In a stunning turn of events, I Puig My Pants Manager Bill Woods has been relieved of his duties. The announcement was made today via the message board on Yahoo Fantasy Baseball, and raised eyebrows all around the Bi-lateral Leg Weakness Baseball League.

The announcement came from an entity calling himself W. James Woods, Owner of the I Puig My Pants franchise. While it’s unclear at this point if the I Puig My Pants GM William Woods was involved in the situation, it’s interesting that a normally stable ownership group would make a move like this during an otherwise lost season.

The I Puig My Pants franchise has been beset by injuries to their star player Yasiel Puig for most of the season, along with foolishly adding infielder Anthony Rendon under the assumption that he could ever put together a completely healthy season. These injuries have derailed the IPMP season, but no one expected ownership to react with such rashness. The leagues redraft format makes next season a likely push of the reset button, and the expectations were that the manager would return.

While it’s unclear of who will take over as manager, there are said to be some in house candidates, such as W. J. Woods, or even someone from outside the locality of ownership’s mother’s basement. It’s also unclear at this point the exact reasoning for the move, given the injuries to the team, but sources within the team say that ownership thought that some fresh thinking was needed to be successful next season, and that Bill was very self-hating.

“Yeah, I don’t get it, it’s stupid.” Jeff Smith, ‘Trout, Trout, Let It All Out’ owner, was quoted as saying when asked, although it’s not known if he was talking about the firing or just the message board post in of itself.

After last week’s crushing loss to Bartolo Colon’s Man Boobs last week, the I Puig My Pants franchise dropped to dead last in the BLWBL, and some were hoping that the team would just give up on the season and stop changing its lineup, giving them the advantage for the rest of the season, but no other changes were expected.

This marks an important day in BLWBL history, as if the move makes a difference next season, it could spark changes in how team managers are viewed around the league, and the possibility of dividing up more responsibilities amongst team’s front offices could become a thing. It’s been rumored that the ownership of the Denny Hocking Fan Club franchise had been on unstable ground for many years, and this could be the push they need to also shake things up a bit. As for the rest of the league, it’s likely to be business as usual, with most teams just going about their business and just hoping that ‘Nasty’ Nate never wins the league title again.
