While the Baton Rouge Biscuits battles the geriatric Gaywads this week a 
question has swirled around the BIGs like wildfire. How can any competent manager keep writing the name Paul Konerko into the lineup? Konerko has proved to be serviceable when he’s hot, but over the last month, Konerko has batted a low .204. Only three 1st basemen in the league have a lower batting average. Over the last week Konerko has batted an embarrassing .167 and his offense numbers rank 854th in the BIGs. JP Vinson sent out a league memo to everyone but the Biscuits. In the memo, it questioned Abel sanity for still starting Konerko; it also listed an easy dozen first basemen on waivers that should start over Konerko. Vinson, who is usually upfront, is still upset over a report that came out from the Biscuits front office. League sources have also confirmed reports that Abel held a meeting with Brandon Webb and the two may have reached an agreement of release. If Abel is going to compete in the playoffs, 
he’ll need every bench spot available. The Really Steven’s Manager Allen Lawrence also confirmed the stupidity involved.

He’ll hit for a month and then shitYou really should expect more from the self-proclaimed manager of the future. Joey Abel did not respond to calls to his office or home for this article.
in your mouth…I’m not saying release the guy, god knows his wife is hot…but
Jesus get him out of your starting lineup.”
Peggy Noonan should have really looked for a quote from a more reputable manager. At 61 games back, Lawerence isn't exactly the authority on starting lineups.
