caption contest, hard slide into home

It’s time for another caption contest!  With the Major League Baseball playoffs starting this week, I’m going to use an action photo from a baseball game.  Here’s the picture; you write the caption (from any perspective: play-by-play announcers, umpire, players, managers, fans, yourself, etc.)

caption contest, baseball player getting hit in a bad spot

It’s time for the next caption contest!  Since the baseball season is now at crunch time, with several close pennant races determining who makes the playoffs in October and who goes home, I’m going to use a baseball picture.  Like always, just write commentary for whoever you want — either the baseball player, or the guy behind him, or the announcers, or even yourself watching this.

Be forewarned that this picture may be painful to see for some readers, so read at your own risk.

Remember to keep your comments clean…   Now, on to the picture.

Roger Clemens was injected with what???

Roger Clemens said that his trainer Brian McNamee injected lidocaine and B-12 vitamins into his buttocks.  According to actual physicians, lidocaine is for decreasing pain, to make an area numb.  It’s what your dentist might use to numb your mouth before drilling into your teeth.  And it works only where it is injected.  So why would Clemens get that injected into his butt?  Did he have butt pain?

Okay, that’s too much seriousness already for this blog, so let’s take that story in a different direction.  What might be the side-effects of making your butt numb?  Ponder that for a minute… then see if you believe Clemens’ story…
