He gone!!!
Like any trophy-winning team, the Herald-Whig Demons must retool if they're to get better the following season.
Immediately after Thursday's season-ending 11-0 win over U.S. Cooler, The Weamster informed Matthew "Ed" Sprague his services were not going to be needed for the 2007 season.
"He's gone," The Weamster said while bouncing his little bundle of joy, Natalie, on his lap while sucking down a Bud Select after the game. "I'm still waiting for my money. If his glove was worth taking, I'd repossess it since he never paid."
Demons insiders weren't shocked by the news that Ed had been cut. Nor do they see it as a major hinderance as the teams repositions itself for a move up the Division V ladder.
"We lost Sprague," Kriss Kross said. "No big loss."
Sprague had talked before the game about moving up to the Division IV ranks next season. Earlier this season he had demanded a trade. He only came out to play in the final two makeup games when he was guaranteed to play every inning.
His final game as a Demon was one to forget. He popped up to the shortstop twice before finally delivering for the first time since June with a two-run single in his final Demons at-bat.
Say what you want about Ed, he gave us some memories. Who will forget when he gave himself a wedgie trying to make a play in right field in a 33-25 victory over Uncle Bob's in early May? Then there was his infamous slide in a 24-4 win over U.S. Cooler later that month that ripped his leg apart.
Sure, we'll miss him moping around the dugout after making yet another out, but we have to get rid of the dead weight. Ed is part of what we must shed in order to attain our ultimate goal - winning the Division V title.
Sprague was unavailable for comment Thursday night. He was practing Madden and watching reruns of "The Family Guy."

How's this for a comment? Watching you run, I don't know whether to cheer you on or hold a telethon for you. Did someone club you in the knees as a kid and you're just not telling us?
Almost forgot...your running style reminds me of little Forrest Gump before he got those leg braces off.
