This is the best gif. This gif is so good it made me tired of gifs.
Bummed that happened. Would have made for a good race for that last playoff spot. You had a rough week or two in mid September if I recall as well.
Distillers Fan Fiction: CULT HERO GEORGE WILMER VAUGHN and the case of the BURNT COOKIES OF DISCONTENT
George finally got the call to the WBL! He was so excited! But when he was on the bus to the airport something unexpected happened. He was traded in a completely legal trade to @Schauwn. Vaughn was informed he was traded and his emotions got the best of him:
The bus turned around. GM Rad Pear didn't want to start Vaughn's clock if he was now @Schauwn's player.
But then the league cried about the completely legal tried in a variety of ways! The trade was denounced and called illegal and in violation of no less than three rules. What's worse, it was apparently a fleece! Emotions got the best of the WBL owners:
When a ruling was finally given by OU, it was too late. The trade had fallen through. Hours had been wasted, and for nothing.
George was angry. Angry he had been traded and angry that people felt he wasn't worth some 16 year old Russian that probably won't pan out with such low contact rating. He would make sure they would rue the day!
The next day, Vaughn was re-promoted by Dublin. He anxiously awaited the bus to the airport. But it never came! His emotions got the best of him:
Commish had forgotten the exports! Six days later the bus finally showed up. With his lucky bat, Vaughn boarded the bus with a one way ticket to cult hero destiny.
What was Karshev's potential ratings at time of drafting?
I was considering going after Mansur but I figured it had to be a trap
Sounds like something a 12th place system GM would say.
Oh my bad. Mixed up the Manatees and the Manitimers.
This list really is worse than ever, but I least I jumped from last to 11th.
Fleece me like a $2 whore for one of you SP.

You don't have the pieces.

Local Kid Helps Creswell Rediscover Old Stroke
Wednesday, January 8th, 2059
Randy Creswell has always given back to his hometown community of Dublin, Ireland. That's why every offseason, he appears at a local baseball clinic to help young baseball players learn the game.
But this offseason, a student and fan became the teacher.
After Creswell showed 12-year-old Anthony Youngly the 'proper' batting stance and swing, Youngly responded by saying, "But that's not what you do!"
After the Dublin Distillers second baseman laughed him off, Youngly pulled out his phone and pulled up an old video of Creswell taking an at bat just a couple of years earlier during a game.
After watching a few more videos, the surprised Creswell sheepishly admitted that the kid was right.
"My approach has noticeably changed since I came up in the league a few years ago. My swing has become shorter and isn't nearly as natural," Creswell said.
When asked what he planned to do after spring started, the 2B was adamant.
"I want to get back to basics. It may have taken a local kid to pull me out of poor hitting mechanics but now I'll be working harder than ever to get back to where I once was. In the meantime, I'll be sending that kid a personal thank you and signing up to do a baseball clinic in Dublin, Ireland again next year," he said. "After all, who knows what I'll learn about myself."
