[« Auction Watch:] [The succint case against Bush: »]
10/24/2004: Gem o'the Day:
Big Stupid Tommy live blogs the World Series (from the seventh inning commentary):
Tony Womack caught one off the body, off the bat of David Ortiz. He's the strongest one there is. I'm not sure you even want to catch it with the protection of a glove. He'll smash! Good thing it hit the ground first. If an Ortiz line drive hits you? It'll leave a three foot exit hole on the other side.
Tim McCarver says "It looks like it caught [Womack] on the clavicle."
Listen to Tim pull out his knowledge. Say collarbone, Tim. I'd wager a good number of us know what the clavicle is, but would prefer you say collarbone. It just sounds better, talking on TV. If we just all collectively admit that you're the smartest, will you stop trying so hard to prove it? Tim needs a swift patella to the groin, if you asked me.
Ortiz ties W.S. record with 4 RBI in a game. He just needs the purple pants.
As they continue to discuss the issue, Joe Buck calls it "clavicle," too.
I think Jack Buck would have called it a collarbone. That's just a guess.
Harry Caray, by the seventh, would have been too drunk to know a clavicle from an Easter ham. But that's neither here nor there.

I hates me some Tim McCarver. I hate Tim McCarver worse than syphilis.
