COZUMEL
(AP) - The Isle of Cozumel, along with Cancun and all of Yucatan
State, Mexico, have announced they are boycotting both nuclear
power and civil unrest. On the eve of the 2007 Weaver League
season the announcement was made to the cheering crowd.
"We
will not support our biggest rivals by using their electricity
or .... whatever," commented newly named Cozumel
Mayans Manager Ricardo Montalban. Hired earlier in the
week by owner Erik "CHiPs" Estrada, Montalban defiantly predicted
war in the Lockwood Division this year.
"My
predecessor broke the team record for wins the last two seasons
straight, but didn't even make the playoffs. Because he didn't
send a clear message by allowing the team and fans to use
Nuke powered AC units and looting. There will be only polluting
oil power this year, and if they don't like it we'll put them
all together in a circle of law enforcement officials and
use tear gas and rubber bullets! Uh, wait a minute...."
In
2006 the Mayans won 110 games, yet still finished 7 games
behind the Weaver Champion Los
Angeles Riots. Despite bringing in more and more talent,
at the expense of the team's farm system, they have been unable
to overtake the LA and NY
clubs. The team hints that two deals are in the works to change
that, yet bringing in such big names as Sosa, Lofton and Clemente
hasn't helped in the past. And as always, 120 wins means nothing
if the Riots or Nukes notch 121.
The
Lockwood Division still looks to be the most competitive in
the League again, with a three-way battle until the final
week of the season. Expect full-scale war from the Mayans
this season, just not Nuclear war!
