The Dugout: Just A Box Of Rain II



Poor guy looks like he's running on a big piece of beef jerky. It must have been like stealing second on a Crocodile Mile. But hey, one more day of baseball means one more day of World Series Dugouts.

The sequel to the popular FanHouse Era classic is after the jump.

The Dugout

**Online Host**
Welcome to the Citizens Bank Park Bottom of the 5th Temporary Rain Delay Chatroom!
Maddon08: /stands at edge of dugout, reaches out to catch drops of rain on palm

MovinThroughKazmir: /sits alone on bench

/lowers head

Maddon08: "Once I spoke the language of the flowers, once I understood each word the caterpillar said,."
Maddon08: How many was that, all in all?
MovinThroughKazmir: Six. Six walks.
Maddon08: Rains falling hard, now. Think they'll stop it?
MovinThroughKazmir: They can't. If they do, we lose. 2-to-f***in'-1. You can't lose the World Series by stoppage. That's the ultimate f*** you.
Maddon08: Liván Hernández had six walks in '97. The Marlins won it that year in 7. Last minute. Liván got the MVP, too.

Maddon08: And he shall be a good man. /pats shoulder

You'll be all right.

MovinThroughKazmir: God, please figure out a way for us to score more runs before the water rises and swallows us.
Maddon08: I'm doing my best. /reaches out hands to catch the rain
Maddon08: "Once I spoke the language of the flowers...".
MovinThroughKazmir: How did it go?
Maddon08: /stares at the groundscrew muddling by

Maddon08: Huh. Well I'll be.

MovinThroughKazmir: What? /looks up

What's going on?

Maddon08: Looks like that Mexican kid the Phillies brought up from double-A is attacking Cole Hamels with a barrel.
Maddon08: And the slippery oils from the barrel are spilling onto the field. Huh! Jimmy Rollins is rolling around in them!
MovinThroughKazmir: How slippery would you say those oils are?
Maddon08: From here they appear to be some of the slipperiest.
MovinThroughKazmir: Holy sh** are you serious?? Then this means that... that we might...
Maddon08: Balfour, get in there! We've got to make this count.
MovinThroughKazmir: And if we score, and THEN they call the game... then Octobay goes on-
Maddon08: For one more day. /smiles
MovinThroughKazmir: I wish we had 162 left.
Maddon08: Me too, Scotty.
