Chuck Tanner: Which base were you throwing to?

Dale Berra:  Seventh?

Tanner:  He’s done.  Hey, Murray!  Get him out of here.  Who we got?

Berra: Sixth?

Murray (Bench Coach):  Ahh, Chuck the best we can do is bring in Belliard… and he is currently getting a… well a “massage” in the locker room.

Tanner: Christ on a cracker… What is Milner doing?

Murray:  He just tore up his jersey looking for his “secret pocket” and is sweating buckets.  We can’t send him out there.

/Berra calls over the Pirate Parrot waving a couple 20s.

Tanner:  What the hell are you doing?

Berra:  Just trying to get a bump, coach.

Tanner:  Get on the bump?  We got Rod Scurry out there.  The man just wants to throw gas today.  Hey Rod!  How about an off speed pitch here or there buddy?

Scurry:  Coach… I’m pretty sure that today I can both pitch and catch.  I can catch my own pitches.  This means you can use four guys in the outfield and seven on the infield.

Tanner:  What the… Will you just throw the damn ball?

/John Milner runs out of the dugout.

Milner:  Hey Lee!  You got any more suga’?  I got the itching again.  You owe me after I let you go back door on my old lady last night!  Don’t even pretend I don’t know!  You got to pay to ride that train!

Lee Mazzilli:  I don’t owe you shit.  I dropped an eight ball in your lap on the bus ride yesterday.  What the hell are you doing looking for more?  Besides it was Lee Lacy with your woman last night?

Lee Lacy:  Wrong.  I was busy cutting my new batch with some rosin all night?   I’m pretty sure it was Lee Tunnell.

Tanner:  Milner, get the hell off the field.  How many guys named Lee do we have on this team?

Ump:  Hey coach… what you got going on here?  You going to make a change?

/Dave Parker walks over and lights up a J

Parker:  Hey Ump… it’s all cool.  Don’t be harshin’ the mellow around here.  We just got to get a rotation going.  Puff, Puff, Give.  Al’right?

/Ump rings Parker up

Ump:  You’re out of here!

Parker:  Whoa… You got an issue my man?

Ump:  Chuck you better get a hold of your crew or this game is over!

Tanner:  You got your own problems Ump.  The batter looks like he is scooping up all the chalk from the batter’s box.

Tim Raines:  Hey Ump, can I use your little brush?  If this game is over then I am taking all THIS back to the hotel… because when it Raines, IT POURS BABY!!!

Dock Ellis:  What about me?

Parker:  Common misconception.  You were off the team after the ‘75 season.  Sorry old buddy but we don’t need you in this bit.

Berra:  Right field?

Tanner:  What are you blabbering about Berra?

Berra:  Where the ball should go…

Tanner:  Right… Damn… now Berra just pretend like the ball is… ah…forget about it.  Get me a beer.

Thanks for coming and suckling on Daddy’s Sugar Ball…

A Super Crappy Running Diary

Welcome back DSB readers, I am sure both of you are excited to see that I am taking the time to write another Running Diary full of misspellings, run-on sentences and retread jokes that were not necessarily funny the first time around.

This was my favorite part of the Super Bowl...

This was my favorite part of the Super Bowl…

A quick note about the pregame.  NBC first asked Archie Manning about the prospect of Pey-Pey playing in New York City with Eli and the look on his face was priceless.  The man is so desperate to have this scenario play out he can taste it.  It was obvious.  What a self-aggrandizing asshole.

After an interview with Bob Kraft about the loss of his wife and the impact on the team, Rodney Harrison says that Myra Kraft “was the Patriot way.”  I always assumed that Harrison thought the Patriot way was to be a cheating hack and to be widely considered the league’s dirtiest player.

And Cris Collinsworth wears jeans from his playing days.  They are at least 20 years old.  I can’t believe NBC let him get in front of a camera dressed like a hick seed from three decades in the past.

Costas called the Patriots “the NFL’s model franchise.”  Like Spygate never even happened…

6:17pm  Why is Kelly Clarkson the biggest star they could get to do the National Anthem?  Also country music is the fucking worst… Naturally, Al Michaels call is rousing.

