Thunderlips Taps Out!

Thunderlips says 'No Mas!'

Gilbert, AZ-- Director of Custodial Services and Head Groundkeeper, "Celery Stalks" McGrane has announced that the Thunderlips franchise has been KO'ed by crippling dept and a dwindling fan base.  Lead Popcorn Popper LaGreca also commented that ownership hoped fans would continue to come out to the ballpark after the team burst onto the scene in 2005.  As an expansion team, Thunderlips saw instant success making it to the Championship game in their inaugural season.  Tlips would get destroyed (12-1) by the Royal Rooters "Randy Winn and a Prayer Team", but four years later defeated the New Milford Warriors (8-4) for their first and only championship.  McGrane commented, "these moronic fans don't know good fantasy baseball when they see it.  They all want to root for Al Pujols, but what the hell has he won?  Nothing that's what!  Idiots can't appreciate a good small market 'David Beats Goliath Story'.  You can't make this stuff up!"  The Thunderlips franchise closes shop with 1 Championship (2008), 3 trips to the finals, 1 division title, and 5 playoff berths.  LaGreca and McGrane will stay on as draft consultants and will be offering free draft advice and commentary to anyone who is willing to listen on Draft Day.
