The Story of Barty the Cheater

[Second Base]

Not a terrible read in all.  Honestly I came up with the idea while doing the dishes yesterday and the article turned out better than I thought it would.  Give it a read.  

 

Who here knows which player I'm talking about?

 

I'd also like to see if you can identify the metaphors.

You always add qualifiers when you post your articles ("turned out better than I thought it would," "more interesting than it sounds," etc.).  Own your work and be proud of it.  If you qualify it constantly, it makes me (and others, I would assume) not want to read it.

What do you have against Bart Giamatti?

Bartolo Colon should of just taken some Adderall instead of the cheat sheet.

[Second Base]

Cory wins.

Solid advice right there.

Man I have no idea how anyone could possibly figure out who you were talking about. Didn't even need to click on the link to figure that one out. 

[Second Base]

Yes, but did you catch and identify all the metaphors?

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

What do you have against Bart Simpson?

[tdawg87]

He seems like the kind of guy who would always be the first to call himself fat with a group of friends so they won't and he'll laugh and they'll all laugh and he dies a little on the inside.

Bart Starr played before there were steroids.

If you don't want to read it because you're annoyed with my intros, don't read it lol.

Done.

[Tank]

Criminy, what do you have against Billy Barty?

[Splint7438]

Is it "3 men who have never been in my kitchen"?

[halos82]

Nice tie-in with him being an "A" and getting straight "A's". Really enjoyed reading it and correlating the metaphors to the real events.

He makes every pitch as if it's matter of fact.

Of course I would too if I took something that increased my velocity by 6 mph at age 39.

[Angel Oracle]

Still angry at former WWE's Bart Gunn?

Of course, if my tag team partner became a lot more successful as part of DX, I'd be pissed.
