 | KyleLohsetomy: /manages to throw a pitch without giving up 8 runs |
|---|
 | HerSweetMcCann: /takes the only good pitch Kyle Lohse is ever going to throw |
|---|
 | FrediGotFingered: /gets fatter, does nothing |
|---|
 | BenjaminFrankWren: GOOD EYE BRIAN GOOD EYE, GOOD EYE |
|---|
 | AllSalazarFinal: I think that no matter what, he should swing at this next pitch. |
|---|
 | BenjaminFrankWren: Good idea, but what about the percentages |
|---|
 | AllSalazarFinal: last year Brian had an average of .000 in at-bats where he did not take a swing for a 100% chance of failure. However, inversely, if he moves the bat he has a 50% of swinging |
|---|
 | BenjaminFrankWren: right, but 100% is better than 50%, isn’t it?? |
|---|
 | AllSalazarFinal: haven’t gotten that far yet, don’t have my calc’ on me. |
|---|
 | BenjaminFrankWren: baseball would be great if it wasn’t for all these f**king stats BRIAN SWING AT THE NEXT PITCH |
|---|
 | HerSweetMcCann: Sure thing, semi-skip! |
|---|
 | KyleLohsetomy: uh hey sorry but I can hear you to, didn’t know if you wanted to, uh |
|---|
 | BenjaminFrankWren: THROW THE BALL RED TEAM |
|---|
 | KyleLohsetomy: ok. wait, no, I don’t remember how. oh, hold on, I do /throws awful pitch |
|---|
 | HerSweetMcCann: /foul tips ball directly into Luis Salazar’s eyeball |
|---|
 | AllSalazarFinal: BLEHHHHHHHHH /eyeball flies out /collapses |
|---|
 | BenjaminFrankWren: BAD EYE LUIS BAD EYE |
|---|
 | HerSweetMcCann: /runs to first |
|---|
 | BenjaminFrankWren: Speak to me! Are you all right? |
|---|
 | AllSalazarFinal: /says nothing, as he is borderline dead |
|---|
 | BenjaminFrankWren: He says he’s all right, and that none of us are to blame! We’ve got to get him to a hospital. Fredi, find somebody else to coach bench. |
|---|
 | FrediGotFingered: /waits until the 8th inning, finally brings in somebody else to coach bench |
|---|
| | **Online Host** Meanwhile, in the Atlanta Braves Mansion of Heaven Chatroom… |
|---|
 | RunRabbitRun: whatta ya mean Ryan Klesko, Ryan Klesko ain’t dead |
|---|
 | TheGreatIM: He is. I’m almost positive he is. Didn’t you see him playing for the Padres? Why would I not kill him after that? |
|---|
 | RunRabbitRun: figgered you’d keep a record of that kind a thing is all |
|---|
 | TheGreatIM: Yeah, well, you’d figure I’d do a lot of things. |
|---|
 | RunRabbitRun: dead or not I ain’t puttin’ Ryan Klesko on the All Time Dead Braves Team |
|---|
 | TheGreatIM: What, you want me to kill Dave Justice? |
|---|
 | RunRabbitRun: yeah, kinda, actually hey hold on jesus what in the hell is that behind you |
|---|
 | TheGreatIM: what |
|---|
 | RunRabbitRun: it just popped up there a second ago, that goopy round thing on the ground, with the oh jesus, is that a |
|---|
 | TheGreatIM: not gonna make that joke /turns around |
|---|
 | TheGreatIM: HOLY SH:T WHAT IS THAT |
|---|
 | RunRabbitRun: it looks like a, like a eyeball |
|---|
 | TheGreatIM: Oh, right, okay, that’s Luis Salazar’s eyeball, Brian McCann put it out of his head earlier today, I fogot, that’s part of my great plan. |
|---|
 | RunRabbitRun: man jesus, I don’t wanna sound sacreligious or nothin’, but you got a pretty f**ked up plan |
|---|
 | TheGreatIM: ha, no kidding, you should’ve been here when I decided I needed Ron Santos’s legs |
|---|
/slowclap
commenting cause I want more Dugout
So much good stuff. just briliant. I’ll never get tired of Jesus appearing in the dugout.
what, no lines for the eyeball itself?
