Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for October 05, 2024

Now I gotta root, root, root for the ball team.

The Boss should not have called him during the ball game.

Judging from the empty seats and sleeping patrons I’m guessing that this is a Chicago White Sox game.

“This is a game to be savored, not gulped.” Bill Veeck Jr.

was that his third strike?

Root, root, root for the home team!!!

He’s risking losing his job. This is the second time this has happened. Next time (if it happens again), it’ll be: one, two, three strikes, he’s out … at the old ball game.

Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks no matter what.

Lots of empty seats. So much for “take me out with the crowd.”

He’s run afoul of the boss.

Boss needs to quit harassing him on a Saturday.

Ya see nurse Ratched, me and the boys are watching the ballgame this afternoon! Happy weekend! ;-)

" Am I gonna get fired for this?"

" No, but you’re in the ballpark."

That reminds me — WHY do we sing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” during the 7th-inning stretch? We’re already THERE!
