RIO DE JANERIO (AP) - Capybaras management has decided that it's now or never. With an impressive hitting lineup, Rio has been beating their opponents into submission with their bats and driving opposing pitchers and catchers crazy on the basepaths.

However, pitching wins championships. In a move to solidify their shot at another Weaver title, the Capybaras acquired Nolan Ryan, Aaron Sele, and Allen Watson from Tehran as well as Andy Pettitte from Amity today. In exchange, Rio mortgaged their future by trading their top 3 picks (#16, #19, #30) as well a good chunk of their farm team in pitchers Nolan, Wall, and outfielder Williams.

"Although our young guys were filling the gaps admirably, we decided to go with experience. There is too much talent on this team. To see it go to waste this season, would've been a shame. We want to win, and win now!", explained the GM.

Nolan Ryan had the following to say, "I'm here to win. I'm also here to strike fear into opposing batters. I like to throw hard, and I like to throw inside. My aim may not be so good, but that gives you something else to think about, doesn't it!"

Pettite was more diplomatic, "We're in a great division. Our first step will be to catch Havana and Long Beach, two very good clubs. I am confident this team has all the tools to do just that - excellent hitting, great fielding, and pitching."

When asked if this was the end of the trades for this season, "We're taking it a series at a time. Havana and Long Beach have excellent management, capable of pulling off a big trade as well. Time will tell. We're prepared to do whatever it takes to come out on top."

Strap yourselves in sports fans, it looks like it's going to be a heck of a ride in the Roehm this year!
