MODERATOR: What have we learned so far about the baseball season?
MICHAEL: Sox rotation is crazy good; Kevin Gregg STILL can’t convert saves.
ZACH: Carlos Marmol — Kevin Gregg.
KATHRINE: That it’s going to be epic. After all, both Jermaine Dye and Paul Konerko just hit their 300th home runs.
ROBERT: Baseball in April is still cold despite global warming.
MODERATOR: One baseball team’s Fifth Third Burger weighs
1.7 pounds. If you could make up a ballpark snack, what would it be?
MICHAEL: Well, I want to get my hands on one of those two-foot-long meatball sandwiches. Anything with beef sounds great.
ZACH: I’d invent something that was reasonably priced (what a silly idea).KATHRINE: It would be a piece of sausage on a stick, wrapped in a pancake, wrapped in a taco. I would call it “Heart Attack on a Stick.”
ROBERT: Caviar: Because nothing is bolder.
MODERATOR: A fan claims he was hurt during a fight for a
free T-shirt and is suing the White Sox for $75,000. Whose side
would you take and why?
MICHAEL: I’d side with the White Sox. Those T-shirts aren’t even that great. I don’t know why he was so determined to get one.
ZACH: The White Sox. It’s the same argument as the smoker who sues the cigarette company.
KATHRINE: I’m with the White Sox. They didn’t force him fight for the T-shirt, he could have just let it go.
ROBERT: The fan’s. His right to beat up other fans for a shirt has clearly been violated.
MODERATOR: What superhero (or supervillain) describes your
athletic abilities?
MICHAEL: I’m probably like Invisible Boy: I’m only a good athlete when nobody is watching.
ZACH: Michael Jordan (and yes, he is a superhero)
KATHRINE: Dr. Horrible. He’s uncoordinated and a bit klutzy, just like me.
ROBERT: M.O.D.O.K.: A gigantic head with teeny-tiny arms and legs who does his best to be evil but never catches a break.
