BASEBALL SLANG
"The bases were drunk, and I painted the black with my best yakker. But blue squeezed me, and I went full. I came back with my heater, but the stick flares one the other way and chalk flies for two bases. Three earnies! Next thing I know, skipper hooks me and I'm sipping suds with the clubby."
Ed Lynch, baseball pitcher and later baseball executive
What did Ed just say?
To those not familiar with baseball slang, here is an interpretation from Sports_Nut:
The bases were loaded as Ed pitched his best curve just over the edge of the plate, but the umpire called a ball, not a strike, making the count 3 balls, 2 strikes, instead of 3 strikes and out for the hitter! Now Ed throws his best fast ball, which the batter just barely hits over the infield right on the opposite foul line for a double, allowing the runners to score 3 earned runs. Ed is approached by the manager, who takes the ball from Ed and sends him to the clubhouse to think over what might have been over some beer with the clubhouse manager.
