Hell In The Cell: A White Sox CAP Franchise

[saints551]

I was thinking of starting a CAP franchise as the Chicago White Sox using MLB 2K10. The events will focus on more that just the games and will be told in a first person format. Each post will be laid out in the following way:

Location: where events are mainly based
Time: Approximate time and date of events
Events:

The conversations will be formated like this:

Tim: Whats up?
Dan: not much

any background information will be in paragraph format and my thoughts will be in italics.

I will provide a list of key charcters so readers can keep track also a new character post as part of a thought when a charcter first appears. I may also assign each character a color if it is decided by public oppinion that this would make it easier to follow.

Lastly, other improvements will include: screenshots and videos once I figure out how to produce quality products: anyone who has experience creating film or taking screenshots your help is greatly aprisciated.

thoughts?

Date: Feburary 3 2010

Location: my house/ Cam's car/ Plamer Place

time: 2:30 PM


cell phone vibrates.

Me(thinking out loud): I swear if the Tribune got this number... oh its Cam.
text message:
hey dude want to go to Palmers.
I hit reply: ok give me 5 min

As usual he would be at least 10 minutes
well Nolan, this is what you get for not being able to drive, ****ing eye promblems; you can hit a baseball pitched 100 MPH over a 33 ft wall but you can drive a car how *** **** sad is that?

10 min later....

Me: you're late
*Cam: chill had something to do

Cam is Cam Brenson, you may have heard of him: Long guy for the Chicago Cubs No? Well Cam and I have known each other since we were about six years old, always more of a soccer god, his outlook changed when he discovered the art of junk pitching. Cam has a plamball a knuckleball and just about any othe obscure pitch you can think of, which is probably why you haven't heard of him come to think of it. Cam and I came up together rookie ball all the way to AAA in Iowa,he managed to win about 40 games in the minors which is why we were shocked when the Cubs decided that a 17 year old who threw junk wouldn't survive life as a major league starter and demoted him to the role of an inning eater out of the pen.

Me: Chat rollett dosen't count as an excuse

Cam: it does if you're me
Me well I'm not you in fact, I'm 165 RBIs not you

Im sorry, you're probably still wondering who I am: my name is Nolan Holt, #7, 2nd baseman for the Chicago Cubs. In comparision to my teamates, Im a late bloomer: I didn't play organized baseball until high school. This all being Ironic because I was first to get the call to The Show and lead the Majors with 165 RBIs as a ROOKIE.

Me: Whatever, why are we going there anyway?

Cam: I don't know Graham wanted food and you knoow:

(finishing for him) Me: if Graham wants something you better do it

Cam: or he'll spread a rumor that your on HGH just to stir things up


sorry, short on time second part and possibly another update coming tonight.

We pulled into the parking lot and found a spot near the front.

Me: This place is packed, how in the hell are we going to find a tabel?

Cam: Well, Nick was suposed to get here early enough with Graham to reserve one but he is often so focused on food that he probably forgot.

when we entered the resteruant, I noticed our table was near the front.

Good I thought at least we'll be able to escape in case of a mass signing session. Don't get me wrong, I love signing balls for kids because not so long ago I was one and I remember all to well the feeling of "prick" as your favorite player all but ignored your plea. What I did mind was when I was out with my friends teammates or not and somebody stood up and went "theres so and so" and all of a sudden 500 kids, teenagers and beer swilling old guys ran up wanting an autograph or their picture to be taken with you. Worse yet is when you calmy try to explain why you not be signing that night and some wise *** calls you a dick and says you should "Honnor the fans."

*Nick: why are you so edgey?

Nick Curran plays first base for the Chicago Cubs, he has been my best friend since we were five and remains so today. Beggining his career as a center filder, Nick was forced to take up first base after his mobility declined when he sustained a leg injury while making a sliding catch in Double A.

Cam: hes worried about being mobbed by fans again

Nick: well then don't tell him that Skin Head wanted us to wear our uniforms.

*Graham: Hey don't blame me, I just thought they would rip the check up if they knew who we were.

Graham O'Toole has been my friend for nearly as long as Nick. A former hockey goalie, Graham is the back up catcher for the Cubs. He was crisened Skin Head do to his almost bald appearence and often cynical nature.

