Hey batta, hey batta...

ESPN's perennially, wistful feature reporter/former kurt loder caddy at mtv news, Chris Connelly, just did a story about a little league in ohio that had banned dugout chatter for its inherently inciteful quality as hate speech or something along those lines. More alarming was the counterpoint little league in this story. A group of tennessee kiddies had developed a catalogue of ridiculous, sing-songy, field chants for in-game use. No more just swing batter, or way to fire, or one more tommy. This was like stuff japanese cheerleaders do on top of dugouts. And then at times they would just break into a chorus of "eeehhhh" that sounded like a swarm of ciccadas. Just awful.

And to think chatter was once such a nobel tradition; Frank D. tormenting young Chris Trout, Curr teaching DooWayne english one phrase at a time.

i think the key point here is that it happened in ohio. apparently people that live in that state are pussies.

proven by this commie-centric ban on chatter and the atrocious acts against humanity depicted within the previous post.

Keith, can you find out what Dewayne Fouble is up to now? I heard he was the attorney for Frank Schoff in the murder case in 04.
