You are exactly right! Sometimes, though, it's that good ol' fashioned "f" word.

This post is in a handbasket that is getting warmer by the minute.
Try this Rhyme: It's insanity to use profanity.

BTW, If it's not your call, SHUT UP. If your partner needs help with a pulled foot or a check swing, let him or her ask and don't reply to some coach looking for a call.

In the eighth inning of the first game of a DH when the Pilots are getting pounded (again): "Well, gentlemen, the sandwich choices in between games are chicken, turkey, and roast beef"


How appropriate was it when the first trade the Pilots ever made, was trading away Lou Piniella???

I have to admit that through Ball Four, I got a very elementary education in swearing at the tender age of 11....

The TV show barely made a few episodes, so I doubt a movie would do much better. Especially in today's world when most people would sit there, shrug their shoulders and say, "yeah, so what's the point?"
