Since I was trolling for a cartoon to post in this idle week, I figured let's go with this. Of course, the "B" on the cap and the word "Sox on the jersey tell us this is a Red Sox game. I'm guessing it's spring training based on the assumption that that's the only time they would let an alligator pitch.
See if you can top the original cap and feel free to mock, ridicule or question the manhood of any and all of the Red Sox's players, fans, ball park or history. Just for fun.
WINNERS
FIRST PLACE"Pitch him low and outside and then rip his fuckin' head off." --Satireguy (JUDGE'S COMMENT: They tell pitchers to go with their strengths so this makes sense. And an angry manager ordering a purpose pitch might also say something similar. Survival tip: If chased on land by a gator, run zig-zag and it will take them slightly longer to catch you.)
SECOND PLACE"Bean him, pitch to the Marlin, then have them both with a fine Chianti (slurp slurp)."-- LR (JUDGE'S COMMENT: It's been said that a dominating pitcher eats hitters alive, but L.R. screwed this up by specifying "Marlin." Mariner, Pirate,Twin or even Giant would have created an image appropriate for the film. Also, no alligator would drink red wine with fish--they are reptiles not barbarians.)
THIRD PLACE
"Look. I usually wouldn't use an alligator in this situation, but you're the only left-hander we have."-- Tim H (JUDGE'S COMMENT: This suggests that baseball's long-standing species barrier has finally come crashing down (I still say it will be broken by a gazelle brought in strictly as a pinch runner.) The gator does have a glove on his right hand (paw? claw? flipper?) so this checks out factually. It also makes sense. There is an enormus demand for lefty pitchers That's why the Mrs. and I were going to force our grandkid to use only his left hand for the first few years and give him a baseball-friendly nick name (we had settled on Bucky.) These plans changed when he was born without a penis. )
HONORABLE MENTION
"Ted Lilly, you crazy bastard! How are you?" --Anonymous (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Nice one Anony. Lilly is a well-traveled journey man pitcher who might actually hear a coach or manager say this when he appears on the mound. )

"Take it! If you were black you'd never get a chance to pitch for the Red Sox."
Now taste this one.
"Get the fuck out of here, Greenwell!"

Walk the knight and pitch to the bishop.
Every day for the rest of his life, Red Sox manager "Lefty" Jones would regret his decison that fateful day.
Don't worry. Buckner had alligator arms and he was good enought to play for us.

Time to head back to the gator country, where the wine and the women are free!
"Shit, Papp, why'd you go looking up the complete curse of the Bambino?"
"I'm impressed. Even an alligator who can barely hold a ball can pitch a no-hitter against the Yankees."
"They only found Hottovy's torso. Looks like there is a spot on the roster, local boy. Show us what you're made of."
"Listen ally gator, did you realize that if we won the World Series this year and every year for the next 20 years, we STILL won't have as many as the Yankees? I'm taking you out because you are a total crock."
Get this guy out, or it's see you later...
So you're the player to named later.
make that:
"So you're the player to be named later."
I gotta pull you out, oh caiman?
Hey Zimmer, you see this mound? this is where I buried the last douchebag who pulled me in the ninth.Get your Girly punchin' hand out my face fore I bite it off!
"What every you do, don't let them duck tape your snout."
"Look, kid, I don't give a rat's ass if your name is Carol Lou Ellen, if you can throw a slider, you're here to stay."
"Well, it's good to see that not only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun."
"So...you must be the Green Monster I've heard so much about."
"You caiman from the bullpen?"
"B - A - L - L. Ball. What are you, a Seminole or something?"
"We're only using you 'cause you're a lefty. After this, it's back to the swamp."
"For some reason the ump thinks you're cutting the ball."
"Look. I usually wouldn't use an alligator in this situation, but you're the only left-hander we have."
"Quit hitting 'em in the hands, Tebow!"

"The hours of glory here are a long time in between."
"What do you mean you don't which guy you swallowed? Did he have two of these, or only one?"
"Bean him, pitch to the Marlin, then have them both with a fine Chianti (slurp slurp)."
"I need to talk to you about your pitching, just don't bit my head off--Okay?"
"I don't want you leading the league in BBP this year."

Here. We're doing a Gator Ade commercial.
Thanks for the 2nd, Al. To me, for "Animal" Lechter to be a cannibal, he would eat another animal (but no gator baseball teams, so stayed in Florida). As far as the wine pairing goes, a young chianti might work with the Boston baked and fava beans.
