I was happy to hear that there was no 3rd basemen’s glove in there…

Well, if Edgar goes on the “DL” and the next thing you know, someone is heard calling New-Skull-Friend-On-A-Colorful-Bat “Rent” or something, I’m going to start getting suspicious.

They started to, but their webpage became an unreadable 1-inch square for about a week, so they dropped it.

Hey, I think Billfer set up this thread deliberately. We’ve been had.

“that’s a real, major league ballplayer you got there!”

Well, ex-major league. Assuming a comeback, would the time in the box count toward their service time? If not, look for Marcus in a cereal box near you sometime soon.

Has The Dugout tackled Santeria in baseball yet?

Actually Chia Maggs would be perfect. But now I am getting off-topic. Sorry.

Good thinking or…just picture Marshmallow Mini-Miggies, full of marshmallow baseball player shaped bits along with some crappy cereal bits the kids will leave, except Special Prize! in every 1000 boxes–hey, you win! That’s no marshmallow, that’s a real, major league ballplayer you got there!

Chia Miggy. This is the product that could get the craze rolling.

Do they expand again if you soak them in water? Could be something the Tigers want to look into. They could sun dry the Mud Hens and carry them around in a suitcase on road trips.

I had to Wikipedia Nate Cornejo. I kept clicking under “Career highlights and awards” and nothing happened. Obviously something wrong with the page. Wikipedia. What a crock.

I still can’t figure out the brand of candy bars, they don’t look like wrappers I recognize. More like baseball uniform patterns or something I guess. Oh weird, look they have little feet sticking out the bottom, I wonder how they wrap them like that, and same thing at the top, it’s like a little head or OMIGOD! HELP! HELP! GET ME OUT OF HERE! SHRUNKEN RELIEF PITCHERS!!

Presumably, Skull-On-A-Stick-Friend had a name at one point. OK, I’m getting creeped out now.

I didn’t want to think too much about Cabrera’s skull-on-a-stick travelling companion, but I’m pretty sure being without it explains his slow start in Detroit. All this hubbub, switching 3rd-to-1st, all they really needed to do was book an empty seat on the team flights for Skull-On-A-Stick-Friend, and we’d probably be a few games up on the White Sox now.
