Scooter!
So this week's Fox game out in these parts is the exciting showdown between the Rangers and Mariners.
I went to find some sort of jpeg or image of Dave's World's favorite cartoon mascot, Scooter, on the 'net. No luck. Not even on foxsports.com.
If you google Scooter, though, it appears that our little cartoon friend is running neck-and-neck with Osama Bin Laden for the title Most Hated Personality in America. There must be about 25,000 "Scooter Must Die"-type sites out there.
For shame. All Scooter wanted to do was teach little kids about split-fingered fastballs. And you've turned him into a jaded, hard-drinking, scuff-ball throwing shell of his former self.
Well, I don't care if everyone else on the planet hates Scooter. Scooter's my pal, and he's the guest of honor at the Dave's World one-month anniversary party.
And during the playoffs this year, when Scooter goes to demonstrate Tim Wakefield's knuckler, then horrifies America by hurling a screaming fastball at head of an animated Derek Jeter and killing him (the cartoon Jeter will demonstrate his life-like features by hanging 3/4s of the way across the plate), well, don't say I didn't warn you.
Scooter! 6/25
