2058.04 - Gerties take on the 25 man
Posted: Mon Feb 12, 2024 3:43 pm
First off, let me tell ya, this roster's got more twists and turns than a tumbleweed caught in a dust storm. We got ourselves a fine bunch of strapping lads ready to take on the diamond, but there's some names here that got me scratchin' my head like a flea-ridden dog. Take this Rule 5 draft business, for instance. I couldn't tell ya the first thing about it, but if it means them Omaha Cyclones are stealin' our players faster than a bandit in the night, well, I'll be hornswoggled!
Now, let's talk about our pitchers. We got Jon Brown, Josh Clark, Boris Milatovic, Tyler Murray, Lucas Wood, and a whole mess of others. It's like a cowboy showdown with these fellas, each one tryin' to outgun the other. But mark my words, there's a couple of gunslingers in this bunch that'll have them other teams quakin' in their boots.
But it ain't just the pitchers who got my knickers in a twist. Oh no, we got ourselves some fine lads holdin' down the fort on the field too. Ziad Abdul-Samad and Ramiro Castillo behind the plate, Carl Clements and Pedro Rocha at first base, and Joe Drayton, Jr. and John Maggard holdin' down the fort in the infield. And let me tell ya, there's some young blood in there that's got me feelin' like a spring chicken again!
But now, let's talk about the man of the hour, the shining star in the Madison Wolves' constellation: Manobu Shimizu. Lord have mercy, that man's got more talent in his pinky finger than most folks got in their whole body. And with that contract of his, well, it's like watchin' a king hold court on the field. Now, I ain't one to gossip, but if I were a few decades younger, I'd be whisperin' sweet nothings in that man's ear faster than a jackrabbit on a hot tin roof. Oh, the dreams of an old gal, I tell ya.
Now, before I mosey on outta here, I wanna talk about somethin' that's been rattlin' around in this ol' noggin of mine. I've been thinkin' 'bout startin' me up a little blog to follow the Wolves this season. Lord knows I ain't the most tech-savvy gal in town, but if there's one thing I know, it's how to cheer on my boys in blue. So keep your eyes peeled for ol' Gertie's musings on the Wolves' journey through the season. Who knows, maybe I'll figure out this inter-webs thing after all!
Well, that's all from me for now, folks. Keep your boots shined, your hats tipped, and your eyes on the prize, 'cause the Madison Wolves are comin' for that championship like a stampede on the prairie.
Yours in baseball and bewilderment,
Gertie
