July Madness Coverage for XBL

[ESPN INTRO MUSIC]
"The XBL suffered a devastation loss on July 6th. Aaron Heilman tried his best, striking out 15 batters but it was not enough for XBL to win. NBL's pitching shut out the XBL Allstars on 5 hits and XBL let 3 of the 5 batters Heilman left on base, to cross the plate. After the game, Heilman had a little to say:

'I could have pitched better but if i did only allow 1 run or 0 runs, we still would not win. I need run support and these are supposed to be the best in my league. I did not think it would be this tough to score runs. I will continue to try my best in this tournament. If nothing else, i wish to hold the record for the league for strikeouts'

The XBL Allstars face CDML Allstars tonight and things will be the same. Tonight CDML will be throwing out Salvaggio to pitch against Adam Wainwright. What? What? Wait a minute....scratch that. My sources tell me that Wainwright will not be starting tonight. The starting pitcher will be announced later in the show, we are not sure yet. Wait, yes, it has been confirmed that closer P.J. Bevis will be on the rubber against CDML. Wow, this is a surprise...we'll have more on this when we get back so stay tuned...."

[Commercial Break]

"We're back and YES, Adam Wainwright will NOT start tonight for XBL. Instead, the current closer P.J. BEVIS will start. Fransisco Rodriguez will replace Bevis's closer role. This is certainly unexpected. Now WHY would XBL start P.J. Bevis when Wainwright who I think is much better, is well rested and can pitch? We have some phone calls that i want to put on the air.

JACK FROM MINNESOTA....

JACK: I think Bevis starting is CRAZY! This guy is NOT BETTER THAN WAINWRIGHT! DON'T START BEVIS! DON'T START BEVIS! #@%%#$%# DONT $#%#$%^#^& START HIM @#%@

Well im quite sorry, some fans are awfully rude....Michelle from Georgia, you are on the air.

MICHELLE: I think the manager started Bevis because if yeatman is injured and the manager wants to get atleast 4 starting pitchers that are fully healthy. Is Yeatman still able to play?

....possibly, he is listed as day to day but if XBL plays him, they should be careful since he will not be pitching at his full capacity....

MICHELLE: I thought so....if Bevis can prove that he cna pitch here, XBL will have a better chance to win and have more talented pitchers starting. Heilman can start next game possibly on 3 day rest....

...Thank you michelle, you made some good points.....Naveed from Alabama..

NAVEED: HALLO. I dink tat Bevis iz a goot choice fur tonight. Rodriguez can close dee game goot. XBL will win....

...thank you Neveed.....indeed, Rodriguez can close the game. I guess the manager thinks this is the best descision for the team. It seems like he was not extremely certain when announcing his decision. He has just stated that Bevis has a 90% chance of starting. He will be watched during warmups and if the manager doesn't like what he sees, Wainwright is available at anytime. He will possi-.......wait heres an interuption

'WE NEED TO WIN and i will try anything that may work to do it. If that requires making Pujols pitch, i will do it. If Reyes can pitch, i will do it because whatever we are doing now, it is not working! I will be changing a lot of things up soon.Some of these players are slumping and not playing the way they CAN play and the tounament isn't long enough for them to get out of a slump. Fans be warned, there could be MANY changes comming up.'

That was the manager of the XBL allstars. As you just heard, many changes will start occuring. Lets all hope that they work. As i was saying, Wainwright might have a good chance of starting because Bevis is a bit rusty and hasn't pitched much in this tournament.

After the break....THE WORLDS BEST BASKETBALL PLAYER IS.........10 years old? Back after this....."