Yeah, it’s weird to think that Jesus is one of my favorite Dugout characters, as though I’ve taken some kind of role in creating the character of Jesus Christ. That’s got to be breaking some kind of hubris record.
Jokes about Ron Santo’s legs and God and someone’s dislodged eye!? This, sir, is offensive. I have never heard of the Dugout before but I am COMPLETELY and 100% sure that it is morally repugnant.
@George – why would an eyeball have a computer, that’s ridiculous come on get real
Hahahaha just kidding. Kyle Lohse really does suck. Great job B!
so what did he need John Kruk’s testicle for?
GET A BRAIN MARANVILLE
So your saying Jesus wanted John Kruk’s testicle?
Damn you Najeh!
Way too unrealistic–too much statistical acumen among Braves mananagement (and I say that as a Braves fan).
Everything else seems about right.
Just out of curiosity, what happened to wordupthome.com? It’s currently a dead link.
Anyway, great job as usual.
Yay my team’s annual dugout. And somehow I knew this would be the topic since the day it happened. Great job as usual. (And WL/uproxx will lose a reader of other articles on here if the Dugout goes).
Needs a proper goodbye for Farnsworth.
Don’t worry Girthquake, there’s plenty of phantom testicles to go around. Give Mike Lowell or Adrian Beltre’s nuts a shot.
CORRECTION: Beltre kept his testicle. Sorry for any contusion that might have caused
I was really hoping this would tie into McCann’s problematic vision.
oh jesus, is that a
not gonna make that joke
Glad you made sure that got in.
His eyeball is a jerk for not commenting.
AllSalazarFinal is genius
I stopped reading WL months ago, but I’m back so long as The Dugout sticks around.
I cringe whenever a sportscaster says “Lohse.” Then I smile because he’s not on the Cubs.
I loved the names- KyleLohsetomy is new, isn’t it? He was something else on the last site. ‘Bad eye Luis’, a Ron Santo joke… tremendous. But for the record, I’ve been referring to the Angels as The Red Team ever since Arte Moreno dumbed all over their real name. So the red team can’t be the Cardinals.
“He says he’s all right.” HEEEEEE hee hee!
“That was awesome!” *clap clap clapclapclap*
/indie wrestling crowd chants
//shows self out
Hahaha!
“However, inversely, if he moves the bat he has a 50% of swinging.”
Ha!
Skip from Heaven’s Press box “Out-side 0 and 2″
“He says he’s all right and none of us are to blame.”
Thank you for that.
TheGreatIM: Yeah, well, you’d figure I’d do a lot of things.
A++++++++++, more dugouts please.
Amazing stuff, B. Amazing.
Just realized this — Is “He’s all right” a reference to the literal doctor?
RIP Raul Julia
love per usual
Eye am queyete enamored with this webcomeyec.
I’m so happy to see Spring Training dugouts again.
BenjaminFrankWren made me giggle far too much
I am never disappointed in The Dugout.
Supposedly Eve was formed from Adam’s rib. Lord knows what will be produced with Salazar’s eye and Santo’s legs.
Great work, B.
Wiping away tears out of one good eye.
mmmm… its good to see Dugouts back!
Haha @ “Heaven Chatroom”.
What will you come up with next?
Do you know why I love The Dugout? Besides that there might be something mentally wrong with me (and also because I am a Yankees fan)… it’s because you can make something so horrible and disgusting like this funny and heartwarming …. and why the hell HASN’T Jesus killed David Justice yet?
AWESOME – so glad The Dugout isn’t borderline dead anymore!
This was fantastic.
no, seriously, we need to hear from the eyeball
Great work here. I was going to ask if BenjaminFrankWren was a redoing of his screen name but somehow I managed to find a Fanhouse-era dugout that revealed to me that it wasn’t.
Reminds me how much I always love the Dugouts when someone dies
MORE PEOPLE NEED TO DIE SO I CAN GET JESUS’S TAKE ON IT
This is very good I like it
Good stuff. Have PECOTA and Jesus ever met?
BAD EYE LUIS!
Ronnie still has to be an amputee in heaven then? That would be great.
Now finally Stuart Scott will be able to talk about baseball
Due to an unfortunate processing error with Antonio Alfonseca, Jesus only has eight fingers.
I pretty much love the picture choice for this one.
