BREAKING NEWS: Vandenberg to Make His Managerial Debut

Pirates interim manager S. Townsend has apparently buckled under the pressure of managing a one-win softball team, leaving the managerial duties for tonight's game up to 1B J. Vandenberg.

Townsend told reporters today that he had to "work late". Since it is well-publicized that Townsend's "career" is little more than glorified administrative role used as a cover for blogging on htownsports.blogspot.com, reaction to the news has been somewhat skeptical.

When reached for comment, Pirates PR Director, E. Townsend stated "He hasn't worked a full day in his life. Working late? This is obviously a cover."

Due to Townsend's absence, Vandenberg posted this revised lineup:

Koy – LF
Stanich – P
Vandenberg – 1B
Franchise – LCF
O’Rourke - RCF
Moore – SS
Castille – RF
G. Sharp – 2B
Murillo – C
Thomas – 3B
