Jake's shoulder

[Note by Dex, 04/01/08 9:17 AM EDT ] Just confirmed on ESPN this morning. They were slightly more optimistic, but it looks like we won't see him again till the All-Star Break at best. Mark Prior better get his butt in gear!
According to Fox Sports, the reason Jake got pulled had nothing to do with either his commanding lead or pitch count; apparently he tore his rotator cuff. At best, he'll be back for the stretch run although that is somewhat doubtful. I'm pretty much thinkin' we might be screwed. This just completely makes me sick to my stomach. If anyone needs me, I'll be wandering the earth like Kane in Kung-Fu.

So not Cool
I actually threw up in my mouth a little.
Bad week to give up sniffing glue.

Yeah, I fell for it.
I immediately felt a sense of dread when all I could see was the headline at the top. That's what I get for firing up the GLB instead of the usual morning reads.
As Wiggins would say "Damn you TTG! GTH!"
Do we have clearance Clarence? What's your vector Victor?

keep in mind
This was TTG's fanpost. I just kinda went with it. I'm innocent here!

Just dumped myself
until I realized what day it was. Let me say for the record, that some jokes are below the belt. This would be one of them. :)

if you dumped yourself above the belt...
...I would probably be more concerned.

Funny, I liked it
I almost bought it, but there wasn't enough in TTG's words that were scared. It was almost like he was saying that Blum had resigned with the Padres, very ho-hum, Jake's done for the year.

Well played, Gaslampball
It was both clever and well executed. I fell for it, but thats largely due to what I talked to dex about a few weeks ago: there is no news about Jake Peavy too insane that I wouldn't believe.
Between cutting his arm open while taking out the trash and having nurses not believe him, bitching out airport security, breaking a rib while celebrating the division win - theres just nothing that would surprise me. He could be abducted by aliens, damage an eye while looking at the sun, or turn out to be a woman and I'd probably just shake my head and say, "Man, fucking Peavy."
You could post that he and Oswalt went out drinking and got arrested for being in a bar fight and I really wouldn't be able to discard it as unbelievable!

That last one
would actually be INSANELY believable. I'd figure that they'd gotten into the Jager (definitely Jager bombs, so they'd be toasted and hyper), and someone'd said something negative about good ole boys from the South. Next thing you know, Jake's showing the bar patrons up-slose-and-personal some of his moves from the CY-Lee incident, and in good competitive form, Oswalt's trying to one-up Jake, since he got beat on the mound. Bet they'd laugh their way through the night in their jail cell singing Sweet Home Alabama.

I wish there was a way to get both up...
Then test which one worked better... this one would totally be believable.

The extra
two sentences at the end really help the lie. Just like wiggins, I got bailed out by dex.

My big gag was convincing my mother I'm gay..
Well, I fell for it.
Then I looked at ESPN and figured it out.. Oh well.

Wait a minute...
You fell for you own gag? How hard did you "sell" the gay thing?
