The Dugout: Joe the Pitcher

Sports bloggers...blogging about....POLITICS?!?? g-HUHHH???

I promise, reader. The day we stop finding photos of John McCain and Barack Obama that look like they're about to kiss is the day we will stop shoe-horning political discourse into The Dugout.

Speaking of which, today's Dugout is after the jump.

The Dugout

**OnlineHost** Welcome to Pitchers Named Joe Chat!

**OnlineHost** Joe Beimel, Joe Blanton, and Joe Borowski are watching the Presidential debate.

BlantonFlaser: pffft, here goes Obama again, preaching his gospel to all the Obamabots, pffffft

BeimelRage: ooh, Obamabots, that's really original, yeah excuse me for not wanting to vote for the piece of s*** lying grandpa

BlantonFlaser: hey man, ron paul, the gold standard, ron paul is great, [blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah]

BeerMeABorowski: God, will the two of you shut up?

BeimelRage: whoa, mccain's looking at the camera

BlantonFlaser: Whoa, he just called us Joe! How did he know my name was Joe?

BeimelRage: Yeah, I have to admit I'm pretty impressed. He's making a connection with me because he took a crapshoot and happened to get my name right.

BeerMeABorowski: wow, i'm pretty sure he blinks twice per second

BeerMeABorowski: additionally, his eyes are so beady that i want to string them onto a necklace

BlantonFlaser: Put aside your cynicism! He's making a connection with us, the voters!

BeimelRage: WHOA

WHOA LOOK

BeimelRage: NOW OBAMA IS LOOKING AT THE CAMERA AND CALLING ME JOE

BlantonFlaser: oh boy, i hope he starts talking about redistribution of wealth, that'll be really awesome

that was sarcasm, the sort of heavy-handed passive-aggressive sarcasm that comes along with being a ron paul supporter

BeimelRage: Nuh-uh! It isn't redistribution of wealth to tax high-income earners! Obama wouldn't do that!

BeerMeABorowski: well actually, it is redistribution of wealth, and it cracks me up that people are scared of it all of a sudden even though "redistribution of wealth" has been the m.o. of the united states for most of its history

BeerMeABorowski: as an aside, i think redistribution of wealth is actually pretty awesome and i'm all for it

BeimelRage: Shhh! I can't hear them make body gestures!

BlantonFlaser: whoa look at mccain bug his eyes out at obama

for a second he looked like michael keaton there and i'm a big fan of "multiplicity," he's got my vote

BeimelRage: Don't you care about what Obama wants for "Joe the Pitcher"?

BlantonFlaser: i already know, he wants to literally reach in my pocket and take my hard earned money

BeimelRage: pitchers don't have pockets

BlantonFlaser: well anyway, what do barack obama and a homeless person have in common

BlantonFlaser: they both want coin currency!

BlantonFlaser: wait i messed that up

BeerMeABorowski: this is the worst JoeChat ever
