We interrupt this period of silence to bring you one the funniest goddamn websites that has ever, ever, ever been made: Yard Work.
Pointed out on Baseball Primer on that same wonderful thread that brought me news that Jim Kruk asked, on-air, why a team would play an obviously injured pitcher like Jim Mecir who limps in from the bull-pen, I now point you to a website so full of wroth and rage and general hilarity that I woke my father from a dead sleep at 2:16 AM in the morning because I was laughing so hard.
Highlights include: the Jim Tracy one, this Curt Schilling one, and yeah, this Curt Schilling one too, and oh God, oh God, the Jim Thome posts (1, 2, 3) And the genius of titling a George Will column Triumph of the ahahaha Will? So great on so, so many corny levels.
Really. I cannot understand most of the TV personality ones because I watch no commentary TV and watch non-A's-broadcast baseball games with the sound turned off, but go. Read.
PS: The Danny Graves and Eric Milton posts hurt me, but in a way that results in choking and almost-tears. Have you ever heard an interview with a Cincinnati Red? There are, indeed, exactly as that blog puts them, but with fewer two syllable words and more sixty word sentences that make no sense. There is something in the cooler in Cincy that makes them very nice -- stupid as anything, but incredibly, ridiculously nice.
