Yard Work: The Fee Simple! O Simple!
http://baseballtonight.blogspot.com/2005/05/fee-simple-o-simple.html
As long as it is about baseball, never travels as quickly as it does around a team's locker room. It is fair to say that the Reds were taken by surprise, which is to say poleaxed, which is also to say stunned, ambushed, shocked. Stymied. Undercut. Poleaxed. Blindsided. In a word: poleaxed. The locker room, so often the site of boyish hijinks, was more like a freshly-dug grave, or a Trappist monastery, or a swimming pool in winter. No one dared speak. They had lost The Closer. For he had gone too far this...

Bleep Bleep - July 25th. Oh yeah, I loved hearing Ron Gardenhire. Give it right back to those umps Lee Elia. Then you gotta play footsie with the f*cking press, a bunch of cupcake-kissing fat campers asking their stupid sh*t questions like, "What'd you think about losing 10-0 to a Sally League team? Or "How'd you feel when Cormier walked the bases loaded three times in a row? Or "Why the hell are you giving that f*ckwit David Bell any playing time? Shit You ain't going for the g*ddamn Oscar, so just say ...
