Brian B introduced Phillip Wellman as the new Otherton Fishbiscuits manager. Underwhelmed? We were too, but only until realizing who Wellman was.
Asked why Wellman was the choice, Brian responded, “Look at our lineup. Lenny Dykstra is batting 5th and the back end may combine for a .500 OPS. Sure, my staff is amazing but do you think the fans will come out for 81 games where we score 91 runs? Of course not, Wellman will bring the fans and he won’t be on a leash.”
Wellman, at first sheepish, suddenly jumped up, crawled in a prone position across the floor like a soldier, and pretended to bite and hurl a microphone at a report as if it were a hand grenade. On his way out he concluded by pretending to eject John Heymen with a fist pump and finally blowing a farewell kiss and bow to a clearly uncomfortable Brian.
This should be a fun season.
