This is funny! Also why pitchers cover their mouths with gloves to talk, I bet.
That's actually a pretty recent phenomenon, like within the last few years.
I have to admit, putting body mikes on players is a 99% irrelevant and faintly stupid enterprise, until that 1% moment when it totally pays off, as with catching swear words or gossip or that one time this summer when Kevin Youkilis called a Manny home run 30 seconds before it happened.
My favorite moment microphone moment was during a Dodger game on Fox. Alex Cora and Cesar Izturis pulled a great fake out on an opposing player near second base, and the announcer started going on and on about how Fox had the foresight to mike Cora, so we could all hear what was said. So, with great anticipation, they cut to "The Sounds of the Game." The problem was that Cora is from Puerto Rico, and Izturis is from Venezuela, so when Fox played back what they said, it was all in Spanish.
I own a very profane rant from Tommy Lasorda while he was coaching third base, and also Earl Weaver's brilliant and blistering post-game show about "team speed."
Is the Lasorda thing the Kingman rant? Because that was great (although I only have the bleeped version).
David got my actual age, but I'll keep Cashmere's actual age.
but the pain is still there, is very queer, and doesn't want any more bears.
How's the healing coming on the outside, juliana. Are you recognizing the woman in the mirror?
I like my actual age. It's one of my favorite numbers. I wouldn't mind staying 22. Of course, I missed that number, and the number I actually got before was 13. Which I guess can be in honor of the fact that I am graduating on Friday the 13th, come May.

"Not her face! Not her beautiful face!"

I think that's it. Maybe I need to do a special baseball mix and I could throw some of these things on it for you and Nutty and Ple.
David got my actual age,
You're older than JZ.
I wouldn't mind staying 22.
Tell me how that works out, okay? I wouldn't mind 22 either.
Okay. On this twenty-second day of December, I hearby proclaim that I will remain twenty-two, for the many years to come.
(Adult Diapers, Metamucil, Broken Hips, Nursing Homes, and Ensure-- I'm looking at you.)
So mote it be.
One of the secretaries in my group called in sick. Her five year old niece was killed in a driveby shooting last night. She was safe in her house, the bullet came through the window, and she was dead. May you find peace and an endless stack of presents under a pink xmas tree with sparkly ornaments, wee girl.
They arrested a 25 year old asshole.
Merry fucking christmas you waste of flesh. I hope there is a hell in which you can burn.
You're older than JZ.
Oh, yeah, well, you're older than Scott. Maybe.
(He's 40. You may not be. I actually have no clue as to your age.)
Oh, god. That's just too horrible.
Peace to your coworker, Allyson, although it can't come easily or soon.
Oh, Allyson. There are no words. That's just horrific.
