER John Lester. Only 8 days later Amityville made their second trade with the Endzone Animals trading away their 2009 6th Round draft pick for Catcher Dioner Navarro. Navarro is a young stud who will provide a lot of extra base hits and a high AVG & OBP. To sweeten the roster even more, Amityville acquired future All-Star second baseman Kelly Johnson and Garrett Atkins. These future All-Stars were brought in to rake against lefties. The trend will not end there as the draft will be a tool for Amityville to pick many more future All-Stars.
The Fans: Amityville has a strong following of dedicated fans who call themselves The Anarchy. Loyal, rowdy vocal and tough best describes these arbiters. The voice of The Anarchy will be heard soon enough! and to think they have rabid fans in Philly...HA.
Final Notes: Some people believe respect is earned whereas the Ant Slayers believe respect is taken with blunt force. Some rivalries are on the rise and look forward to taking on the Mudcats although they sank ship this past season and have yet to prove themselves worthy. If you too want to finish as a consistent Wild Card loser, become a Mudcat. After the season ended The Endzone Animals Owner was taken away by EMS to stop his head from swelling for finishing over .500. In other news Frankie Ravioli was traded for a meatball. One question to Stump the “Deputy Commissioner” is Golden Falcons code for suck another year?
