Brugalmesh bashes Mighty Joe Young

Baltimore Team Chairman and General Manager Brugalmesh had some not so kind words for recently departed 1B/DH Mighty Joe Young. In an open letter to the fans of Baltimore published in today's newspaper, he stated the following:

"I am disappointed in the way Joe held our team and the league hostage with his "decision". Over the last several years, Baltimore has experienced unparalleled success, and has built our team into a perennial powerhouse. For Joe to leave our organization and take a pay cut in the process says a lot about his lack of character, and faith in both his former teammates, and our organization. Joe's reason for leaving is that the team has failed to win a World Championship. That's ridiculous. Winning a title is not a "right", and many times comes down to good old fashioned luck. Our "failure" to win a World Championship in the last 3 years is a fate that 27 of the 30 teams in the league have had to come to terms with. The truth is, our "failure" to win a World Championship is just as much attributable to Joe's lack of performance in the clutch as it has to do with bad luck. Look it up - Joe failed in several key moments in last years playoff run. Although I didn't say anything about it at the time, I had a feeling that Joe had already "checked out" on our team, when we were trailing in the series.

Mark my words, Baltimore will win a World Championship before Mighty Joe Young and the Miami Stars win one.

Sincerely,
Brugalmesh
Chairman, GM Baltimore Colts
