Sperm Edwards Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 When the whole country who isn't fast asleep is always watching (because there's nothing else on), and this is what you wear to go on Carson, you're doing it right. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugg Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Once while with the Cardinals, catching Bob Gibson, Gibson gave up a homer with Uecker behind the plate. Uecker got out of his crouch and started walking toward Gibson as if to give him some advice. Gibson quickly shut him down; "You're gonna give me advice, Uecker? Get your fat fvcking hungover ass back behind the plate .The only thing you know about pitching is you can't hit it". End of conference. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
