Doug:
OK, so let me get this straight. The guy who locks a 14-year old girl in his bedroom of his parent house for 10 years is named Thomas John Hose?
Bill:
What the fuck were his parents thinking? You think he's got a brother named Peter Johnson Hose?
Doug:
Well his parents are obviously fucked up. How do they not know there's a 14 year old girl locked in their house, not for an hour, not for a day, but for 10 fucking yeahs?!?!
Bill:
Meanwhile, I know it's not politically correct to stereotype and/or judge by appearances, but how the fuck is it that every time they catch one of these pervs they always look exactly like a guy who'd lock a 14-year old girl in a room for 10 years?
Doug:
Speaking of judging by appearances, Francona officially anoints Foulke as the closah.
Bill:
Yet anothah reason why I'd nevah cut it as a major league skippah. How the frig do you put that much faith in a guy who not only is coming off knee surgery to, fingahs crossed, fix his horrible '05 season but who also has yet to pitch in a game this spring?
Bill:
Tito's got nads of steel. He knows Foulke's struggles are as much mental as physical, so he does everything he can to boost the guy's self-esteem. No wondah the playahs are so loyal to him.
Doug:
I just hope Francona is right. I really don't relish the idea of la-dee-dah'ing through April and May with the "it's early yet" mantra. not when Toronto is retooled and ready and the Yankees are, well, the fucking Yankees. We're going to need to every single win and then some.
Bill:
No kidding. With a retooled and ready Toronto and with the Yankees being, well, the fucking Yankees, we're going to need to every single win and then some.
