rbedwell Saves the Wailing Onion from Timoxplosion

rbedwell, charming chap that he is, gets executive of the year and it's only the all-star break. In one fail swoop, he saved Timo Phillips from the trading block and exposed some of us for the HBD newbies that we are.

Had we actually read Timo's profile page, we would have known that Timo Phillips is in his arbitration eligible year, not his walk year. In the process, he saved San Juan from the undignified pain of trading their top hitter and shifting the competitive balance in a way that only ewad could do.

A tip of the Starbucks iced latte to you rbedwell.

Meet the new boss...

...not anything like the old boss. Thank God.

ewad is gone. Fired out of the proverbial WIS cannon like Hunter S. Thompson's remains. And, we have a new owner of the Pittsburgh franchise -- bentschnride.

Let's take a look at the resume of our new owner:

bentschride
Overall W-L: 1155-1437 (.446) in 16 seasons
Division Titles: 2

bent currently plays in two other worlds -- 23mattingly23 and Sandberg.

And, I already like him because he's a Yankees fan.

Ground Control to Major Tom

Word from control is that WIS will consider replacing the owner of the Pittsburgh franchise if commish mark3313 can find someone to step in.

Hey, I heard Kelvin Sampson has some free time...
