What's Goin' On Underneath Those Pants?

francona_0830.jpgLook here, Mr. Bob “What’chu wearin’ under there” Watson! Terry Francona is not going to put up with any of your B.S.!

I don’t care how many lackeys you parade into our dugout, or how often you demand us to show you our underwears…

Although I wasn’t in the dugout on Wednesday, I imagine the conversation went something like this:

Watson: So, uh, Terry….

Terry: What?

Watson: Remember, before… uh, we had that talk about you not wearing your jersey?

Terry: Yeah. So what?

Watson: Well, and I hate to do this, but I need you to show me your jersey. Would you mind pulling your jacket down?

Terry: (pulls down collar in silence).

Watson: Great, great. Now, and I know you have a game to manage here in a bit, but, uh, I’m going to need to see what is underneath your jersey.

Terry: What? No!

Watson: Yeah, it’s a uh, new rule. Homeland security and stuff. Just need a peek. Won’t take more than a moment.

Terry: (sighing) Fine. (pulls jersey down). Now, go.

Watson: (admiring) Nice chest.... Um, ok. Everything is up to code up top. Now… I…

Terry: What?

Watson: There’s just one tiny more thing I need to investigate. I’m going to need to see what is going on underneath your, uh, pants…

Terry: Get the hell out of my dugout!

I’m sorry, Mr. Watson, that Terry verbally slapped you a few years back for your inability to properly do your job and you've yet to get over it. I’m sorry that your ties to the Yankees are making you feel you need to constantly meddle in our affairs. And mostly, I’m sorry that you like to look underneath our manager’s clothing. Because that’s just creepy…
