Delmon Young takes on Jim Leyland


Yes it is time for me to write another fanpost. (And all of Twinkie Town groans.)  However, this post is born basically through a script that I written in last Wednesday's gamethread, but was ignored because of the pace in how they sometimes develop.  After the Jump, the conversation that occurred in the half-inning after Delmon gave up Jim Thome home run number 601.

Star-divide

DY: Did you see that home run by Thome last inning?

JL: Yes I did. Why didn’t you catch the ball?

DY: Because Thome is a teammate.

JL: You are a tiger right now, not a Minnesota Twin. You should have robbed Thome.

DY: But he is my Friend.

JL: I don’t care, we got you because we need you to help us win the World Series.

DY: But I get injured running into walls.

JL: You were right next to it.

DY: I know, but I never leap.

JL: You are either taking leaping practice after the game or we are trading the Mud Hens for Troii Hunter.

DY: You can't trade me for Hunter, he loves it there in California and hates the Twins.

JL: He would become a member of the Detroit Tigers.

DY: What team am I on again?

JL: The Detroit Tigers.  Now Growl for me.

DY: Growl?

JL: Yes, growl.  I force all team members to growl for me once in a while, haven't you heard?

DY: I can't, I am a member of the Minnesota Twins.

JL: No you are not. [slaps Delmon across the face.] Now Growl.

DY [Let's out a weak little growl]

JL: You are an idiot, growl like this [lets out a strong and angry growl] Now, you do it.

DY [Let's out a strong and angry growl just like Leyland's] I did it, I did it.

JL: Now go out and grill some steak, I'm hungry.  Don't forgot to watch the ball.

DY: I will not, go Tigers, I hate the Minnesota Twins.

JL: Go get them Tiger. [Delmon runs out to his spot in Left Field.]

Love it!

Was JL wearing tight leather pants and high heels?

I don't know, but I've been told it's hard to run with the weight of gold,
'the other hand, I've heard it said, it's just as hard with the weight of lead.

Hahaha! I was wondering the same thing.

“Now growl for me.” I about died laughing!

No

He was in his regular uniform. Remember, this happened in the half-inning after Thome’s home run last Wednesday.

I'm a proud fan of the Minnesota Twins and Dallas Cowboys!

He snuffed it out on Delmon's chest?

Don't worry

Abe Simpson entering that house and then quickly leaving when seeing Bart is one of the funniest scenes in the series. Of course, Mayor Quimby and Homer playing golf in Trash of the Titans is good as well.
