Minas Morgul Owner Frustrated

By Gimli Deathbrow

MINAS MORGUL - The Slayers find themselves just 3 games out of first, but are playing a terrible .370 winning percentage. "I don't care how 'close' we are to winning the division. When you play ball this badly, it doesn't matter. This team seems to have bought into that nonsense and it's getting on my nerves," K.L. said.

The Slayer pitching isn't wonderful, but it's not really the problem. Being rated 14th in run prevention is a decent number, especially considering that Denema hasn't played well at all and Elensar has had plenty of problems, and is now trying to work them out as the team's closer.

The offense is still the biggest offender. Highly touted Elvywyn has 10 HR, which leads the team, but his .215 average is terrible. Minta Sandyman continues her inexplicable suckiness while leaving poor Tanta Chubb, one of the few young players actually performing, as the center of the lineup.

Speaking of the youth, it has been slow in growing and moving up to help the parent team. Emeraldmallet's team doctor has just informed the Slayers that Emeraldmallet will need 2 more weeks. Sylvania Arborna hasn't developed any further and the young hitters are still a long way away.

Things still look bleak in Minas Morgul, and it doesn't appear things will change until the players develop into their projections...

...and then perform up to them.
