Ponderings

What I imagine happened in the clubhouse Friday before game 1 vs. the Mariners. (And I'm betting this is pretty close to verbatim)

Justin: Hey, guys, so I was thinking. You know Cassy, the girl who writes the Chicks On Second blog?

Nick Punto: Oh yeah! She's freakin' hilarious.

Justin: Right, and so loyal. I was thinking about what her and the other Chicks have been through the last few weeks. Like that 9-0 loss to Detroit. And the sweep by the Orioles (as the team winces in pain.) And really, don't we owe them? She's so understanding of our facial hair and my Canadian-ness.

Joe: You know what J? I think you're right. You know what you all should do? Shave your damn faces! Sure, she may look a little stupid for blogging about it and then the SAME night we all have clean faces, but really, she does love the baby face look.

Team: Yeah! Good idea Joe.

Justin: You know what else we should do? Joe, let's hit back to back home runs two nights in a row, because chicks dig the long ball.

Joe: Ooooh ... and I'll do my patented rub down on Francisco Liriano because it makes her smile.

Liriano: Wait what?!?!?!

Joe: (Ignoring Francisco) Yeah, all right let's do it.

Denard: Guys, I can't shave all of my beard off! How am I going to look intimidating? I'm only going to clean it up a little. She's gotta understand, right?


Of course I understand Denard, it's all good. And you boys may not have won on Sunday, but ... two out of three from the Mariners is pretty damn sweet.

And Cuddy? That three-run jack on Saturday? HOT.
