Summer Vacation '07 - Day 3
While on "vacation time," the Soxaholix are well behind the news cycle …
Unidentified Soxaholix character:
Eric Gagne! Eric Friggin' Mr. Magoo Glasses Gagne!?!?!
Unidentified Soxaholix character:
The best bullpen in the Majahs just became the, er, bestestest.
My little nephew actually though Wasdin's last name was Waybick.
No kidding.

Bob, I'll see your couplets and raise you a few of my own:
"Wily Mo"
Wily Mo Pena, he can't wield a bat,
And can't run the bases because he's too fat
He's got a strong arm so he can throw home,
(Gosh, how I do enjoy writing this poem)
He'll be lucky to find a ball in the glare,
But most of the time can do nothing but stare
They said that he'd be the next David Ortiz,
The power? The fight? The guts? Puh-lease!
“What's the problem?” I ask you, “What is his case?”
His crime's always the same: ten men left on base
“Base hit!,” we all cry, in a single, hoarse voice,
But Wily grounds into a fielder’s choice
Just make contact, Wily Mo, show us some brio
Why wasn’t he traded? Don’t know, let’s ask Theo
Natalie, Bob, Yaz, Kazbread, and Lou,
Watch out, Wily, or they’ll pillory you
Look sharp out there, WiMP, and start to play smart,
Your success or demise will be noted by Hart

Clemens - 1.2 innings, 9 hits. Faced 15 batters and then sat down.
Well then. Fark you, Rogah. Keep up the suck, you overpaid bastahd.

The Roadrunner theme song has a weird cadence. But you nailed it, Youk.
Although I would have personally used poetry slash lines for the Skank fans so they'd understand.

Hmm, didn't know they could read...

Well, they could at least use spoons against their knees to play along to the beat.

Bob-
they eat with their fingers, remember? That's why they're always drying the middle one off

Kaz-
I believe that was 1.2 inn, 9 hits AND 8 runs, thank you.... hee, hee

Yeah, but the mother-humpin' Yanks scored 8 in the bottom of that inning. Kinda dulls the Clemens schadenfreude - not to mention, we gave back 3 and are tied ourselves. Both those situations better bang a U-ee... fast.
Anyone else getting jackshit done at work this afternoon? :)
Posted by: Natalie | 2007.08.02 at 02:48 PM
No.
But I have a meeting in 5 minutes.
Idiot scheduling.

Nat-
what tipped you off?
;-)
Posted by: buckner was framed | 2007.08.02 at 03:05 PM
Mirabelly, 3-3.
Who knew?
Posted by: Youk Rules | 2007.08.02 at 03:18 PM
Cora, 1-2 with an RBI.
Who knew?
Posted by: Youk Rules | 2007.08.02 at 03:22 PM
Yankees suck.
Who knew?
Oh, wait.... scratch that

I (heart) Pedroia.

Did you notice that Gabbard got the "L" today?
Posted by: Youk Rules | 2007.08.02 at 04:23 PM
Is this Soxaholixless week almost over?
Posted by: tessie | 2007.08.02 at 04:41 PM
Wile E Mo - I love it. But I'm still just gonna call him 'Bob'. Day games make my mornings so much less stressful - I wake up and they've won. Just have to root against New York for two innings.

Skankees lose! Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Skankees lose.
Posted by: Bob | 2007.08.02 at 05:18 PM
Go for it Bob.

What's that announcer's name?
He's nearly as abhorent as Michael Kay.
Posted by: Bob | 2007.08.02 at 05:22 PM
John Sterling. He and Suzyn Waldman got quite a thrashing on ESPN radio today. It was actually kind of mean ... "I could walk down the hall and find at least 15 duos that would be better at calling a game than those two".
Needed that one-game pickup. KC going to NY and us going to SEA. (Wile E. holds up sign that says "Yipes!")

Natalie--yes.
