It was widely-reported that the Samurai would be losing testicles for every loss they suffered at the hands of the prancing fairie outfit known as the Riding Hoods. Beat writer Ida Fannie Fockeder of the Lathrop (CA) Birdcage Liner News, well her hearing isn't what it once was, sad to say. Samurai manager Ronin and recently demoted (from bench manager to pïss boy) Attila the Hun were both quick to point out early today that the punishment for losing was removal of TOENAILS, not testicles. Ida was heard to say, "WHAT?" Unfortunately, neither Ronin nor Attila were aware that Jake Westbrook had a painful ingrown toenail and didn't bring his best stuff to the hill, perhaps hoping a loss would actually ease his toe pain.
Rumors continue to fly around the Samurai clubhouse about who will be demoted next. It seems the chief complaint is that Attila doesn't hold the pïss bucket very steadily, paticularly when Keith Foulke steps up to let fly. Foulke is fuming around the clubhouse, angry that Ronin has yet to see fit to have him face a single batter all year.
