35. You Didn't Mean DH, Did You??
Anything but that. No real ballplayer wants to be a DH? DL would be football, and i never did football. Too little.

8. I forget which one we are though...
are we the light-hearted buffoon with the upper-hand AND the baseball, or are we the inebriated, confused, fat guy with the gun?

12. 6' 5", 227 lbs. power-hitter who can smoke 'em into the alleys...
I'll platoon at 1st base with enigmatic -- I 've got an 8.5' reach, standing flat-footed (if I jump, who knows how high?). I can snare most errant throws, unless they're way into the crowd.

Play ball! :bounce:

28. That's Not Being A Statistician, Kitchen
Sabrematricians are not real statisticians. At least that's what we statisticians all say. Now, if you take those sabremetrics and can really define a model that says waht a lineup needs to look like to win between 95 - 102 games, given a pitching staff that has x.xx ERA and .xxx BAA, then you are a statistician.

26. I'll Go Out There With Ya, Terry
I was always the guy who had to go place next to the one who couldn't catch.

Wasn't a bad hitter, just not strong enough to be a power hitter. So, my job was to hit singles, steal bases, and protect the guy who couldn't play the field.

I'll play center. I got your back.

30. Thanks, Professor!
I was one of the LAST chosen in high school softball. So, my skills on the diamond are, shall we say, less than stellar?

I appreciate the coverage, Professor. :-)

32. My Sporting Life!
The other thing i always had to do was guard the other team's best scorer in basketball.

There's something about the defensive side of sports that always charged me up and the coaches must have seen it. Coaches love guys who play defense, and i wasn't doing it because i wanted the coaches to like me. (I hardly ever did anything so someone would like me. My dearth of friends would be the manifestation of that.) I just really, really liked doing it.

Although i was too small to play football, i'd much rather have been a defensive back than a receiver, or a linebacker rather than a running back.

In b-ball, i was a guard. I figured that meant i had to, oh i don't know, GUARD SOMEBODY!

So, i'm used to caring about defense. We'll go out to the field, grab a beer, and talk. The freepers won't get the ball out of the infield anyway.

19. After Ann Coulter's "advice", I'd rather choose another sport.
Soccer. They'll be disgusted by the Yooroopeanness of it and we'll win by W.O.

22. Wouldn't the freeper team consist of...
3 inbred idiots and 6 outhouses?

I can see 'em setting the rules now:

"If it hits an outhouse on the fly, you're out. If it bounces into it, it's a single..."
