Walls Holding on By the Seat of His Pants

San Francisco, CA -- As certain as a Morgan Ensberg DL stint, Poor Man's Fart came out of the gate sputtering, stale and woefully insubstantial. However, in a break from recent tradition, the front office is sending signals that it is not content to sit tight and ride out another sour start. Ownership may clear the air.

Unidentified sources within Poor Man's Fart have disclosed that longtime owner and former big leaguer Rich Gedman is strongly considering firing GM Robert Walls after yet another miserable start by PMF. Limping out to a flaccid 4-15-3 start, the "lovable losers" may have overstayed their welcome in the hearts of PMF-fans and executives.

Gedman refused to comment on the matter, but his publicist was kind enough to send our offices an autographed photo of the former Red Sox.

In an exclusive interview only moments after the Clermont BiWeekly Times-Dispatch broke the story, Walls seemed honestly flummoxed by the possibility. The conversation was vintage Walls, an awkward melange of pregnant pauses and slurred stammering punctuated only by staccatoed buck shots of nervous laughter.

When asked what he would do if fired by PMF, Walls spoke of his youth and a potential return to the proverbial Big Top. It was as a young circus performer that Walls first met PMF owner and longtime mentor, Gedman.

"Yeah, I remember it clearly. We were outside Selma, it was hot as an ape's tit. I had had a pretty miserable show. The fleas were bad down there." recalled Walls.

"Then in walks this lug of a guy. Honestly, I thought he was retarded or deformed. Hell, maybe even trying out for the big time. People are always sending over their freak brother to see if they can get some cash, you know?"

"Anyways, he walks right up to me and says 'Son, how would you like to run a baseball team?' Turns out he could relate to me cause of my condition, and you know...the fact he looked like he should be on tour with us."

Gedman would later admit that his decision to hire Rob "The Dog Faced Boy" Walls as his GM was largely influenced by a brief foray into the world of psychlotropic drugs. He maintains, however that he stands by his decision despite its less than successful returns.

Two weeks later Walls was in Brooklyn overseeing the day to day operations of PMF. His first few seasons have been somewhat disappointing considering the level of talent and capital invested in the team. Fans, players and the media have dogged the team for its lackluster play.

However, there are many within the League of Women Voters who hope that old dog can learn a few new tricks. Perhaps, that will start this week in his match up against foreign import, Equipe.
