Ralph Houk Announces Brews Lineups and Rotations

It's no secret that Allen C's Downsouth Brews have struggled since their franchise inception 5 years ago.  The solution?  According to Allen it's all in the manager and the owner has brought in Ralph Houk – who won over 1600 games in his MLB career – to pilot the Brews in ATB XV.

The quick tempered Houk was already on edge when he spoke to the press.  After revealing the rotation (see below) Houk was bombarded with questions about his ace Randy Johnson.  Johnson has historically been the best lefty in the game and a top-5 pitcher overall, but Allen C gambled on draft day, picking a completely new year.  Houk wouldn't be pinned down, refusing to answer whether or not he though Allen  should change years.  The press conferenced ended abruptly with Houk walking away, insulting a WFAN reporter with the following, "I just thought you might like to know that I passed a kennel on the way to the game and your mother is all right."
