Why are things looking so dismal right now?

by ritomase on Jul 9, 2011 12:45 PM EDT

I don't want to say that the wheels are falling off but I think the tire pressure is a little low and we are not firing on all cylinders at the moment. We get good starts from our pitching and it is wasted with no hitting, then we start hitting and the pitching tanks. Coco is still Coco and where the hell did our balls go? We are down but not out though, I just hope we can get some glue in here and patch this shit up. Travis Wood needs to find it again as well as Leake. I hope Dontrelle has some old magic left. Aroldis is pitching fire again but still a bit shaky on the placement. Janish you had your chance and it has not worked out. Edgar you don't have it anymore, so Mr. Cozart are you the answer? Stubbs what the hell is going on up there man? We are stagnate right now and it is miserable to watch but I am sure that you can pull it together.

There's a place on the border between Virginia and North Carolina called the Great Dismal Swamp

It’s one of the most hilarious, accurately named places this side of Skaggsville, MD.

You who what's not an accurate town name?

Paris, KY.

Belpre, OH

It’s a French portmanteau of “beautiful prairie” and an American shit hole.

Bainbridge doesn't have the same ring to it but is also an American shit hole

Chicago Heights has a nice ring to it.

But don’t be misled.

I guess somebody found a reason to ask this question

And somebody like me had a reason to find the answer.

OF COURSE IT’S IN ARKANSAS

And you’re right, he can be a real jerkass. We have a lot of them around here, but usually, they know they’re jerkasses. Johnu seems honestly surprised that people think he’s a jerkass.

speaking of great names of towns in KY, how about some local insight!

Within an hour’s drive of Lexington there is a Paris, Versailles (pronounced Ver-Sales), London, and (my personal favorite) there’s a Boston/New Haven exit on the Bluegrass Parkway.

Then there’s Shoulderblade, Thunderstick, Turkey, Cowcreek, and Clayhole.

Thank god I’m at least in Lexington.
