Actually this dude is supposed to be older than me.

Yeah, he's supposed to be older than me too. I highly doubt it, to be honest.

Well, technically, we're all still kids. Until we reach 18 (or 21).

And ye Mac, u rite

Yeah. The way he posts makes him seem like RD61's younger brother.

So what are we going with? It doesn't matter if you don't like soda, which one sounds better?

Sun Drop Stadium or Coca-Cola Park?

Coca-Cola is my vote

Coca-Cola. Definitely. The mascot for the stadium would be Santa 'cause he likes Coke. Also, the Iron Pigs' stadium is sponsored by Coke.

I say make a poll

There is a winning idea, Skittles.

I don't know how to make a poll.

If you edit the first post, you should see an option to create a poll

Then again, Coca-Cola Park could have a polar bear as the mascot. I mean, come on, didn't you guys watch the polar bear commercials during the Super Bowl?

I think the mascot would be the Devil Rays mascot, not the Polar Bear.

Aw... Oh well, best of luck! I oughta get this game...

Alexander: So what now? We just blew a lot of our salary on Heido and we don't even know how he will pan out!

Martinez: Well now, we got to find out who we're up against.

Jason: From what I'm seeing, we're up against the two headed dragons called the Yankees and the Red Sox. The Yankees were in the World Series in '03 and the Sox won it in '04. They have a lot of talent. I don't see any way of getting around these guys without losing the season series and hoping to beat out the Blue Jays and the Orioles.

Alexander: I want to do anything possible to knock those two out of contention. What would you say is our number one weak spot this year?

Rudy Fox: That my friends... would be your pitching.

Alexander; Um. Who are you?

Rudy Fox: Rudy Fox is the name. I'm the head of the scouting department for this team. My son Alvin Fox is the head for the Triple A.

Alexander: Nice to meet you Mr. Fox. My name is Alexander and this is Martinez, Jason, and Jerry.

Martinez, Jason, and Jerry: Pleasure to make your acquaintance.

Alexander: I would agree we should go out there and get some pitching. We got that great hitting trio in the outfield that can steal bases and manufacture runs as the 1, 2, and 3 hitters. So where should we get pitching from?

Rudy Fox: In my beliefs, I think that teams are most likely to trade with each other when one team has what another one wants. In that case, you should trade a hitter for a pitcher.

Alexander: Who did you have in mind to give away?

Rudy Fox: Aubrey Huff.

Alexander: Huff?!?! He's one of our stars.

Rudy Fox: Which is exactly why we should trade him away. We have the trio in the outfield. We can bring up some minor leaguers. FREE AGENTS!

Alexander: Well what teams did you think we should target.

Rudy Fox: Bad teams with good pitchers. The teams with the worst records in their divisions last year were the Blue Jays, the Royals, the Mariners, the Expos who are now the Nationals, the Brewers, and the Diamondbacks. Out of all those teams, I think we should contact Toronto. They have a great pitcher in Halladay. If were lucky we could snag him.

Martinez: Sounds risky. I'm sure they would go for Huff but who would else would they want?

Jason: Maybe Julio Lugo or Jorge Cantu. They're promising players that could add some depth to their chart.

Rudy Fox: So write this down:
Huff & Lugo or Cantu for Halladay
I think we should go after another pitcher too. I say we head on over to Kansas City. Who do they have? Grenkie. Great pitcher. He'd be a great addition to the rotation.

Alexander: But who would we give away?

Jason: I have an idea, but you might not like it. Balldelli and a free agent.

All: WHAT?

Alexander: Jason, Baldelli is part of our Outfielder Trio! We can't part with him!

Jason: Well what is your suggestion?

Alexander: Well...

Rudy Fox: Well it is actually a good idea. Maybe instead of giving away Baldelli we could get a good free agent cheap and trade him. If matters are that bad, we'll do that. Write it down:

Free Agent for Grenkie

So now we have a plan. If all pans out, we'll have a great rotation and some great hitters.
