Gregg Angier keeps his cool amidst drunken trade spree

The Tom Emanski franchise pulled off yet another trade early this morning with Scioscia's Doghouse. This move, centered around Joey Votto and Manny Machado, marked his 4th deal in his ongoing coup of his back to back 2nd place finishing team. Owner and manager Gregg Angier acknowledged that he has "blacked out on egg nogg" recently and we may still be seeing parts of the hangover. Controversy ensued when the contract of Machado was called into question.

Interestingly enough, rumors were floated that closed door meetings were being scheduled to start yet another impeachment process of Angier, who also holds the title of "Co-Commissioner" in the league. This marks the second consecutive year such rumors have surfaced, as controversial owner Taylor Holiday led a campaign last year to oust the current regime. Sources say that many of the same suitors were involved in the planning stages of this attempt at a power grab.

In a gesture of good faith, though, Gregg Angier undid the trade and held off his naysayers for yet another day. Mark Hennemuth, the owner of Scioscia's Doghouse, breathed a sigh of relief after noting he misunderstood Manny Machado's contract and value in the league.

                        Emotionally worn out, Hennemuth was spotted being comforted by a feline.
