The Firing of Mng. Smith

Associated Press


The Las Vegas Sharks were hitting rock bottom. After 6 seasons and a 1-12 record, Owner/GM LM117 has fired manager Doug "Aero" Smith from his position. The GM had this to say on the subject

LM117 also announced that he had comtiplated chaging the name of the team for the new season. Here were some of his ideas:

-ThunderSharks
-Sharpedos
-Piranas

But then he realized that they were all based off Sharks so he decided against it. HE expects to annouce the new coaching staff in the near future.

cool im making my own

I don't like Piranas. I don't know why but it just sounds like a wierd word. I think Sharpedo is a pokemon. I like Thunder Sharks though (it is better like Thunder Sharks than like ThunderSharks).

Sharpedo is a pokemon! Wondered if any body would get that. BBall wins bragging rights.

i did, man, didn't wanna tell you.
Anyways, I'm guessing Magikarp didn't make the cut?

No, it didn't sjax. Actually I'll have a picture as my logo for the first time this year! More updates coming up.

Sharks Announce New Staff

Associated Press

The Las Vegas Sharks annouced their new coaching staff today, filled with people that could of been HOFers. Here is the staff.
-Manager and 3d Base Coach: Ivan McLeary
-Fielding and 1st Base Coach: Scott Eagle
-Hitting and Stregth Coach: Scott Hamp
-Pitching Coach: Cory Linececum
-Bullpen: Aaron "Smoosh" Smith

McLeary and Eagle have been signed to 3 season contracts while everyone else has been signed to 2 season contracts.

Just wondering if anybody is following this?

I am.

Don't worry, I'm following.

And you spelled Lincecum wrong.

Pst... That was to make people think he was actually related to Tim! More to come on that later

Fair Warning, this gives a ton of background on all the coaches, all of which made it to the show at some point in their carrers. All had a tragic end to their carrers. This will be the basis of the "Behind the Scenes" that will happen later. VERY IMPORTANT POST!!!

Jimmy Marlin (Sharks Beat Writer, Las Vegas Tribune)

Today, Owner/GM of the Las Vegas Sharks LM117 unviled the new coching staff for 1921. You, probobly like me, have been wondering, "Who Are These Guys?" After doing a little reaserch myself, all had been in the majors at one point. All had short carrers. Here they are.

Sharks Set Goals for 2010

Jimmy Marlin (Sharks Beat Writer, Las Vegas Tribune)

Yesterday, Owner/GM LM117 set 5 goals to meet by the same time next year, which would be the 1934 swason in Simyard. Here are his goals
-Make the Park Playoffs
-Own a Permit
-Have Defeated Every PPworld Team At Least Once
-Have A Winning Record Lifetime for the Sharks
-Win a PPworld Simyard Tournment

When asked if the Club could make such steep goals happen, the GM said this


You heard it here folks! The coaching staff has some serious work to do! Season Goals next!

Ok, so far all I've done is Newspaper articles. While that is good, I planning some more stuff in the future, so instead of an article stating my goals, I will just come out and say it.

1. Double Digit Wins
2. Average 3 games played per day
3. 100 games played overal
4. Get a Claim Number

(Speical Thanks to M_a_L for the eye opener that inspired these goals)

-LM117

GM Las Vegas Sharks

Nevermind.

Anyway, I hope you do well. Sorry if you got ticked off, but I'm trying to make a point here as people always assume that to be good, you need a permit.
