In summary, the conversation discusses the World Series and the teams involved. Tampa Bay has a pitcher named Balfour who is known for throwing at people's heads. The manager, Joe Maddon, is compared to a child molester. The conversation also touches on the ignorance of the Rays fans and the political incorrectness of their team name. The Phillies are mentioned as a rival team and there is speculation about former President Bill Clinton's thoughts on the game.

The Rays suck. One of their pitchers named Matt Garza, who's pitching in Game 3 has a dick nose. Balfour is an angry white dude that throws at people's heads. Joe Maddon, the manager looks like a child molester, and their fans are so ignorant of baseball that the LCD board needs to tell them when to get excited and to remind them of what team they should be rooting for.

If the Phillies win this then there is sure to be a lot of water cooler talk on the subject. I hope someone will post the scores, the number of innings, and the strikeout zones here on PF so that I will be able to join in the conversation.russ_watters said:

How come no one has ever put pressure on them to change their name? It seems to me having a cigar as nickname is pretty politically incorrect in today's anti-smoking climate.
Do you think Bill Clinton is rooting for the Phillies?

I don't. You're just assuming I did.
You don't need to have experience with a child molester to know the Rays manager looks like one.
