The boys (you know, Mario, Rod, John Keating, even Ryan Field) are way more entertaining when Verdiggity is on the mound. They become playful children enjoying America's pastime. Here's a rundown of some of the ridiculousness:
- John Keating hates mascots...he said it, not me. I'm with you John. Ryan Field, on the other hand, gets shoulder rubs from female mascots. The ladies can't resist the Field.
- Mario sits at home with a thesaurus thinking of adjectives for when he tells people to switch over to the HiDef channel. Rod remarked that since tomorrow the game is on ESPN and Monday is an off day, Mario will have two days to think of a great adjective for Tuesday.
- Jhonny lives in Cleveland still? That's unfortunate. But hey dude, congrats on your upcoming paternity. He's having twins. Tigers called up Hernan Perez from single A Lakeland... I guess we are out of players to call up from Toledo? Couldn't go to AA either? Don't tell me it's just time to give up. I'm not ready for that yet.
- Rod claims that Santiago's "sweet shades" helped him with his home run. Santiago also had "sneaky power" shirts made, but only signed Mario's. How do I get one of these?
- In general, the items on the "Rod Allen Drinking Game" are more frequent when JV pitches. I haven't done any scientific research, but I believe my hypothesis is true.
- Rod admitted during the game to coming up with crazy stuff! Granted it was while accusing a Reds player of being crazier than him on Twitter though.
- Keating is Rod's "Road Dawg", mainly because of his hook up with the food. Way to hang Mario out to dry! Is it because John Keating is the name of Robin Williams' character in Dead Poets' Society? Or just because he's the epitome of cool?
- Right after the "Shout Out" to Mary Agnes in Kalamazoo for her 100th birthday, Fielder hit a homer. Guess they need to mention Kalamazoo more often!
- Mario makes a quip about the Tigs only hitting solo homers. Ouch, you know it hurts extra when it's true.
- Is Delmon Young the worst outfielder...ever? Let's all vote and just agree that it's true. Had I been keeping score, his little miscue with the "sun" would have been an error. Just saying
- 100 MPH in the 4th for Verdiggity. I'm thinking Rario needs to get on board with this "ninja" quote. He was totally NINJA in the 4th.
- The boys also explored the musicality of the Tigs. Smokes sounds like Sinatra when he sings (must be the damage the smoke has done to his vocal cords). Worth and Delmon bring guitars and play on the road. Bboesch plays some unknown instrument (the didgeridoo?).
- Dougie Fresh threw today, so that's always good. Come back Dougie, I miss you.
- WHA?! Fielder started chucking seeds at Bboesch after he started the two out rally. I'd LOVE to know what started all of that. Here are some guesses:
- Bboesch only asked Fielder to pass the seeds, but Fielder only knows how to throw when he is excited
- Bboesch made a joke about switching to left because he's tired of looking at Fielder's butt all game
- Bboesch joked that now is the time to start his campaign for the All Star Game and Fielder was just showing his feelings about how ludicrous that is.
- Smokes says that Bboesch "twisted" his ankle a little on his slide home and Fielder might have just been gently telling him to "man up."
