slapshot Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 M's pitcher uses public bathroom during game?Monday, June 27, 2005Seattle relievers were dismayed to find out when they got here that the beautiful, still-new Petco Park does not have a bathroom in the visitors' bullpen, which is down the right-field line, on the opposite side of the field from the visitors' bench.No one was more dismayed than lefty Matt Thornton, who had go to the bathroom during the game Friday night. To do so, he had to climb over a fence to reach a public restroom, where he had to stand in line."I met a guy named Stan, who invented a baseball cap with a handle so you can take it off fast to catch foul balls," Thornton said. "He said he tested it at a batting cage on pitches at 75 mph and caught five before the seams started to give out."http://www.benmaller.com/archives/2005/jun...uring_game.html Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEAD! Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 "I met a guy named Stan, who invented a baseball cap with a handle so you can take it off fast to catch foul balls," Thornton said. "He said he tested it at a batting cage on pitches at 75 mph and caught five before the seams started to give out."http://www.benmaller.com/archives/2005/jun...uring_game.html Now there's an interesting idea.Oh. $400 million and no restroom in the visitor's bullpen? Genius I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminD Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Sad, for 2 reasons.One of which was already mentioned - nearly half a billion dollars for Petco, and not even 1 toilet for the bullpen.The one that was overlooked: the best headline they could come up with was "M's pitcher uses public bathroom during game?" That's it?! A story like this almost requires a bad pun. Howzabout "Relief Pitcher Finds Relief in Stands"? Or, "No Relief for M's Pen at Petco"? *rimshot*Thank you... I'll be here all week. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamingboy Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Wow, I wish someone had taken a picture. In line for the bathroom is a Seattle player.... next to ordinary joes. Probably not at funny (although not funny under the circumstances) when Jose Canseco was (and PHOTOGRAPHED) filling up his car at a self service gas station... in full uniform. Why was he in full uniform, and why wasn't it funny at the time? Why, because the reason he was there was because of the Earthquake that happened during the world series, and they had declared the locker rooms as unsafe until they were sure no more aftershocks would occur! (Does anyone have a picture of it somewhere, I remember once seeing it on a ESPN special.) Insert Witty Signature Here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winters in buffalo Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 You guys took that way out of context. I meant that when you go into a Petco, there's always dog piss on the floor.

Seadragon76 Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Well, it is Petco Park, so going on the grass would be alright, not to mention actually very good if they wanted dead grass in visitor's bullpen.*Sigh* Just another reason for me to cheer on my M's...
