Frustration Mounts Within The Ranks

June 7, 2006

BURLINGTON, MA>Yet another rain out adds much frustration within the ranks of the Dog Pound Organization. 50% of all scheduled games have been cancelled so far this year for the Dog Pound. Gloomy weather has obviously coincided with morale of the organization. "There are obviously several morale issues out there. I've been confronted by several Dog Pound players with threats of grievances. These grievances have been directed toward league officials and senior Dog Pound management." said Player's Union representative Matt Gillis.

Examples of frustrations are shown above. Both represent two members of the Dog Pound at work when notified about the rain out. Luke Lemelin is pictured to the left while Jason Guidi is shown to the right.

An undisclosed Dog Pound insider had this to say to the Burlington Union today: "The rain outs, the losses, and the negative reactions by fans have caused much frustration within the ranks. One player stated that management needs to run the Dog Pound more like a business. Less fun, more actions. This anonymous player (pictured to the left), knows a lot about working hard and the work force. He has been employed for nearly 3 out of the last 5 years. WOW SEEE!! My assessment of the team is one of concern, yet I know as the clouds depart so will the frustrations".

"There is no reason to panic. We will be fine. My mama always told me that the weather is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you are going to get.", said general manager Dan Doherty during tonight's "State of the Dog Pound Address".

Keep your hopes high, and your heads dry. Catch the Pound this Friday back at Marvin Field against Team Havoc.
