He is meant to be a situational left handed pitcher.

Not a closer.

My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver

That's sooooo juvenile

We’d NEVER use a female version of a name to mock a player. Ever. Right?

Not poking fun at

That guy misspelling his name, it is more the perception that George isn’t a good pitcher and is just lucky because he allows a ton of base runners. I guess I shouldn’t expect any more because it is not like Sherrill plays for the Yankees and N.L. fans don’t ever get to see him.

I was totally making fun

of that dude misspelling George’s name. Absolutely. That’ll learn him!

I'm not exactly sure

what constitutes a good WHIP, but I would have thought “Cheryl’s” would be worse than 1.23. I mean the guy seems to have no less than 2 baserunners every inning he pitches.

Sherrill..

Reminds me of Don “Stan the Man Unusual”, the O’s closer from 30 or so years back. He was always pitching into trouble and then out of it. Earl Weaver called him “Full Pack” because that was how many cigarettes he smoked while Stanhouse was pitching.

Orioles Magic vs Go Cubs Go

Hard to say which is cheesier. Orioles Magic was written in the early 80s, while Go Cubs Go (which you can get off iTunes) was written in 1994, so Orioles Magic gets more of a pass. I think the trumpet call to arms at the beginning of Orioles Magic puts it over the top.
