29ERS ANNOUNCE STUNNING NEW LINEUP


 29er Rickey fidgets with his iced coffee, cautiously scanning the cafe. It's 11 AM and the Mission is humming. Wearing a five-day shadow, the bedraggled manager asks no one in particular, "Is this one of those silent cafes or one of those goddamn startup incubator cafes? Goddamnit, bunch of idiots. I don't know if I should talk out loud or if I'm supposed to whisper. Bunch of clowns."

The mood is somber. The San Francisco 29ers have recently suffered a late-season loss to the Oakland Beers, prompting an unprecedented sequence of drastic roster shifts.

"You sign up for this shit and it's all smiles and pats-on-the-back," the skipper explains. "You think I wanted to send down 29er Mike? You think that was fun for me to do? That was not an easy decision. But it was a baseball decision. Listen, we are going to be facing some real live pitching in the next month; Jordan Beers with his slurve...E.J. Brians with his heater...you honestly think 29er Mike can hit those guys? Give me a break. I had to send him packing. He's a good kid...he'll land on his feet."

The 29ers' acquisition of Dealers Sam Bull stunned the PCHL last week. In a late and desperate playoff push, the perennial PCHL powerhouse handed over five highly-touted prospects and sizable cash considerations to the lowly Dealers for the rental cleanup hitter.

When reached for comment, Sam Bull responded via Twitter:

In the trade, the Dealers also moved three position players to the 29ers from their AA affiliate, Orinda Girls' Night Out, of the East Bay Under-30 Gender Queer Wood-Bat League. The players include Short Stop Sam Bull, Catcher Sam Bull, and Right Fielder Sam Bull.

UPDATE 10:26 AM PT: 29er Rickey has resigned from Managerial Duties from the San Francisco 29ers. His representative provided a written statement:

I want to thank everything the 29er Organization has done for me and my family. I want to thank Rock Bar and Ray and Rolph and everyone else who has aided me on this incredible journey. It is one for which I am most grateful.

When I come home each night, I turn off my electric skateboard and set it in the threshold, alongside my helmet and wrist guards. I then walk to the bathroom, splash cold water on my face, and stare into the mirror. Often times - in those quiet, fleeting seconds - the great triumphs of the 29ers' storied franchise flash before my eyes. But last night was different. In a moment of clarity I realized that I am not the right person to manage this esteemed organization at this point in time. And it is for that reason that I hereby announce my formal resignation. And - in doing so - I'd like to introduce to you my good friend - and the new manager of the San Francisco 29ers - 29er Sam Bull.
