[Little Slide Rooter]

6 hours until game time and Chris Sabo, Reggie Sanders, and Sean Casey have already homered off Germano.

[CincyCubsFan]

The key to that joke is timing. The last time you told it was the morning after the game. This time it's six hours prior.

[CubInOK]

The key to that joke is timing. The last time you told it was the morning after the game. This time it's six hours prior.

You also used players from the wrong team.

[Sammy Sofa]

See, the joke is that Germano is not a very good pitcher who gives up lots of home runs, except when he doesn't in which case he is a pitcher who does not give up lots of home runs. It's quite the gasser!

[SABR Gamer]

The best part is that he has used it more than once.

[Rizzo Smash]

Has Norris Hopper homered yet?

[El Duderino]

Sometimes I think WSR is a joke account manned by a variety of other NSBB users.

[Schwarber Fan]

Has Norris Hopper homered yet?

1 home run. Guess who against?
