BYB Funhouse: Man on Fire!

To underline Nate Robertson's terrible performance last night (four runs, two hits, and two walks, without getting a single out), we post the photo that densogirl has been calling for

This was a stand-by last year, but we haven't used it much (if at all) this season.  Unfortunately, we might be seeing more of it in the weeks to come.  Ladies and gentlemen of the BYB Bunch, it's... the Man on Fire!

Coming to a GameThread or recap near you!

Put yourself out, Nate.  It looks awful.  And hardly anyone wants to be around someone who's smoking.

I take it that there hasn't been an announcement yet

on who’s taking Willis’ place?

I have to assume it’s Miner….I hope. He’ll lose a bunch of games…but not nearly as many as D-Train.

Someone not currently on the team

If it was Miner or someone else on the team they would of said so yesterday.

So, you're saying it's Roy Halladay?

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!

Man On Fire or

“The Grillers………Bring It”

"It's designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything is new again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops, and leaves you to face the fall alone". A. Bartlett Giamatti

might I suggest a tiny tweak?

“The Grilli”

Say hello to the new name for the Bless You Boys Annual End of Season Award for Least Valuable Pitcher!

Might also have to have “the Willie” (hernandez) for bullpen MVP

the “Kaline” for team MVP

Gotta work Ernie in there somewhere.

the “Gibby” for clutch performances…might have Granderson’s name stencilled on that one already…though BigMig might have something to say about that….

The Grilli Award

Somebody’s gotta win it. The tweak is good!

Another tweak

Someone absolutely does not have to win it. They have to EARN it!
