Ahem. We gather here today to give youse a good send-off, rookies.
We gather it is hard enough to be a rookie among veterans and don't need no more advice. But I will.
Well, I am sure I speak for the Zone, being one of the few not under the supervision of the courts or a jealous woman or on the run via long-haul conveyances.
So, I, Gimmetheball! offer some words of advice.
For those of youse who have signed, welcome.
For those of youse who have not signed. . . .
Who do you think you are?
You are all from a pitch-poor 2009 class of draftees. Nobody expects much from you. You are barely above scrubs, so sign. Don't negotiate because you have no leverege. Call the front office right now and sign. If you are good, you will get a gud contract when you show your skills beginning this week. If not then vamanos adios borscht! as we say in Farmers Branch.
You rookies, class of 2009 aint nothing special.
I've seen better classes with the name of Pittman among them. Hail, I remember 2001 when the names Carter, Blade, Steele, Dixon, Lehr, Stewart, Weatherington, Dorsey and Nix were called. Hail, I was happier with this class than ah was with you last spring.
But let bygones be bygones. Still, we have sacrificed our future 3 years down the road for . . . what? A motley crew of mid-level skill players. Specials teams, they say.
So, rookies, you are special only to your mamas, so you better step it up and quick cause few know your names and won't remember if you don't put out the 100 percent effort under this HC, soft as he is.
So learn the system and focus on them drills.
The economy is really bad. Believe me, you'll need this job.
