CantFindABrennaman: The Reds' next road trip takes them to Oakland, Seattle and Philadelphia. With us in the studio to comment on the road trip is Cincinnati rookie pitching sensation Homer Bailey!

Homer Bailey

HomerDefined: hi all

Marty Brennaman

CantFindABrennaman: Homer, Cincinnati has the worst record in the National League, and this next road trip is going to be tough on the team.

Marty Brennaman

CantFindABrennaman: In fact, I think it will be exactly like the Bataan Death March.

Homer Bailey

HomerDefined: oh, absolutely, I can see how the Reds losing a couple of baseball games is just like the historical happenstance of thousands of captured U.S. and Filipino soldiers being forced to walk 70 miles to a concentration camp during World War II

Homer Bailey

HomerDefined: it's almost the exact same thing

Marty Brennaman

CantFindABrennaman: What are YOU going to do about it?

Homer Bailey

HomerDefined: I'm going to work on my delivery, work through a few trouble spots coach cued me into, so that when we get to Seattle I can stay on the job until every MURDERING JAP is wiped out!

Homer Bailey

HomerDefined: the entire staff has been really focused on improving our stuff. We've been setting up workouts and camps and really concentrating on getting better.

Homer Bailey

HomerDefined: in fact, these "concentration camps" have become so popular that a lot of other National Leaguers, like Shawn Green, Brad Ausmus, and Jason Hirsh are signing up to play against us.

Homer Bailey

HomerDefined: we've been doing it longer so we're just KILLING those guys in concentration camps.

Marty Brennaman

CantFindABrennaman: As well you should!

Marty Brennaman

CantFindABrennaman: Getting back on topic, would you say that Oakland is slightly like Nazi Germany, or definitely like Nazi Germany?

Homer Bailey

HomerDefined: They are definitely like Nazi Germany! Billy Beane is the dictatorial oppressor hoping to overthrow baseball and create a race of Nazi Supermen like Justin Duchscherer.

Marty Brennaman

CantFindABrennaman: I don't trust his secret alliance with Kurt Suzuki.

Homer Bailey

HomerDefined: Yeah, they tell you he was born in "Hawaii," but Hawaii is just secret Nazi code for Tokyo Japan!

Marty Brennaman

CantFindABrennaman: Have you ever seen Kurt Suzuki without his catchers mask? He's got green skin and a huge, bulging brain growing out of the top of his head!

Homer Bailey

HomerDefined: He killed Ken Griffey with a throwing star

Marty Brennaman

CantFindABrennaman: He owns 10 copies of Shinobi for the Sega Genesis that he has never tooken out of the box. And he's got crazy eyes, like a lizard!

Marty Brennaman

CantFindABrennaman: Oh, speaking of crazy eyes, have you seen Jay Gibbons' wife? Oh man.

Homer Bailey HomerDefined: something about looking at her makes me want to beat the piss out of her with my palms!
Marty Brennaman

CantFindABrennaman: you should put her in the gas chamber

a metaphorical gas chamber of course

Homer Bailey HomerDefined: Yes, I should use "gas chamber" as a hyperbolic representation of something I would actually do to her, like put my hands on her shoulders and shake the shit out of her
Marty Brennaman CantFindABrennaman: perhaps instead of "gas chamber" you could say "ass chamber," so it could be good or bad depending on where you want to go with it
Homer Bailey HomerDefined: that is fr*cking brilliant
Homer Bailey

HomerDefined: I bet you have blown the minds of everyone listening

you should win an award for this

Marty Brennaman

CantFindABrennaman: oh god, I know, this one goes to the Reds! I should win the Ford C. Fuck award for major contributions to fucking up the game of baseball.

Homer Bailey

HomerDefined: haha, yeah, we should get high, read history books, and go on the radio every day
