The Dugout: Fraternity Test

The Asian Invasion continues as the Texas Rangers firebomb a village and force a young boy and his sister to live out their lives in a bomb shelter, eating rocks and burying fireflies until somebody, anybody, can go two and a third innings without giving up five runs.

And hey, who knows more about going to Asia to get some relief than Maury Povich?

The Dugout

TuesdaysWithMaury: Today on the program we have Ron.

BoomBoomWashington: /looks down
/rubs hands together pensively

TuesdaysWithMaury: Ron is the head coach of a professional, major league baseball franchise. But Ron can't seem to staff his bullpen! In fact, Ron has had so much trouble staffing his bullpen he has had to go to other COUNTRIES to do it!

**Online Crowd**
Ohhhhh

BoomBoomWashington: That's right, Maury, I have looked all over the United States for a relief pitcher but, uh uh, they ain't havin' it.

TuesdaysWithMaury: And you say you've tried getting players from other American teams?

BoomBoomWashington: Mmmhm, Maury, you would not believe the kind of people who have shown up to pitch relief. Maury, one guy showed up wearing GOGGLES. Maury, he did a bunch of steroids! And then his ARM turned into a LEG and then FELL OFF

**Online Crowd**
Awwwww


BoomBoomWashington: It FELL OFF, Maury!

TuesdaysWithMaury: /grimaces

And what about Wes Littleton?

BoomBoomWashington: Wes Littleton looks like Bud from The Cosby Show, Maury.

TuesdaysWithMaury: Ron had to go to the land of Japan to find a relief pitcher, but it's not easy. In fact, Ron FOUND a relief pitcher in Japan who feels HE is NOT the relief pitcher for Ron!

KazuoFridays: I hurt myself playing for the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles, I had surgery to remove bone chips from my elbow. There is no way I could pitch in America!

**Online Host**
Kazuo, 31, says he is too injured to play baseball.

KazuoFridays: Ron Washington is a bitch AND a ho. He thinks I can pitch, but I can't! I don't even LIVE in America!

KazuoFridays: I am 250% sure that I am not the new relief pitcher for the Texas Rangers.

TuesdaysWithMaury: Let's bring him out. Kazuo, come on out!
