Since moving to FanHouse, we've used Mr.
Jim Thome, one of our central characters, rather sparingly because there have been too many bizarre real-world baseball happenings.
In a sense, we at the Dugout cherish the offseason. Baseball news comes at a slower pace, which means a lot more screwing around on our part. May a Winter of Jim Thome talking in uppercase and
Manny Ramirez befriending inanimate objects keep you warm.

The_Big_Injured: Oh man, the other day I tried to put on a baseball glove. They're so weird. My fingers are only a few inches long, but the fingers on the glove are like twice as long.
|
 |
The_Big_Injured: Then I found a left-handed glove. I was walking around with both gloves on at once, waving them around and going EDWARRRRD GLOVERHANDDDS. It was a joke about Edward Scissorhands, The Movie.

long_live_giambi: I don't know how those position players do it. They're like those freaks in the circus who walk and chew gum at the same time. All I know is, I'm never stepping on grass.

Just when I thought I was done laughing at this one I cracked up again at Thome's rhyming (and non-rhyming). I need to go get me a Thome Dugout shirt one of these days.

"Sports blogger?"
I now see my dream job...after I blow all my money from being a powerful CEO into being an honorary Devil Rays batboy.
