'WOLVES GM WARE BARKS AT BLUE SOX FOR BEANING OF HIS SUPERSTAR RYLES

SIMBL Commish Commends San Diego GM On 'Oscar-Worthy Concern' For Birmingham's Ramirez Injury

San Diego superstar Daryl Ryles (above) breaks his bat against Birmingham's Kelvin Miller.  A pitch later, Millers plucked Ryles with a fastball sending the Warewolves' eight-time MVP to the DL for two weeks.  'Wolves homer GM Paul Ware of course was quick to blast Miller and is campaigning for a league suspension of the Blue Sox reliever.

In a matchup of pitchers facing their former teams, Birmingham SP Claude McNeely faced off against San Diego rookie Bruce Tucker and although the Warewolves crushed the Blue Sox 14-4, McNeely spoke to SIMBL reporters saying his heart just wasn't in it after seeing the Sox's Pedro Ramirez tear his elbow ligament the game before.

Apparently, Birmingham middle reliever Kelvin Miller decided the best thing to do was to headhunt "The One", the 'Wolves' eight-time MVP Daryl Ryles, to get some satisfaction for his Blue Sox teammates.  Ryles is out for two weeks following the beanball.

"Well, I for one say he (Miller) should get suspended for as long as Ryles is out!" yelled 'Wolves homer GM Paul Ware.

"I will be talking to the Commish about Miller and if I have anything to say about it he will be suspended.  There is no place for such stupidity in our league and game," explained Ware. 

"Certainly our hearts go out to Ramirez and his family.  He is a great pitcher and had a super season, a Hulrer Of The Year-type season in my opinion and (Blue Sox GM) Jason (DeMarco) is a great owner who has balls and class.  But, Miller's move was straight out of the UL, balless.  We just don't play that way in the SL," barked Ware, pretending to show sadness for his SL rival's big loss for the rest of the season of one of the best aces in the SIMBL.
 
Ryles, as usual, had no comment but team doctors said the bruise to his wrist will likely keep him out of the lineup for about 6 days.  Backup infielder Larry Galusha is likely to be inserted in the lineup to play 3B while Ryles recuperates. 

Galusha has been on fire as of late and what the Warewolves give up in offense wil be made up with Galusha's super range and arm.

SIMBL Commisioner Christian DeMarco, who has clashed infamously with Ryles throughout the last decade, had no comment but snickered, "Paul could've won an Oscar today with the remorse he displayed for Jason and his Blue Sox's loss of Pedro for the year."

SIMBL TIDBITS:  Bend's James Mahaffey is nine home runs away from joining San Diego's Daryl Ryles, Jacksonville's Glenn Knapp and the retired Eddie Meas in the elusive 300 HR/1000 RBI/1000 BB/1000 Runs Scored Club.  Boston's Dominick Lund, Calgary's Taitarou Haranobu and Hartford's Kenny Blumberg are also closing in on 300 career taters.  San Diego's Buster Tate is next in line to reach 1000 career RBI, with 27 more runs batted in to go to reach the milestone that only ten other players have achieved thus far in SIMBL history.
