Yesterday we talked about the designated hitter. Yes, we’re still talking about baseball, it’s my blog so we talk about what I want to talk about! I’ll come up with something tomorrow. Sheez. Anyway, today we’re going to talk about the designated sitter.
What’s that?
It doesn’t exist.
Wrong.
It’s exists in sports you’ve just never noticed. A designated sitter is someone who sits on a bench in order to weigh it down and keep it from flying through the air and hitting someone in the stands. (Let me catch my breath, that was a long sentence with no commas).
Better.
Where was I?
Designated sitter. Thanks.
Now you might ask how did I come up with an idea like this? Too much time on my hands maybe. Well yes, but no. Actually the idea was my girlfriend’s
It’s so unusual I wish I could claim credit for it, but no. This one is all Poops Ahoy. One day while discussing baseball, (remember this is where it started) I mentioned that the average player who sits on a bench for all 162 games of the regular season and never plays even one inning, still makes an average of $1.5 million, she shouted, “I can do that!” and it’s been her goal ever since. To sit on her butt and get rich doing it. Living the American Dream. πΊπΈ
According to her she sends her days sitting behind a desk at work and the rest on a toilet, so who better? She even has her team picked out: The Los Angeles Angels, formerly the California Angels, formerly the Anaheim Angels and more recently the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, (christ that last one sucks. I can’t believe someone was paid money to come up with that one. Pick a name already.) Her reasoning, the Angels, being in the American League use the designated hitter rule, unlike their counter parts in the National one, so they’ll be more open to a designated sitter, that and she’s from Los Angeles. Can’t argue with that logic, and it’s too exhausting to try.
She’s even selected her number. 5. It’s her birthday. “Screw Albert Pujols! It’s my number and I want it!” Again no reason to argue. She’s a woman, which means bat shit crazy.
Can you imagine her sitting in the dugout and the team manager tells her she’s up?
Response:
“No I’m down.”
“You’re the designated hitter. Now get in there.”
“No. I’m the designated sitter. Clean off your glasses. It says so right here in the contract. I sit on the bench, cheer the team on, slap on the butt when they walk by. Mmm…hard butts. And how dare you interrupt a professional when she’s working! This hot dogs not going to eat itself! And my fries are getting cold! It says I have to have hot fries at all times! Have you ever had cold fries? They’re as bad as this team. Where’s my agent? I can’t work under these conditions!”
Don’t kid yourself this wouldn’t happen. Women can be divas in any circumstances. But if there’s a way to turn this into a regular paying profession, somebody will find away. But I’m betting on her. Batter up! But not her, she’s content sitting down.
Until next time. πΊπΈ
