Casey Stengel Announces Lineups and Rotation

Downsouth
February 18, 2012

The Downsouth Brews released two major announcements today.  First, Casey Stengel, who piloted the early 1960s New York Mets to a 175-404 (.302 Wpct) record, will take over manager duties for the Downsouth Brews.  The Brews have struggled of late, compiling their own sub-.400 Wpct with a record of 176-310.

Owner Allen C, at the press interview, said, "Casey has been through this before and he knows how to handle these situations.  I have full confidence."  Stengel soon jumped in, "Been in this game one-hundred years, but I see new ways to lose 'em I never knew existed before."

Visibly uncomfortable, Allen stared at Stengel in amazement, before the manager quickly went on.  "If we're going to win the pennant, we've got to start thinking we're not as good as we think we are. The Mets, er, the Brews are gonna be amazing."

The Brews Lineup:


1: Suzuki          rf
2: Jeter           ss
3: Kaline          dh
4: Foxx            1b
5: Cano            2b
6: Dickey          c
7: Sheffield       lf
8: Allen           3b
9: Dawson          cf

Stengel decided upon a 4-man rotation consisting of Gaylord Perry, Kid Nichols, Juan Marichal, and Bert Blyleven.