Me: Are you serious? you make 15 MILLION dollars as a backup and you're still trying to beat the system by trying not to pay for an $8.00 hamburger?

Graham: well yeah...

Cam rolls his eyes

Jim enters and sits on Cam's left

*Jim: hey guys, sorry I'm late

Jim McCrohan has know me for about 10 years now. Always more musically inclined, Jim began his surprising baseball career as a closer. After struggling at the AAA level including a streak of 20 blown saves and a 11.79 ERA, Jim was shipped back to low A. After developing a wicked knuckelcurve and nasty slider, Jim redeemed himself as a solid 5th starter Jim pitched his way to a 29-0 record and sported a 1.79 ERA.

Me(not listening): yeah me hitting um on to Waveland, Jimbo striking out 200, this is going to be a great year.....

Jim: uh Nolan
Me: BP chewing out umps
Nick: RAMBO!!!
Me: WHAT?
Graham: If you would shut up Jim says he has something important to tell us.
Jim pulled out a copy of the Tribune

Jim(reading aloud): The Chicago Cubs have trade over 20 players including : Jim McCrohan, Nick Curran, Cam Brenson, Graham O'Toole, Nolan Holt, and basicly our championship team to the White Sox for undisclosed reasons.

Cam: What the ****?

Nick: Is this serious?

Graham: Jim Hendry is a goddam dumb ***

Me: You must realize why he did this

Nick: what does that mean?

Me: Well considering the five of us here are making about 120 mil combined multipled by 5 that would mean the Cubs would at minium need a 600 million dollar payroll set aside just for players alone.

Jim: he has a point

Cam: but even if that is true, they could have still kept at least some of us, why scrap all of a team that lost only five games and won the World Series?

jim: I'm not sure

Graham: wait, didn't the Sox just get a new owner? maybe this new guy whoever he is, is so rich that he just bought all of our contracts.

Me: yeah maybe but I can't think of anyone who has that much cash to devote to a baseball team.

Re: Hell In The Cell: A White Sox CAP Franchise

Feburary 12th 2010

Sedgwick Park Batting Cages

11:30 AM

Pieroth hits in the cages

*BP: Aww yeah there we go

BP is Brian Pieroth, the true Cubs catcher, he joined the Cubs in AA last year and made the opening day roster. A clutch hitter with decent power, Brian hit 20 homers as a rookie and usurps the switching hitting O'Toole due to his game calling ability. Known to rutionely get on umps both at bat and behind the plate, Pieroth is a personality to say the least.

Nick: Hit it and get it, lets move on to the field.

Me: just make sure its the Babe Ruth one, we don't want a repeat of last time.

Nick(laughing): oh yeah... ooops

Last time me made the mistake of hitting on the A league field and Nick hit a bomb over the trees that went through the roof of the concession stand. needless to say we had to pay for damages, yeah so much for keeping a low profile....

Cam: whose pitching?

Jim: I will, need to make sure I remember my arm slots

Graham: yeah so you cut back on those 15 home runs you allowed last year.

Jim: thats such bull ****, if you hadn't have insisted on every 3rd picth being a slider at least 10 of those wouldn't have happened.

Nick: Jim stop bitching, Graham you're first lets see if you can even hit that. Brian catch.

Brian squats down behind the plate Jim walks to the mound Graham digs in.

Me: fastball low and away I bet

Cam: we should have brought a gun

Me: no need, we've all seen Jim throw a thousand 4 seamers, that one was probably 95.

the next pitch was a knuckelcruve that broke straight away Graham almost swings out of his shoes.

Graham: *** **** it!!!!

Cam: High heat

Graham strikes out swinging

Me: 100

Nick is next he takes a first pitch slider over the center field fence

Jim: oh ****

Me: My turn

I step in and point to left field (Cam and Graham laugh)

first pitch fastball hit to left field and back... over the wall

Nick: oh HELL NO

BP & Cam: Back to Back Jacks

Me: one uped

My phone rings

Cam: who is it?

Me(holding up a hand to silence him): Top 150

Me: hey Kristen....
