For the record, his name is Cliff Barmes, pronounced with two syllables. De Bacle laughed off any concerns about alienating his new lead-off hitter. "That (expletive) is for talk radio hyenas. Cliff doesn't care. Hell, he went 3-4 today."
The D-Hacks fresh off last week's embarassment have raced off to a 7-1 lead in their head-to-head. The Choppers are sitting solidly with the lead pack in their league. "Keep your socks on boys," said De Bacle. "We've got 24 (expletive) weeks left in the season."
In a rare reflective moment, De Bacle, looked into the empty bleachers, took a long pull from his beer, and said, "I don't watch much TV during the season but I happened to see Deadwood the other night. That Al Swearingen is meanest (expletive) that's ever been on TV. You hear what he said Sunday night? He gave the lard-ass newspaper publisher some fine advice. He said. "Life is over when you're dead. Until then, more punishment is on the way. Now stand up and take it like a man." Cracked me up. Al Swearingen. (Expletive)."
