Man's game
Jim reset where the "man's game" phrase came from in regards to the Jungle. It's from a J. Stew story! J. Stew had been playing a pick up basketball game and went to take a shot when a 6'6" plus guy (or somewhere around there) rejected him badly and shouted, "Man's game, bitch".
Jim emphasized that the guy, with his size and skill, probably shouldn't have even been the game.
Corvette Plate
Another Vette plate made it to the show. This time it was "Gator" with the Florida Gators logo...and Urban Meyer standing next to it!
Hanley Ramirez
Jim covered the story which saw the Marlins' shortstop inadvertantly kicked the ball, then casually jogged after it during a live play!
Rome said you can't sleep during a game, and you can't "dog it". We learned that manager Fredi Ramirez was asked if other punitive action would follow. He replied, "You mean anymore embarrassment than being taken out of a major league game?" (The Jim Lampley "BAM!" soundbyte was played immediately after.)
Caller
Eric in Orlando got on to talk about the Marlins. He said it was very upsetting to see Ramirez not hustle on the play. Eric added that Hanley struggles on defense when he IS trying.
Haiku
Dogging like Mel's phone
Seventy million reasons
Nice hustle weakling
More Marlins
Their game Saturday was interrupted by a shirtless fan running onto the field.
Jim first reset how the Marlins' stadium is more of a club.
When he got to the story, Jim said, "Some shirtless knucklehead got on the field." He told of the guy trying to high five outfielder BJ Upton, who wanted no part of that. Rome continued, "..The only thing worse for your look than being tased is being left hanging on a high five." The guy did put on some moves to temporarily evade security. "...Keystone cops making this guy look like Perer Warrick..., " Jim added.
Even More Marlins!
This time Jim shared the strange, weird, and awful Marlins song by former Creed singer, Scott Stapp.
Somebody brought up liking Niems' song better than the Marlins' song. Alvin then began playing Niems' "Niems from Home" and Jim said, "...Honestly, I like this song better than the Marlins' song."
During the last segment, Jim kept playing a portion on Scott Stapp singing. It was annoying, but Jim said it would replace the Boom Town Rats in the last segment!
It's got to be another Rome joke!
A Facebook fan page comment: "I can't take the Stapp sone anymore. Put my head back in the vise! Signed, the guy tortured by Pesci in 'Casino' ." (Dan Findley)
