WANTED: Stud pitcher

News of the low ratings of the recent Cecil Cup series between River Cities and Seattle has reached the Los Angeles area, and the fans are adamant: The second biggest media market in the country must be represented in next year's Cecil Cup!

To facilitate that, the Greatest Team in SDMB League HistoryTM, South Bay Scorpions, is determined to excel in 2009. Owner Michael Weintraub has authorized GM Michael Weintraub to do whatever is necessary to overcome the River Cities menace.

"It's all about pitching," Weintraub, the GM stated. "When we have the top pitching staff in the league, we win. When we don't, we lose."

So, this reporter has learned, the Scorpions are looking to acquire a world-class starting pitcher this offseason, either via trade or free agency.

When asked who was available, Weintraub would only mention the untouchables: Ricky Peppers, Wendell Sorg, Casey Plunk, and Junior "Goodnight" Cuomo. Everyone in the South Bay organization, including former Outstanding Newcomer and perennial All Star, Sean Arant and solid young 2B Bill Turek, might watch from the sofa next season as South Bay reclaims the Cup.
