Laffey Starting Tonight

Colbertcolbertcolbert_tiny by tobytobytoby on Comment 37 comments

Starting for Buffalo that is. All of rumors seem to be much ado about nothing. Perhaps a trade fell through at the last minute or something will still take place today (assuming Cabrera was put on waivers Monday). Considering the price the Brewers paid in their trade, I can certainly see Shapiro passing on any potential trades this year.

Re: Laffey Starting Tonight
Yeah, it has all the signs of a trade that fell through.

My Photoshopping goes for naught. :(

Re: Laffey Starting Tonight
I still can't get over "Cleveland Cherry".  Great stuff, man.

Perhaps your Fausto Can can make the game recap...

Re: Laffey Starting Tonight
Laffey's actually starting the 1pm game today. Doubleheader.

Re: Laffey Starting Tonight
Maybe he's going to pitch a little in that one, speed down I-90 to Cleveland and start tonight's game? Herman "Hi" Bell ain't got nothing on Laffey!

Re: Laffey Starting Tonight
Of course, if you assume Clifton is on the hill tonight, you gotta be thinking this...

Which sleepy kitten will we get tonight?

Re: Laffey Starting Tonight
Oh, thanks.  
So, you have to go and make them yourself? Is there a website that generates them?

Re: Laffey Starting Tonight
I just Photoshopped that one myself, but apparently on this site it can do it for you.

Re: Laffey Starting Tonight
can I request some sort of a Mike Rouse photoshop for your next piece?

Re: Laffey Starting Tonight
If I (or anyone else) can come up with something creative, I'd be happy to use the Photoshop for any and all humorous Indian creations.

Re: Laffey Starting Tonight
I keep trying to come up with a good joke using the word "A-Rouse-d." And failing.

How about his face on the head of every member of the cast of Full House? "Full Rouse."

BTW, I think Mike Rouse has done a great job this year. We have a utility infielder that actually fields, and a pinch runner that actually runs. Frankly, I feel that's an improvement.

Re: Laffey Starting Tonight
I'm not sure I'm okay with the Mike Rouse version of Uncle Jesse.

I flashed back to Dukes of Hazzard rather than Full House when you said Uncle Jesse .. heh

Re: Laffey Starting Tonight
All our childhood dreams die sometime, Ang. Jodie Sweetin turned out hotter than Candice Cameron. (I'll leave the Olsen twins out of this discussion.) Who saw that coming?

Re: Laffey Starting Tonight
Val Bure married Candice Cameron. That has to be one of the random athlete/thespian marriages of all-time.

Re: Laffey Starting Tonight
Whining about how the utility infielder is hitting is the lowest form of baseball conversation.

Re: Laffey Starting Tonight
I was actually thinking a picture showcasing all of his baseball tools. Like a Tim the Toolman Taylor job.

Do you have this line saved on your clipboard somwhere for easy pasting whenever someone whines about Rouse?

Re: Laffey Starting Tonight
With the exception of Asdrubal and some recently promoted pitching, we've kind of tapped out the keg of high-level prospects. On one hand, that's what depth is for. On the other, it would be nice to see some of the guys in Akron bust out.

Re: Laffey Starting Tonight
It's not easy to have a bunch of good prospects in the high minors when half your starters are under 25.

Re: Laffey Starting Tonight
Laffey's gotten a lot of ground ball outs today and a few K's. Just made one mistake to the immortal Wiki Gonzalez, though he was squeezed on the 2-2 pitch. Even the pitch he knocked out was a decent pitch
