I almost fell off of my dinosaur when Chipper said "pentagon" last night.

This lineup needs one more muckle amongst its muggles.

Leather larceny: ball hit into glove regardless of difficulty level

Are there many "dirt dippers" out there?

Good question. I do remember, that while mired in a slump, Jason Giambi used to wear a golden thong under his uniform. Maybe it helped his hip-rotation..

Right Down Clark Street is a pitch down the middle.

Couple from last night

Harness: catcher's gear, maybe specifically the helmet but who knows
Playing pepper: sharp ground ball back to the pitcher