6:25pm Belicheat is looking extra homeless tonight.  Clearly, this is an advantage for the Pats.  While we are talking advantages I like the Pats to win but will be rooting for the Giants.  God help me if the Patriots get four rings…

6:27pm  This seems like a good time to let you know that the first beer of the night was Allagash Black Belgian Style Stout… it was fantastic.  Right now for kick off I have a Bell’s Hopslam.  ZJ loves this beer and for good reason.  It gets the Bearcat Seal of Approval.

6:29pm  Kickoff

6:32pm  Every play thus far has involved Al Michaels reminding us of various plays that each individual participated in during the past season.  I have no reference for any of this stuff.  I think he just wants to show off that he watches a lot of football and did his homework.  Hey Al, no need to “show all work” this is not algebra.

6:35pm  Bud Light Platinum is triple filtered.  That way they get rid of any of that beer like flavor…

6:39pm SAFETY!!!! Holy Shit!  That is fantastic.  That just made my night.  That was 50-1 odds.

6:43pm  Hynoski… The Polish Plow.  FROM?  Pitt.  Great nickname.

6:47pm   The Patriots can play awesome defense when they have 12 men on the field.  Bill Simmons is wondering what is wrong with that defensive scheme.

6:50pm Cruz with the TD.  9-0 I couldn’t be happier at this point.  And NBC plays salsa music for Cruz.

6:51pm  Bud Light Platinum says that good things come for those that wait.  If the good thing Bud Light I would rather just continue to be a rampant asshole.

6:55pm  The Bridgestone Halftime show will be brought you at halftime by Bridgestone.

6:57pm  I would love to be at the party where a Pats fan has 9 and 0 in his Super Bowl square.  He has to be so conflicted.  That would be fun to watch.

7:04pm  9-3 after the FG.  The Chevy ad with the “Best Gift Ever” has best commercial thus far status.

7:08pm  “Without GE there would be no Bud?”  I hate General Electric.

7:10pm  “His chip block is assault and battery”  Ray Lewis is wondering what crime his play corresponds with… Criminal conspiracy and homicide seem right up his alley.

7:15pm I wonder if Pats’ Patrick Chung has named his penis “Wang Chung.”   I am 100% sure he has.

7:32pm  Gronkowski finally makes a catch and somewhere XXX Starlet Bibi Jones starts riding her bed post.

7:35pm  So If I get flowers from Teraflora for a Victoria’s Secret model Adrian Lima I get to receive?  That would be totally worth a 50 dollar half dozen rose set with ugly ass vase. She was alluding to a BJ right?

7:42pm  This salsa if awesome.  I am basically going to eat the entire jar.  I kind of felt like being honest about the fact that I am complete fat ass.

7:45pm  JPP with a huge stop inside the 2 yard line.  Chris Collinsworth just said “He is not a regular human being.”  HGH and steroids does that Chris.

7:46pm  Woodhead with the TD catch.  10-9 Patriots.

7:52pm  New beer Fegley’s Hop Explosion.  Lots of grapefruit flavor and serious hops.  A west coast type IPA and pretty good.  I would seek this one out.

7:46pm  Rodney Harrison may be working for NBC but he is clearly just a shill for the Patriots.  He thinks the Patriots have played the best first half of football of all time.

8:03pm  Madonna Crotch…. On my TV.  BTW:  Sean Penn has been there.

8:10pm  Is Cee Lo Green wearing a trash bag?

8:13pm  The Voice commercial was scary.  Betty White’s eyes may have been up here but her tits were on the floor.

8:17pm  The Clint Eastwood/Detroit commercial is fantastic.  Chryslers still suck… but a great commercial.

8:25pm  TD Hernández 17-9 Patriots… this game is not great.

8:58pm  I totally blacked out… I might have put myself into a salsa coma.

8:59pm  The NFL used Ray-Ray to shill for the league talking about player safety in a commercial to lead into the fourth quarter.  The NFL turned to a murderer who ratted out his buddies to represent their efforts to make an inherently violent brand seem as safe as a walk in the park.  The NFL used a krumping criminal who stabbed a man and let his buddies take the fall as their pitch man.  This kills me.

9:48pm  This game got pretty exciting here in the fourth too bad this blog post sucks…  38 seconds left.  If the Patriots win this one I will be stunned and shocked.

9:51pm  HAHAHA FUCK YOU BILL SIMMONS RED SOX WOODHEAD NATION!!!!!11!1!!!!

This post sucks… but thanks for coming by and suckling on Daddy’s Sugar Ball…
