JIMMY GREENFIELD
With brass knuckles.
Massive write-in campaign.
Catholic schoolgirl outfit for the guards, prison garb for the forwards and centers.
None of them had Corey Patterson or Chad Hutchinson on their roster.
When Leo gave up breastfeeding. Let me tell you, Phil was ecstatic.
PHIL THOMPSON
Have Tony Soprano remove his knuckles. Works for all pitchers, oddly enough.
Engrave his name on a World
Series trophy. He may be the only Sox name on there …
A Knick would wear knickers. A Trail Blazer would wear blazers. A Buck would be, of course, naked.
That they don’t belong here anymore.
I’ll let you know when it happens. I’m surrounded by clowns!
LEO EBERSOLE
On the knuckles.
We include his name on the
Declaration of Independence. It’s only fair.
Fines for any white player who doesn’t wear cornrows. That means you, Piatkowski.
It tells me Bag Boy is in a really weird place right now, and I don’t mean “above his parents’ garage.”
I’ll never forget the first time Jimmy changed Phil’s diapers.
WHIZZER
Feed him Cheetos so he gets that orange stuff under his nails. So distracting.
Give him his own line of pants that guarantee to help win games in the clutch.
Mandatory Joe Crede pants. See, this is marketing, this is what I do. Let the product do the work.
The planets spin into alignment; the Cubs, Bears and Blackhawks just spin in place.
Telling Paris Hilton that she’s just too tall to guest appear here. And watching her believe it.
PATRICK MCGUNN
Make him pitch for the Cubs.
Start Matt Clement in Game 3 and 4. What a bum.
Personally, I’d like to see more ice. Also, all jersey names should end with “izzle.”
That ticket prices at Wrigley Field are gonna skyrocket.
Kelly Wabonski at sleepaway camp. Oh, you meant about Five on Five?
