Anyway, a rat was running through the stands during the last Royals game, and a man dressed in Royals gear eventually picked it up by the tail and stuffed it in a box.

We got to do better, man.

Can it pitch?  

Sorry, knew it was coming, had to get it out of the way.

Also, "We got to do better, man."  Who's we?

I blame Hyde.    Half his fault, and half Hunter Harvey's.

Oh.

And half Lew Ford's.

I bet it could stay healthier than Hunter Harvey, that's for sure.

Eh. 80% Lew Ford's fault, 20% Andy McPhail's.

Personally, I don't mind that we got beat out by a Royals fan in rat-catching, though... it would have been cool to get a selfie with the rat.

Didn't let the rat percolate enough.

All the rat lines lead back to you know who.

Do  you mean Tell me the Baltimore city has rats? God forbid.  For someone who went to school there for three years, it’s a wonder that the rats don’t take over that stadium. I don’t understand the lew Ford comment.

You're telling me it is acceptable to you to watch a crowd full of Baltimoreans- who should know about rat handling better than anybody- being outclassed by some goob from the midwest, whose city surely has far less rats than our own?

Have some civic pride, man!

Lew Ford is an OH joke from many years ago.  I believe it started when he was in the minors and tearing the cover off the ball.  But we didn't promote him to the bigs for a long time.  This lead to jokes surrounding how he must be a bad person and it went from there.  I believe that's how it started, though other OH's can correct me if I'm off on that.

First, I'm not from Baltimore.  So no civic pride argument here.

I'm not sure about the midwest rat population.

I've never been to Kansas City.  I'd stake my life on the fact that it has less rats than Baltimore.

I grew up downtown.....what's the big deal about a rat? LOL!

Lew Ford is an old inside joke here.
