World Series POSTPONED!
written by Commissioner Gallaway
Delays and disappointment have plagued the 2008 Spring Season from the start. Being forced out of our home for 5 seasons, never ending rain, and then astronauts finding arsenic, all of which fails to compare to 43% of the games being forfeited.
The post-season has been no different. Two of the four teams had to forfeit on Saturday’s Division Championships setting up a phoned it World Series.
Team managers for the Mega Maids and Canvassers spoke over the weekend and consulted with the Commissioner’s Office and decided to postpone the World Series games scheduled for today.
The last time a World Series was postponed was during the 1989 San Francisco earthquake.
