Add This To Your Sports Blogroll
Since we’re always on the lookout for inventive new ways to get kicked out of sporting events, it goes without saying that we “clicked right on through” when our friend El Zorro sent us a blog post entitled “How To Get Kicked Out Of A Baseball Game.”
Little did we know that in acquainting ourselves with the hijinks that go down on “Thirsty Thursdays” at Lexington (KY) Legends’ games we would stumble upon what is clearly one of the greatest sports blogs of all-time.
It’s called The Horace Grant Halftime Report, and while it’s obviously no Deadspin, the site is “100% true and badass” – like the story of its founding editor (The Drew Franklin) and his friends getting the boot last Thirsty Thursday for spelling out “#8 Sucks Balls + Cock” with empty beer cups.
Who’s #8?
We’re not even sure they know, but it’s hilarious stuff …
As the last cup was placed to spell “#8 SUCKS BALLS + COCK”, the Legends left fielder hit a grand slam into our section. It was an act of God. Every face in the ballpark turned to watch the ball go over the fence but they got more than they expected as they saw our masterpiece. As the ball landed in the stands, the camera man zoomed in on our section not knowing what he was putting on the big screen. It was a success. Legends security sprinted down the field with trash bags in hand. I laughed so hard I shit myself. No seriously, I really shit myself. As did the thousands in attendance. Police graciously showed us the exit but the damage was done. In every mini-van that left the park that evening sat a small child asking mommy and daddy what balls and cock were and why #8 sucks them. And as for #8, I’m sure he enjoyed it. His teammates in the bullpen were laughing harder than we were. One of them happened to be his roommate and he told me that they were going to give him hell and will never let him forget it. Well, you’re welcome #8. And to everyone else that was in attendance, you’re welcome too. See you next Thursday.
Absolutely … we’ll be there …

Seriously Will, why is it funny that kids were exposed to that? Those guys act like they’re thrilled that they invaded the “Family Night” atmosphere of thousands of people. You have a young daughter now, chief. Do you really want her hanging out with the type of guy you used to be? I didn’t think so.
If you don’t like culturally conservative folks screwing with your libertarian views, then you shouldn’t be invading theirs. This is exactly the kind of thing that hurts your libertarian cause. Your idiot heroes here harmed them. And without your understanding it, you too.

Cool! Sic’s first family advice comment!
And it wasn’t family night, it was Thirsty Thursday.
Thirsty Thursday, man. Come on.
-FITS
P.S. – We hope Sic’s little girl has a sense of humor.

Oh jeez Will that’s just awful that kids were exposed to that. Unless you’re an idiot and take your kid to dollar beer night. But that shouldn’t matter i guess, unless your kids learned on the school bus like every other kid what cock and balls are. Unfortunately this idiot also brings political views into play. Like when we were placing cups in the fence, we were thinking about the senate passing the health care bill. This guy is ridiculous, maybe him and his partner’s kid should go to Legends games on Fridays, when beers are normal price and fence messages are G rated. Until then, keep your kid away from Thirsty Thursday unless you want questions about boobs, penises, and hghalftimereport.com. Have a good night and some advice, Finding Nemo on ice is in Louisville on August 15th.
