The Ladies of the Snake Pit are creating a calendar. We decided since Erin has a swell camera & takes some pretty random shots we should use them to create a calendar that will cause joy to many women. (See, we are doing good this time around..not evil) The calendar is going to be a 2009 calendar entitled "Cup Check 08".
Baseball players have been known for years for "adjusting" themselves at the plate, on the mound,in the field on the bases & even in the dugout. This season Erin & I have discovered, everyone "cup checks" differently.(WHO KNEW???) Josh is discreet & tough to catch, Michael Young is quick about it & Guardado has this Sumo freakish ritual as he hits the infield grass that can cause cornea burns. Laird takes a hit to the cup better than anyone in MLB..TIVO & rewind..you'll believe us. Salty fusses with himself in between pitches and on and on. But no one has the market cornered on the cup check, like Rrrramon Vazquez.
I am not an authority on the proper ordering of cup sizes (I raised a girl), but I am guessing they come in various sizes. I will go out on a limb and suggest they come in small,(no one is going to own up to extra small) medium, large, extra large and perhaps even an extra extra large. Then there is what is known as the Rrrramon Vazquez. It of course is a special order, probably not a "big" demand for them.
We have noticed the Rrrramon for months but the oddest thing happened last week. Rrrramon did not look right, something was wrong...terribly wrong. He looked off balance & was caught "tripping all over himself" at third base. It hit us! The Rrrramon Vasequez cup was all wrong. Where was it? Was it an evil clubhouse prank for a jokester with cup envy? Was the Rrrramon cup lost, perhaps lost with luggage? Whatever the problem, things were askew, the planets were out of alignment & the Baseball gods appeared displeased.
We are pleased to announce the Rrrramon cup is securely back in place & he no longer appears off balance. Now the team just needs to get back on track.
We'll be selling our calendars at cost and are taking pre-booking orders now! We are including a picture of Rrrramon as a teaser,(haha I said teaser) of what the calendar will be.
With this new cup knowledge I was pleased to give words of wisdom to my 15 year old nephew. I told him when he ordered his equipment for baseball this year, tell the manager that he'll take the Rrrramon Vazquez cup and let him know ASAP. It's special order, you know.
