Dog Pound in Turmoil? Fans Speak out!!!

June 2, 2006

BURLINGTON, MA> The Dog Pound's loss yesterday has caused frustration, concern, and uncertainty within the Pound's large fan base. "These guys just suck. Their bats obviously aren't broken in. I told the team several times they needed to break in the bat by hitting it against railroad tracks. These young guys never listen." said Patrick Lemelin to his shadow earlier today.

Do they all have the sophomore jinx? Are stats disrupting their focus? Are they lacking chemistry? These questions have been raised again and again in local coffee shops, at the water cooler, and all over WEEI sports talk radio. "I knew this would happen. You lose the BillT, and the Pound dismantles. Just wait till next year and the Billt will rebuild this team." said Bill Tammaro to several fans on WEEI this morning during his short appearance on the network.

The Pound who drew quite a large crowd yesterday of over 7 will most likely lessen if the team continues to perform in such a manner. "I traveled from Litchsfield, NH to watch the game. I'm pissed. It's obvious to me that they just don't care. I pay top dollar for Pound tickets and they aren't even giving an effort. Go Ligers!!" said a very angry Melissa Paradise to a local reporter.

Can they rebound? Dog Pound players and staff think so. "What we need is more beer prior to games. It's science dude. When you only see one ball coming toward you at the plate, your limited. When you see three or four, you have more options." said John Breslin to the bartender at the VFW.

Catch the Pound this Wednesday against FIDO. First Inning-Dead Outright!!
