June was quite a month. On the field, Randy Johnson earned his 300th win, and the Rockies caught fire after promoting Jim Tracy to manager. Off the field, Donald Fehr stepped down as executive director of the Player's Association, the Nationals drafted super-prospect Stephen Strasburg, and it was learned that everyone in the entire universe has been using steroids.The Dugout personas of Charlie Manuel and Bobby Cox break it all down in this evening's Dugout, after the jump.

Hahaha. I guess it's only right to see at least a second one of these to make up for both the Braves & Phils missing their Spring Dugouts. I'd love to see another.
You know what I also really miss? The Dugout Wikipedia Report!
But I guess we'll have to wait until the offseason for that.... *sniffle*

I was TOTALLY not expecting Charlie Manuel to come up with Raul Ribanez. That should've been a job for BigLeagueChoo, eh?
Nicely done!

Seriously . . . does AOL lock you guys out of editing anything for the first seven days of each month or something?
I wish I could say I was asking this as a joke. Just something I noticed.

haha, that's a completely fair question. Mostly we just have to unplug for a few days out of the month. Each Dugout contains at least a dozen stupid jokes, and if we wrote like 400 stupid jokes a month, we would probably go insane.
